[06:45] <taaz> i do not understand how oms works
[06:45] <omega_> heh
[06:45] <taaz> i don't know how to stick gst in there
[06:46] <taaz> maybe if i explain this on the livid lists people will stop emailing me random questions ;)
[06:46] <omega_> are livid people asking gstreamer questions?
[06:47] <taaz> no
[06:47] <omega_> what questions are they asking you then?
[06:47] <taaz> do you get people emailing you personally rather than the mailing list?
[06:47] <omega_> sometimes
[06:47] <taaz> i dunno... today i got a "where do i find divx source code for linux" from someone in china with poor english
[06:48] <taaz> usually its just follow ups to my "go look in the wiki" form letter response ;)
[06:48] <omega_> you'd think that if they know about 'divx' they would know where to look...
[06:48] <taaz> yeah.. i said projectmayo or google 
[06:50] <omega_> hmmm, I have some french mail, with the word GRATUIT in it.  spam.
[06:51] <taaz> i'm getting an average of >10 spam emails a day now... its nuts
[06:51] <omega_> ouch
[06:51] <ajmitch> that's quite a few, i only get 2 or 3
[06:52] <taaz> about 40% are about how to spam or spaming products or spam email lists or how to make $10000 a week with spam...
[06:52] <omega_> heh
[06:53] <matth> spam spam spam spam... spam spam-spammmmm spammity-spam!
[06:53] <omega_> <splot>
[06:53] Topic changed on #gstreamer by ChanServ!s at ChanServ: GStreamer: multimedia made easy (http://gstreamer.net)
[06:54] <taaz> ok, so what's the best way to force gst down oms's throat? ;)
[06:54] <omega_> um...
[06:55] <omega_> well, obviously, getting a pipeline playing a DVD straight through is the first major trick
[06:56] <taaz> well yeah...
[06:56] <taaz> but it's not that easy
[06:57] <omega_> ok, then we need a list of things that don't work
[06:57] <taaz> oms has type detection code that instantiates decaps (ie, stream parsers) and codecs in some way i don't understand
[06:58] <omega_> is that really relevant?
[06:58] <taaz> i dunno ;)
[06:58] <omega_> I doubt it
[06:59] <taaz> hmm...
[06:59] <taaz> ok, i guess i don't understand gstreamer either ;)
[06:59] <omega_> um
[07:00] <taaz> how is it possible to push data from oms into a gst pipeline?
[07:00] <omega_> you don't
[07:00] <omega_> rather, define 'push data from oms'
[07:02] <taaz> hmm....
[07:03] <taaz> i suppose i'm confused where data production happens
[07:04] <taaz> not sure how to craete an oms src
[07:04] <omega_> if you move oms over to gst, all the data is handled by gst.  none of the oms code is left, except for the ifo stuff 
[07:04] <taaz> cause it has its own threads and stuff going on now
[07:04] <omega_> you ditch all of that
[07:04] <taaz> well, i'm trying to do this in stages ;)
[07:04] <omega_> you can't, without rewriting it again
[07:04] <ajmitch> hehe
[07:05] <omega_> the architecture of oms replicates gstreamer, but you can't just take half of it, you have to move all the data handling at once
[07:05] <taaz> you sure?
[07:05] <omega_> quite
[07:05] <omega_> how would you suggest the split be done?
[07:06] <taaz> chainsaw.
[07:06] <omega_> um, yeah
[07:06] <omega_> the whole idea is that we already have all the elements one needs to play a DVD
[07:07] <ajmitch> taaz: lots & lots of blood?
[07:07] <omega_> what's missing is the higher-level structures: IFO, menu, etc.
[07:07] <ajmitch> bits flying everywhere?
[07:07] <taaz> i was kinda hoping i could just tap into where the mpeg2 stream gets split up and instead push it into a gst pipeline
[07:07] <omega_> why would you want to go through all that work?
[07:07] <taaz> i thought it would be less work
[07:08] <omega_> I doubt it
[07:10] <taaz> does gst support transport streams?
[07:10] <taaz> i know dent was trying to support some mpeg2 tv broadcasting stuff
[07:10] <omega_> no, though I do have plenty of test streams
[07:11] <omega_> I tried to get some code working, and didn't get very far ;-(
[07:13] <taaz> are there still thread issues in gstmediaplay?
[07:13] <taaz> my little test vob locks up at around the same spot alot
[07:14] <omega_> probably, yes
[07:14] <omega_> incsched has threading fixes, but incsched isn't quite ready yet

[19:53] <wtay> hi
[19:54] <omega_> yo
[19:54] <omega_> I leave for Boise in a little over two hours
[19:58] <wtay> ok
[19:58] <omega_> and we should have some prototype logos available today online
[19:58] <wtay> wow cool
[19:58] <omega_> no idea how we're gonna get 50-60 tshirts to Copenhagen by next friday, but we'll figure something out <g>
[19:59] <wtay> do you know what the numbers in the YUV format 4:2:0 mean?
[19:59] <omega_> Brock's suggestion of iron-on may be necessary for the first dozen for the Saturday meet <g>
[19:59] <omega_> 4:2:0 means that there are luma samples for every pixel..
