cabrio suport video snaps and loop.

[Jorge Aragao]

Hello friends !

I was looking at the git - hub on the cabrio FE and found a fork here -> https://github.com/fredbcode/cabrio interesting and that this version support video looping snaps . Compiled and works well !

The snaps work only MP4 video but appear with bugs and glitches ... I decided as follows ( ubuntu12.04 here ) .

install curlew

http://www.noobslab.com/2014/01/curlew-multi-converter-updated-to.html

selct Mp4 and select the Advanced, check box as in the picture attached .

Your videos will now be ok, but compiz will interfere causing glitch in videos .

you need to disable compiz , I use openbox with compiz instead of a script, and when I finish playing, compiz back to being active again .

U need install the openbox that way ;

sudo apt-get install -no-install -recommends gnome-panel openbox

And then run the script so that the cabrio will run without compiz with snaps and video will work perfectly after converted with curlew !

#!/bin/bash

openbox --replace &

sleep 1

killall -9 /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator &

sleep 1

gnome-panel &

sleep 1

cabrio

killall -9 openbox &

sleep 1

killall -9 gnome-panel &

compiz --replace &

exit 0




thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for your help
Yes I agree this version need more works about video, you can also try Livemamecab traceroot.c.la/test/  (Xubuntu 14.04 + mame 0.153 highscore no nag + retroarch + cabrio-Fe)

Mp4 and flv works fine but needs 30 fps and libavcodec and libavcodec version 53 (no sound with 54) but at least it works with recent Linux release

About cabrio-fe now with the latest commit the front-end record the latest game played, very useful with large list !

I forgot, do you think that in your case the 30 fps was the problem ?

Hi, and thank for your help,

Can you post a video with and without glitch, I mean version before and version after modifications ?
Also I don't understand right, with emumovies.com videos are good, except some with different aspect ratio ? (for example 16/9 ?)

Fred

Also the code need review, for example for avcodec_decode_audio3:

video.c: In function ‘video_decode_audio_frame’:
video.c:174:4: warning: ‘avcodec_decode_audio3’ is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h:3608) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
    used = avcodec_decode_audio3( context, (int16_t *)audio_buffer, &data_size,
    ^

Hi

New version:

- Fix ffmpeg problem -> but libavcodec53 still needed for sound :(
- New option "video loop" for snap
- New option "video sound" for snap
- New option "theme sound" music theme on/off
- New option "theme sound" volume (1 min -> 128 Max)  
- Save selection game at cabrio start

New options needed:

<video-loop>false/true</video-loop>
<video-sound>false/true</video-sound> *
<theme-sound>false</theme-sound>
<music-volume>50</music-volume> -> min 1 max 128

* Now works with libavcodec54 but without sound (libavcodec53 is needed), sorry 

HELP NEEDED ! before proposing a merge to Steve

- Fix sound problem with libavcodec54 (video.c https://github.com/fredbcode/cabrio/blob/master/video.c#L173 )
- Fix memory leak with xmlNodeGetContent (config.c) see valgrind --leak-check=full ./cabrio 
- Finalize new feature: one list = one button: new event LIST1 was already added

- Finalize new feature: one list = one button: new event LIST1 was already added

Fixed
New option 'list"

Example: Keyboard touch a to directly switch to the first list and b for the second (max 5 lists)
<event>
<name>list1</name>
<value>a</value>
<device>
  <type>keyboard</type>
  <id>0</id>
</device>
</event>
<event>
<name>list2</name>
<value>b</value>
<device>
  <type>keyboard</type>
  <id>0</id>
</device>
</event>

Just put a file "music.mp3" in /usr/share/cabrio/sounds/
