VLC work in progress

Last weeks had been some changes in my life, now I'm unemployed and I had to reorganize myself.

This circumstances will benefit VLC porting project, my primary goal is play a 720x576 4 : 3 25 fps TS-mpeg2 stream obtained from a Dreambox 7000S receiver.

In order to achieve this target I've been working with the following software parts:

- VLC 7.2: By now using console interface, in a future hildonize GTK/PDA interface

- libdvbpsi4-0.1.5: Last version of this component for demuxing video and audio streams from a TS stream

- libmpeg2: last versión from cvs, I've done some work on IDCT routine writing a new implementation in ARM assembly using MUL and MAC dsp extensions.

- libmad 0.15.1b: Last version of this mpeg audio codec

I'm looking for an alternative to libmad, I found that there is an mpeg2 audio codec implemented on C55x DSP integrated in TI OMAP 1710 of Nokia 770.

$ cat /sys/devices/platform/dsp/dsptask11/devname
mp2dec

Do you know where I could find doc about this codec and how to use it ?

You can find some hints on using OMAP DSP here:

http://dspgateway.sourceforge.net/

The devices seem to be present under /dev/dsptask, but I did't find any decent application programming guide, though...

Keep on going!

Just to let you know, I managed to build a fairly static (i.e. easily installable) VLC 0.8.4a by using the following configuration:

./configure --disable-wxwidgets --disable-skins2 --disable-plugins --enable-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-pda --enable-release --disable-oss

The link phase fails, but you can work around it by copying the failed command and adding lib/libvlc.a to the end of the line (or edit the Makafile accordingly).

Do you have a pre-version with the sound streaming resolved? I´m looking for a soft for listen streaming radio based on Windows Media.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Salut i força

I got vlc-trunk to compile in scratchbox and run on the Nokia 770 with the following configuration:

CFLAGS=-I/sw/include LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/sw/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/sw --disable-wxwidgets --disable-skins2 --enable-gtk2 --enable-pda --with-ffmpeg-tree=../ffmpeg-20051126 --with-livedotcom-tree=../live --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/bin --disable-libmpeg2

It currently crashes though when browsing the filesystem, but I was able to play some MP3 files specified on the command line.