[19:59] <omega_> and chroma samples for every 4th pixel, in a 2x2 grid
[19:59] <wtay> so what does the 0 mean?
[20:00] <omega_> 'ditto', afaict
[20:00] <wtay> but it's not the same as 4:2:2?
[20:00] <omega_> nope
[20:00] <omega_> I dunno, there's some odd way of doing it...
[20:00] <omega_> I haven't figured out the pattern
[20:00] <wtay> only halved along horiz axis it says...
[20:01] <wtay> me neither...
[20:01] <omega_> 4:2:2 has twice as many chroma samples, they're decimated horizontally but not vertically
[20:01] <omega_> see www.webartz.com/fourcc for definitions
[20:02] <wtay> will try to figure it out...
[20:03] <omega_> and don't forget 4:2:2:4 <g>
[20:03] <wtay> are the T-shirts going to have a GStreamer logo? <g>
[20:03] <omega_> yup, and probably a small rr logo, maybe on the sleeve or something
[20:03] <wtay> omega_: hehe
[20:03] <wtay> nice
[20:03] <omega_> unfortunately, you'll be asleep before I get close to seeing them today
[20:04] <omega_> it's 8pm right now, right?
[20:04] <wtay> yes
[20:04] <wtay> I'll see them in the morning I guess..
[20:05] <omega_> yeah
[20:05] <omega_> my clock changes next weekend I think, while I'm in Amsterdam
[20:05] <omega_> so I've got some funky time-switching goin' on... ;-(
[20:05] steveb (steveb at node1ee09.a2000.nl) joined #gstreamer.
[20:05] <omega_> yo
[20:06] <wtay> hi
[20:06] <omega_> steveb: you're in Amsterdam, right?
[20:06] <wtay> hmm I do you also have DST?
[20:06] <omega_> yes
[20:06] <steveb> ja
[20:07] <wtay> I thought it was a European thing only..
[20:07] <omega_> nope ;-(
[20:07] <omega_> steveb: any ideas where we could meet?
[20:08] <omega_> steveb: and where I should look for a hotel to stay at <g>
[20:09] <steveb> I could get back to you on hotels
[20:09] <omega_> doh.  search for amsterdam linux users group turned up the Portland LUG as the second hit.
[20:09] <omega_> wierd
[20:10] <steveb> do we need whiteboards? network?
[20:11] <omega_> white/black board minimum
[20:11] <omega_> network is nice, power is almost a requirement
[20:11] <steveb> so that rules out cafes
[20:11] <omega_> unless someone brings a large notepad (1m x 0.5m)
[20:12] <omega_> or if there's a hotel I could stay at that has a conference room we could use
[20:13] <steveb> i could look into that - my fiancee books rooms in Amsterdam for many corporate types
[20:13] <omega_> um, does that mean I'm a "corporate type" now? ;-)
[20:14] greg_ (greg at home.sente.pl) joined #gstreamer.
[20:14] <omega_> yo
[20:15] <steveb> well, i'm guessing you'll be at the lower end of the scale :)
[20:15] <omega_> um, ok <g>
[20:16] <steveb> but seriously, how much would you want to pay for the hotel?
[20:18] <omega_> <$100
[20:18] <steveb> and a budget to book a meeting room?
[20:18] <omega_> dunno
[20:18] <omega_> no idea what the range is, so have no basis for budgetting
[20:19] <steveb> ok, i'll get back to you in the next day or two
[20:19] <omega_> ok.  sooner the better, since it's Saturday day and night that this is happening <g>
[20:20] <steveb> oh crap! ok
[20:20] <omega_> didn't realize it was that soon? ;-)
[20:20] <steveb> it sneaks up on you when you're not the one thats traveling
[20:20] <omega_> heh
[20:22] <greg_> excuse me guys, but I've been at this channel for 3 times so far, and TWICE you were talking about hotels (first time "hotel where my father lived ?" or sth) what does it has to do with gstreamer ? ;-)
[20:22] <steveb> ha
[20:22] <omega_> hehehe, I'm heading to europe for two weeks on Friday, to do (at last count) three different GStreamer talks/meets
[20:23] <steveb> an encounter in meatspace
[20:24] <steveb> http://liga.osc.nl/ <-- the amsterdam LUG (with address of meeting space)
[20:24] <omega_> y
[20:24] <steveb> i know nothing about these guys
[20:24] <greg_> omega_: you're famous ! anyway guys: what about asf (and other f..! m$ formats) in gstreamer ?
[20:25] <omega_> apparently avifile has done a lot of asf work, so we'll try to work from that
[20:25] <greg_> omega_: aviplay has some very basic support for this, and i've read on its site, that there is some unmaintained code to marse this format.
[20:25] <omega_> although from what I hear from wtay, the API isn't that friendly
[20:25] <omega_> steveb: liga site doesn't have much contact info
[20:26] <greg_> omega_: see ? we think similar way ;) Probably this doesnt help you much, but wanted to say,
[20:26] <greg_> that you're driving THE PROJECT i've been waiting for soo long. I hate going around all the Internet sites, just
[20:27] ajmitch (me at p27-max7.dun.ihug.co.nz) joined #gstreamer.
