Pmusic seems to fail

Mplayer plays mp3 just fine

Gnome-mplayer is not too bad with mp4 and avi video, a bit scratchy

Compiled volumeicon but it doesn't quite work, I may email the developer. It shows in the tray ok, but preferences don't work and the volume only decreases to about 50% instead of mute when the thing says 0%. Obmixer doesn't show up at startup but does kind of work

More as I go, see if I can help fix anything

Hi Mick,
glad you got it .

Today I couldn't do anything with my Pi. We had a lot of rain last night, canalisation was overwhelmed and now I have a wet cellar . Not a tragedy, but very annoying .

Cheers,
Rolf

You know that File-Sharing prog that we are accustomed to in Puppy? I think HairyWill wrote it, may be wrong, sorry if so, but anyway it's fixed for armv6. I compiled the binaries it depends on.

Barry, should be fine I have successfully tested and transfered files over wireless.

Install all pets below (you can omit the curlftpfs_DOC and pure-ftpd_DOC pet if you wish)

Lobster, this is better technology than "sneakernet"

Enjoy!

EDIT: forgot about pure-ftpd, added

EDIT: fixed the file_sharing_nobins package

Hi,
got omxplayer working with sap6 .

A lot of missing libs, but it was easy to fix.

It's a simple console player (I guess only avi and mp4), but with GPU support and it works. At least with one (of 2) HD movies, which I've tested (Ghost Rider, don't ask, from where I got it ). The other one works also, but with a lousy resolution). Sound only via audio jack, but sound and video are flawlessly.

Will try to build a pet soon .

Cheers,
Rolf

That is for sound - not tried?

Lobster,

We already have alsa, and that site is where I got the instructions that I posted. Should work for analog.

I have been trying to get PNethood to work, no go so far. It probably would work with the debian smbclient but I saw the installed size was over 40MB

I succeeded in compiling samba-tng, 2 MB compressed but it doesn't see windows shares! Sees samba shares (linux based) fine. It's probably a bit old (2009). The alternative is to compile Samba and grab smbclient out of that but I think it would take a day to compile! Later.. maybe.

Might see if I can ftp to a windows box, that's good enough.

Hi,

I tried it Lobster, but with omxplayer only amixer cset numid=3 1 (for audio jack) seems to work for me .

The pet is ready, but 4.785MB seems to be too big for here

Some weeks ago I was thinking about such a situation and found a file server for free with 5GB amount. Damn, can't remember the name . Must meditate

Will be back soon,
Rolf

Edit: here is the link: https://www.hidrive.strato.com/lnk/pSMjQ4Kt
Install it, go to the folder with your movie, open a terminal there and type omxplayer name_of_your_file. Enjoy (hopefully ).

You can use (P)ause, (Q)uit and right/left arrow.

It looks like to be only a temporary solution. It's limited for 30 days and 5 downloads only. Then I must enable again

Edit2: Mick kindly mirrored it here: http://www.smokey01.com/01micko/raspi_pets/omxplayer-0.0.1.pet. Thank you

Hi. Great to see the progress being made ...
I haven't done much with my SAP yet.

My first priority is to get Python 3 and Pygame working.
I installed Tk and TCL and then compiled Python, but it couldn't find the tkinter module. I will try again when I have some more time.

Thanks Mick,

I've edited my post. For the next time I hope to find a better solution