[20:27] <omega_> yo
[20:27] <greg_> to get lots of partiali usable programs just to watch some video files. Sth. I get under M$ win with one double-click.
[20:27] <ajmitch> hey
[20:27] <wtay> hi
[20:28] <omega_> yeah, gstmediaplay is getting pretty close to that
[20:28] <omega_> I did a CVS update and build, grabbed an FLI movie, and it *just* *played*.
[20:28] <ajmitch> wtay: what happened to logs being mailed? script broken?
[20:28] <greg_> omega_: is there any usable way to help you ? some bugreports ?
[20:28] <omega_> bugreports are good
[20:29] <omega_> the sf bug tracking mechanism is very underutilized...
[20:29] <wtay> ajmitch: seems like my sendmail is configured wrong...
[20:29] <wtay> ajmitch: and I don't know how to fix it...
[20:29] <ajmitch> wtay: hehe
[20:29] <greg_> omega_: but what can I say about bugreport: "This *.avi doesn't work" ???
[20:29] <omega_> the URL of the avi <g>
[20:30] <wtay> ajmitch: all mails basically baounce back to me with an error...
[20:30] <greg_> omega_: I thought you don't want such bugreports, If you do, I'll find some ;)
[20:30] <ajmitch> wtay: you could switch mailers
[20:31] <wtay> ajmitch: ?
[20:31] <omega_> the more failures we can actually personally reproduce, the faster we can get things fixed
[20:31] <greg_> omega_: anyway seeking from nevest CVS works pretty well.
[20:31] <omega_> hmmm, ok.  news to me <g>
[20:32] <omega_> today and tomorrow I hope to hash out the beginnings of the event system with matth and brentb, after we figure out the thread sync stuff
[20:32] <omega_> then I'll start implementing the event system, and we'll get closer to having *real* seeking
[20:32] <ajmitch> wtay: exim is meant to be good
[20:33] <greg_> omega_: ;)) you're a joker ;)) I've got simple feature request:
[20:33] sienap (synap at ipc379c13e.dial.wxs.nl) joined #gstreamer.
[20:33] <sienap> Hi all
[20:33] <wtay> hi
[20:33] <greg_> You're not narively english-speaking. Me too (I am from Poland). Hope you're planning some support for
[20:33] <wtay> hmm all apps segfault now... will need to restart for libc upgrade to kick in...
[20:34] <ajmitch> wtay: hehe
[20:34] <greg_> text displayed while playing file ? (tranlation texts) ?
[20:34] wtay (wim at cable-195-162-214-198.upc.chello.be) left #gstreamer (reboot :().
[20:35] <greg_> omega_: It would be a nice feature for gstmediaplay
[20:37] _gst_newt_ joined #gstreamer.
[20:38] wtay (wim at cable-195-162-214-198.upc.chello.be) joined #gstreamer.
[20:38] <greg_> omega_: Program may be in English - I don't care - But there are 2 or 3 formats of text files with translations, as supported by MDVDPlayer or VPlayer
[20:38] <omega_> hmmm, there's a bug report I just responded to that I didn't see an mail on
[20:38] <omega_> hmmm, ok
[20:38] <omega_> what you could do is add something to the gstreamer wiki GstWishList with links to the formats in question
[20:39] <wtay> ajmitch: can't do exim, it'll remove sendmail...
[20:39] <greg_> omega_: OK - If you prefer such way.
[20:39] <omega_> and send mail to the list as well, of course
[20:39] <ajmitch> wtay: what's the problem there?
[20:39] <omega_> it's just that the wiki provides a convenient permanent repository for the info, rather than searching through mail archives
[20:39] <wtay> ajmitch: I rely on it to dispatch my mail...
[20:40] <omega_> so a) add it to the wiki and b) send mail to the list with a heads-up (abstract of what you added to the wiki and where)
[20:40] <ajmitch> wtay: exim does the same
[20:41] <wtay> ajmitch: I'll backup my sendmail config then and give it a try...
[20:41] <ajmitch> wtay: exim has a small /usr/sbin/sendmail program that just calls exim ;)
[20:41] <omega_> wtay: 'ddent' might be interested in being our 'docs manager' person
[20:42] <wtay> omega_: oh good
[20:42] <omega_> if you can derive his email address from last night's logs, we can get in touch with him and see if he's still interested
[20:44] <wtay> will do that shortly...

[21:09] <ajmitch> wtay: what happens?
[21:10] <wtay>  lookup of host "sentinel" failed in smarthost router
[21:10] <wtay> I think I solved that part though

[21:21] <ChiefHighwater> kewl
[21:21] <omega_> got cut off, something's wrong with the DV transfer (that one's from the cam)
[21:23] <ChiefHighwater> fun
[21:23] <omega_> but you can hear his setup routine on that one <g>
[21:23] <ChiefHighwater> 8-]
[21:25] <ChiefHighwater> when do i get the video that goes with it? 8-]
[21:25] <omega_> um, later <g>
[21:27] <ChiefHighwater> doot doo doot, doot doo doot doo 8-]
[21:34] <steveb> wtay:  I think I found a problem in osssink - gst_osssink_open_audio isn't being called before gst_osssink_negotiate so nego fails
[21:34] <omega_> wtay: can nego happen in NULL state?
[21:34] <wtay> it shouldn't
[21:34] <steveb> oh
[21:34] <omega_> sounds like that's probably what's happening
[21:34] <wtay> it'll only happen when a peer pad has caps before actually running
[21:35] <omega_> else the nego function needs to silently succeed when connecting with no open sound card, then force a renego when it really does get opened
[21:35] <wtay> steveb: what elements are you using?
[21:35] <steveb> i'm still debugging my sinesrc
[21:36] <steveb> so I shouldn't set caps until in READY state?
[21:36] <wtay> steveb: yup
[21:36] <wtay> or the audiosink should accept anything in NULL state
[21:36] <omega_> so what's the general sequence for connecting things in NULL?
[21:37] <omega_> brb, I need to start packing
[21:37] <wtay> caps negotiation is happening when one of the pads has caps
[21:37] <wtay> regardless the state
[21:38] <wtay> or we could open the /dev/dsp device when doing caps nego...
[21:39] <hadess> i just thought that the same kind of "probbing" could be used to detect if a CD is present
[21:39] <wtay> steveb: I would suggest to set the caps in the _get function for now
[21:40] <wtay> hadess: probably, or at init time...
[21:40] <hadess> wtay: in soundbox, i will need to probe the device every 10 seconds or so, i need a way to know if there is a CD in the drive
[21:41] <omega_> I wish there was a less *stupid* way of waiting for a CD
[21:41] <wtay> hadess: I would suggest letting the app get a disk_present property then
[21:41] <omega_> since the CD drive *does* fire a notification event to the kernel, why can't an app listen for that event?
[21:41] <ChiefHighwater> omega_:no tape box, but a red hat t-shirt
[21:41] <omega_> eh?
[21:41] <omega_> is ChiefHighwater cleaning his office???
[21:42] <hadess> omega_: well, yeah, can do that i guess
[21:42] <hadess> wtay: forget about what i said =)
[21:42] <ChiefHighwater> omega_:a gnome t-shirt (white)

[21:42] Uraeus (cschalle at c224s9h5.upc.chello.no) joined #gstreamer.
[21:42] <omega_> heh, but is there some way for the kernel to notify a user app??
[21:42] <Uraeus> ho
[21:42] <wtay> hadess: I don't think the app can listen for a CD insert event...
[21:43] <wtay> howdy Uraeus
[21:43] <Uraeus> what about the method GNOME uses? magicdev or whatever?
[21:43] <hadess> omega_, wtay: not really right now, but it's Linux only
[21:43] <omega_> magicdev just keeps probing
[21:44] <hadess> Uraeus: magicdev checks with the kernel every x seconds, and it produces a lot of kernel messages
[21:44] <hadess> Uraeus: it doesn't actually probe the drive, which makes it quite fast
[21:44] <omega_> which is why I turn magicdev off with a shotgun whenever I see it running
[21:44] <Uraeus> ok, I was just trying to set a new record in joining channel/participating in debate :)
[21:44] <hadess> omega_: there must be a way to do that more cleanly
[21:45] Action: omega_ will be back in a few minutes
[21:45] <wtay> yeah, me too.
[21:45] <Uraeus> omega_: will you send me that mail?
[21:45] <hadess> Uraeus: but i think the first code i will write will be ripped from magicdev
[21:45] <wtay> does anyone want to start a discussion about video properties? :-)
[21:45] Action: steveb woops
[21:46] <steveb> wtay: that worked
[21:46] <wtay> great
[21:46] Action: hadess wants Xv and DGA in the videosink

[21:46] <mrrazz> hi all

[21:47] Action: Uraeus is a fountain of knowledge :)
[21:47] <hadess> wtay: i have a stupid question... why not basing the videosink on SDL ?
[21:47] <hadess> wtay: or use SDL for the videosink
[21:47] <wtay> hadess: because that would be another videosink :-)
[21:48] <Uraeus> sdlsink?
[21:48] <hadess> wtay: heh, ok, but there's already a lot of code in SDL for video playing (Xv scaling/overlay, DGA, etc.)
[21:48] <wtay> yup
[21:48] Action: wtay is going to pay his taxes... :(
[21:49] <hadess> maybe a coding idea for me then =)
[21:49] Action: hadess adds SDL to the long list of needed libraries for soundbox
[21:50] <Uraeus> hadess: you will make a sdlsink for Gstreamer?
[21:50] <hadess> Uraeus: at some point, and if the videosink wtay is writing doesn't meet the app's needs

[21:58] <omega_> hadess: keep in mind that SDL doesn't play well with other apps as far as embedding the display into widgets
[21:59] Action: omega_ would much much rather see a collection of a few well-thought-out videosinks for the main output methods
[21:59] <omega_> X, Xv, DGA, fbdev
[21:59] <omega_> add other specialized ones later
[21:59] <zaheer> back
[21:59] Action: omega_ leaves in 20min for Boise
[22:00] <wtay> omega_: are X and Xv separate videosinks IYO?
[22:00] <omega_> hrm, probably not
[22:00] <omega_> and DGA is probably part of the main X sink too
[22:01] <wtay> I currently set up a plain X window and draw X/Xv images into it...
[22:01] <wtay> DGA is something else..
[22:04] <omega_> I have to go now, so I can do the rest of my packing

[22:29] <sienap> Zaheer!
[22:29] <sienap> mkrraazzz
[22:29] <mrrazz> or i don't understand it probably  :)
[22:29] <zaheer> wtay: which elem
[22:29] <zaheer> aargh
[22:29] <zaheer> wtay: which element should i "copy" regarding caps for the stereo2mono and ulaw filters?
[22:29] <mrrazz> well in this case with the xmms plugin 
[22:30] <sienap> mrrazz
[22:30] <sienap> wake up
[22:30] <sienap> and don't ignore me
[22:30] <sienap> you gay person :
[22:30] <mrrazz> the gst_bin_iterate_func always sets the flags of cothreading elements to COTHREADING_STOPPING

[22:31] <sienap> can impress my feelings freely now :)

[22:32] <mrrazz> wtay: why ? 
[22:32] <mrrazz> what's the reason for it
[22:32] <wtay> zaheer: testsuite/capsnego/converter2.c
[22:32] <wtay> mrrazz: a way for the element to be able to stop when instructed to do so
[22:33] <zaheer> wtay: thx...., once done should i commit my elements?
[22:33] <wtay> zaheer: sure
[22:33] <zaheer> ok
[22:34] <mrrazz> wtay: yeah, but it will always stop 
[22:34] <wtay> zaheer: care for an agrument about the standard video properties? <g>
[22:34] <mrrazz> then
[22:35] <wtay> mrrazz: sure, but the managing element will call it again
[22:35] <zaheer> wtay: my video knowledge is "sh*t" so i dont think i should open my mouth there :)
[22:35] <wtay> good, in a sense :)
[22:36] <sienap> wtay how is xvideosink going ?
[22:36] <wtay> mrrazz: also be aware that the loopfunc is started over again, so no initialisation in the loopfunc

[22:36] <sienap> hej BBB
[22:36] <BBB> hey all :)
[22:36] <mrrazz> wtay: oooh ok .. didn't knew that :)
[22:36] <BBB> how late is the party saturday?
[22:37] Action: BBB also needs to know something...
[22:37] <zaheer> BBB: I want to know also :)
[22:37] <BBB> if I have a pointer-to-char, how do I unref the char?
[22:37] <sienap> hej BBB
[22:37] <sienap> mede hollander ;)
[22:37] <wtay> mrrazz: I noticed you did that too in the flic plugin..
[22:37] <BBB> hoi sienap :)
[22:37] <mrrazz> wtay: indeed
[22:37] <BBB> ook-nl-er
[22:37] <sienap> he as mrrazz
[22:37] <sienap> as wtay :)
[22:37] <wtay> BBB: unref the char?
[22:37] <sienap> stikt hier van de nederlanders ;)
[22:37] <BBB> wtay: yes
[22:37] <wtay> ik ben geen nederlander!
[22:37] <BBB> wtay: unref (char); doesn't work
[22:38] <BBB> unref() cannot be found, the compiler complaisn :(
[22:38] <wtay> BBB: what's unref?
[22:38] <BBB> wtay: to free the memory
[22:38] <zaheer> unref as in decrement the reference count?
[22:38] <wtay> you can't free a char...
[22:38] <BBB> aaaaaaaaah
[22:38] <wtay> a char is just like an int
[22:38] <BBB> but I make a million of them
[22:38] <wtay> where?
[22:38] <BBB> in my scene detector :)
[22:38] <wtay> not with alloc(1) I hope <g>
[22:39] <sienap> wtay he belg dan :)
[22:39] <zaheer> a pointer to a char could be pointing to a massive array of char's
[22:39] <BBB> if I have more than like 2000 frames the memory will get fscked up - 100% swap and mem and a crash
[22:39] <BBB> zaheer: no, it's a guchar of a jpeg image/gdk-pixbuf
[22:39] <zaheer> whereby you just wanna g_free(ptr) when finished with the ptr
[22:39] <BBB> that is a bunch of 384x288x3 chars :)
[22:40] <BBB> per image
[22:40] <sienap> in this case
[22:40] <BBB> g_free?
[22:40] <BBB> kewl
[22:40] <BBB> let me try that
[22:40] <wtay> not on the char!
[22:40] <wtay> on the buffer instead
[22:40] <sienap> try memprof for finding mem leaks
[22:40] <zaheer> do a g_free(ptr) where ptr is the pointer to the guchar of the first pixel
[22:41] <BBB> oops
[22:41] <BBB> core dump :}
[22:41] Action: BBB is doing something wrong
[22:41] <zaheer> and see if it segfaults :)
[22:41] <mrrazz> wtay: i should use a sort of state checking then ? 
[22:41] <zaheer> who does the g_new or g_alloc ?
[22:41] <wtay> mrrazz: when?
[22:41] <mrrazz> wtay: the same that's normally used in chainsfunc and so
[22:41] <BBB> zaheer: nobody :P
[22:41] <BBB> dammit
[22:42] <mrrazz> wtay: in a loopfunc 
[22:42] <wtay> mrrazz: you don't normally do state checking in the chainfunc...
[22:42] <zaheer> then you dont need to free it....
[22:42] <wtay> mrrazz: only the COTHREAD stopping
[22:42] <BBB> zaheer: I do.... memory is getting very full very quickly if I don't
[22:42] <sienap> mem leak for sure :)
[22:42] <sienap> sure you are not loosing pointers to the magic black hole ?
[22:42] <zaheer> BBB: you using a gtk-pixbuf object?
[22:43] <mrrazz> wtay: well with state checking i mean .. to know where you're at the moment
[22:43] <mrrazz> wtay: like, reading the header, parsing chunks
[22:43] <BBB> zaheer: that's a part - I already gdk_pixbuf_unref() it
[22:43] <wtay> mrrazz: if you use cothreads you don't have to..
[22:43] <sienap> BBB remallocing a pointer will not free the old one
[22:43] <sienap> however you won't be able to access it anymore
[22:43] <BBB> sienap: I noticed :P
[22:43] <BBB> but I am freeing it before it gets re-allocated
[22:43] <sienap> you just do a new mem locating
[22:44] <sienap> the old one stays reserved ofcourse
[22:44] <sienap> not that you can use it anymore..
[22:44] <sienap> BBB strange..
[22:44] <wtay> mrrazz: vorbisdec is a good example of cothread use.
[22:44] <sienap> so mem is going to expand every frame you load ?
[22:45] <mrrazz> wtay: ok i'm going to take a look at it :)
[22:45] <BBB> sienap: yups
[22:45] <sienap> he have fun mrrazz :)
[22:45] <zaheer> BBB: im just checking it out for ya
[22:45] <BBB> let me try a somewhat different architecture :)
[22:45] <sienap> bbb then you are losing mem somewhere for sure :)
[22:46] <BBB> yups
[22:46] <BBB> I know
[22:46] <BBB> if I try to run it, it goes well for the first few 100 frames - but the rest loads mem really quickly - a few percent per second
[22:46] <BBB> so I need to Ctrl-C it or crash :)
[22:47] <zaheer> wtay: do we have a filter converting big endian to little endian and vice versa?
[22:47] <BBB> imagine a movie of 2 minutes = 120x25 = 3000 frames :(
[22:47] <wtay> zaheer: nope
[22:47] <sienap> BBB try using memprof
[22:47] <wtay> zaheer: is that worth a filter?
[22:47] <sienap> if you can find out where the losses are
[22:47] <zaheer> wtay: ill do that too then...
[22:48] <BBB> what is memprof?
[22:48] <sienap> a program
[22:48] <zaheer> wtay: you saying every filter should deal with both types?
[22:48] <BBB> sienap: doh!
[22:48] <sienap> (gnome program)
[22:48] <sienap> really handy :)
[22:48] <BBB> where do I get it?
[22:48] <sienap> ehm he ;)
[22:48] <sienap> think it is at the ximian download section
[22:48] <BBB> moeilijke vragen he? :P
[22:48] <wtay> zaheer: uhm no I guess... it's just a silly filter...
[22:48] <sienap> mwha :)
[22:48] <zaheer> BBB: you use gdk_pixmap_new ?
[22:49] <sienap> going to get some more drink and then sleep..
[22:49] <zaheer> wtay: i know...maybe an inline in the core should do it....if its needed

[22:52] <BBB> that's okay :)
[22:52] <sienap>  11:01pm  up 17 days,  4:59,  5 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
[22:52] <ajmitch> BBB: damned good
[22:52] <sienap> ooh this is my dumb machine
[22:52] <sienap> other machine is 83 days :)
[22:52] <ajmitch>  08:58:29 up  9:45,  8 users,  load average: 3.99, 3.65, 3.36
[22:52] <ajmitch> ;)
[22:52] <BBB> my server is only 56 days :P
[22:52] <BBB> I installed BSD on it 56 days ago :P
[22:52] <ajmitch> *never* run strace on a running X server!
[22:52] <BBB> heheheheheheh
[22:52] <sienap> he my server is 17 days and my workstation 83
[22:53] <sienap> my modem sometimes act strange
[22:53] <sienap> and then i try to hotswap it what verry often results in a hang :)
[22:53] <ajmitch> my server was about 40 days or so until i restarted it last night
[22:53] <BBB> ?
[22:53] <BBB> ajmitch: dumb you, never restart a server
[22:53] <sienap> he yeah i am strange
[22:53] <BBB> :)
[22:53] <sienap> i hotswap hardware :)
[22:53] <sienap> he servers with high uptime often means bad maintance :)
[22:54] Action: BBB is at 2500 frames now - still without problems
[22:54] <ajmitch> BBB: um, i sorta had to, to go from 2.2 to 2.4
[22:54] <BBB> 2500 = 100 seconds = 2 minutes :(
[22:54] <BBB> the speed of my scene detector is sooooooooooooooooos slooooooooooooooooooooooooow
[22:54] <sienap> don't know
[22:54] <ajmitch> BBB: server here==dumb box with hard drive & net card
[22:54] <BBB> this movie is 20 minutes!!!!!
[22:54] <sienap> but 100 seconds are NOT 2 minutes :)
[22:54] <BBB> sienap: :P
[22:54] <BBB> kind of
[22:54] <sienap> he only 1/3 away from it >:)
[22:55] <zaheer> BBB: what time you gonna be in Amsterdam?
[22:55] <sienap> in the last minute that is >:)
[22:55] <BBB> zaheer: I live close so I'll be there when you're there
[22:55] <sienap> he i am blaating to much again
[22:55] <BBB> just, one thing
[22:55] <BBB> I have a big party this friday
[22:55] <Uraeus> omega_?
[22:55] <BBB> it will be until 7 am saturday
[22:55] <BBB> so don't meet too early plz
[22:55] <BBB> :P
[22:55] <zaheer> Uraeus: he'll be back in a cpla hrs i think
[22:55] <Uraeus> zaheer: thanks
[22:56] <zaheer> BBB: last time i heard 12 noon till 6pm is what it was gonna be
[22:56] <sienap> zaheer if he isn't on the plane to the netherlands :)
[22:56] <sienap> and i think he may be :)
[22:56] <zaheer> sienap: he's going to Boise
[22:56] <sienap> ooh :)
[22:56] <sienap> that makes difference
[22:56] <zaheer> no idea where that is :)
[22:56] <BBB> I'm at 5000 frames now
[22:56] <sienap> he :)
[22:56] <BBB> hmz
[22:56] <BBB> long live slowness
[22:56] <BBB> this is worse than windoze
[22:57] <sienap> does it work property..
[22:57] <sienap> properly even :)
[22:57] <BBB> sienap: it works kind of.......
[22:57] <BBB> I tested it on some short movies and the results were okay
[22:57] <wtay> what does it do?
[22:57] matth (matth at qwest.dsplinux.net) joined #gstreamer.
[22:57] <BBB> it gets a movie and makes scene entries in an editlist
[22:57] <ajmitch> wtay: you never got the logs sent? ;)
[22:57] <wtay> oh cool
[22:57] <BBB> each entry (so each scene) will be represented my one image in my editor
[22:58] <zaheer> 55% complete only :( ....gonna go watch some telly in meantime
[22:58] <sienap> he cool
[22:58] <wtay> ajmitch: I sent them without errors :)
[22:58] <BBB> that looks really kewl :)
[22:58] <sienap> bbb :)
[22:58] <zaheer> bbs
[22:58] <sienap> bbb sounds really cool
[22:58] <BBB> if it works :P
[22:58] <BBB> I need to make it a little more complicated
[22:58] <sienap> we need some kind of gstreamer software map really soon :)
[22:58] <BBB> it is too simple now
[22:58] <BBB> if change > 20 then new scene
[22:58] <sienap> he yeah but it is a nice start :)
[22:59] <sienap> ehm change  can be everything
[22:59] <BBB> but this should be more like if change in change rises by 10 suddenly and then gets back to normal, then new scene
[22:59] <BBB> if it stays higher, no new scene
[22:59] <BBB> like that
[22:59] <sienap> define it a little :) will ya
[22:59] <BBB> change = difference between two sunsequent frames
[22:59] <BBB> :P
[22:59] <sienap> you compare different frames
[22:59] <BBB> subsequent
[22:59] <sienap> woow heavy :)
[22:59] <BBB> (opeenvolgend)
[22:59] <BBB> yes
[23:00] <sienap> how the heck are u doing that?
[23:00] <BBB> hehe, my secret :P
[23:00] <sienap> he GPL .. :)
[23:00] <BBB> it will be GPL'ed when it is ready :P
[23:00] <wtay> sienap: just substract the luma components...
[23:00] <sienap> he GPL the knowledge..
[23:00] <BBB> problem is, it is just tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow
[23:01] <BBB> I need to figure out how pinnacle or adobe is doing that
[23:01] <sienap> wtay aah ok now i realllly understand :)
[23:01] <BBB> they do the same thing but their stuff is ready for movies of 30 seoncds in like 10 seconds
[23:01] <wtay> BBB: basically an mpeg encoder does the same thing on the MBs
[23:01] <BBB> I use 30 seconds for 10 seconds of movie!!!
[23:01] <wtay> use MMX asm
[23:01] <BBB> it does, wtay?
[23:02] Action: BBB never looked at mpeg2enc yet
[23:02] <wtay> you are working in the YUV colorspace right?
[23:02] <BBB> no, RGB
[23:02] <BBB> or is it YUV?
[23:02] <wtay> ah ok
[23:02] <BBB> no
[23:02] <BBB> I think it's RGB
[23:02] <wtay> YUV is better suited I think
[23:02] <BBB> but that shouldn't make a difference
[23:02] <wtay> 3x speedup :)
[23:02] <BBB> the problem is, if I could compare jpegs...... it would be okay
[23:02] <BBB> but I cannot compare jpegs
[23:02] <BBB> because they're encoded
[23:03] <BBB> I need to compare unencoded frames for my app
[23:03] <wtay> yes
[23:03] <BBB> anybody have a clue on how to compare jpegs?
[23:03] <wtay> can try to work with the raw DCT coefs
[23:03] <wtay> but I dunno how that works...
[23:03] <BBB> you mean the raw jpeg data?
[23:03] <wtay> yes
[23:03] <BBB> I tried
[23:03] <BBB> no luck there :(
[23:03] <wtay> ok
[23:04] <BBB> it sees everything as different so all "change" values will be maximal
[23:04] <wtay> just decode to YUV and compare the Y planes will work
[23:04] <BBB> :(
[23:04] <BBB> true........
[23:04] <BBB> I shouldn't need to compare all......
[23:04] <wtay> you can use subsampling too
[23:04] <BBB> you mean only compare the first 100x100 pixels?
[23:04] <BBB> could do.....
[23:05] <wtay> look at mpeg2enc it does that
[23:05] <wtay> the never version does anyway
[23:05] <wtay> s/never/newer
[23:05] Action: BBB has the newer version :P
[23:05] <BBB> I'm supposed to have everythine newest because I help with the MJPEG stuff :)
[23:05] <ajmitch> wtay: the logs never made it onto the list here :(
[23:05] <wtay> they compare a 16x16 block by first comparing a 4x4 subsampled piece I think
[23:06] <wtay> ajmitch: dunno what went wrong I don't have an error message...
[23:07] <ajmitch> wtay: hmm, maybe topica is just being nasty, do you have the logs on gstreamer-devel?
[23:07] <wtay> ajmitch: will try to sent to -devel again now...
[23:07] <BBB> wtay: I will have a look - this should definately get better.........
[23:07] <sienap> wtay .. btw what do you think about some plugin that allows a pipeline over the network.. so you got an gstreamer networksink at once pc .. and the other has a networksrc (with some authentication thingies) and then just uses the data to make the pipeline go on at that pc..
[23:07] <ajmitch> wtay: k ;)
[23:07] <BBB> for simple movies, it works fine, though :P
[23:08] <wtay> sienap: nice..
[23:08] <sienap> wtay he i can't make it :)
[23:08] <sienap> so ehm it suppose to be an idea for someone around here ;)
[23:08] <wtay> ajmitch: sent...
[23:08] <sienap> wtay i think it could be really usefull
[23:09] <sienap> an example: render an avi at a p700 and then pipeline it to an videosink that runs at a p100 ..
[23:09] <sienap> or something :)
[23:09] <BBB> sienap: why don't you implement it yourself? :P
[23:09] <sienap> just an example
[23:09] <sienap> BBB read above
[23:09] <sienap> i can't
[23:09] Action: wtay is waiting for an email...
[23:09] <sienap> i am dumb ;)
[23:09] <wtay> sienap: RTP is used for that too
[23:09] <sienap> wtay hmms..
[23:09] <sienap> but what do you think about it
[23:09] <BBB> sienap: if you're dumb, then how come you got the idea?
[23:10] <sienap> bbb he .. i was showering :)
[23:10] <BBB> sienap: come on, I learned programming all by myself starting from the gtk tutorial half a year ago
[23:10] <BBB> I never programmed any C at all
[23:10] <sienap> bbb then you are simply smarter :)
[23:10] <BBB> and now, half a year later, I am making a scene detector :P
[23:10] <sienap> and i program to less
[23:10] <BBB> sienap: okay, so it would take you 4 instead of my 3 months
[23:11] <ajmitch> wtay: the logs are on gstreamer-devel
[23:11] Action: BBB never programs at all except when he has time besides university
[23:11] <wtay> sienap: we are working on network transparency... corba, RTP, http etc..
[23:11] <sienap> bbb mwha if i will do a every day 10 hours code round maybe yes :)
[23:11] <wtay> ajmitch: ?
[23:11] <wtay> ajmitch: can't find 'em...
[23:11] <sienap> wtay so my idea is going to devnull ?: )
[23:11] <ajmitch> wtay: maybe 'check mail' ? ;)
[23:11] <BBB> sienap: :P
[23:12] <sienap> bbb i code way to less
[23:12] <sienap> however plan to change that really soon :)
[23:12] <sienap> i've got an gstreamer project in mind
[23:12] <sienap> somewhere..
[23:12] <wtay> ajmitch: did that... strange I had mail but it wouldn't show in eveolution...
[23:12] <sienap> wtay b
[23:13] <sienap> i've got 2 others :)
[23:13] <sienap> also about network stuff
[23:13] <sienap> you know videolan?
[23:13] <ajmitch> wtay: ah, maybe a slow ISP?
[23:13] <BBB> mrowe at jamaro:~$ xawtv
[23:13] <BBB> This is xawtv-3.40, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.0-ac2)
[23:13] <BBB> Xv: using port 46 for video
[23:13] <BBB> The app-defaults file is not correctly installed.
[23:13] <BBB> Your fault (core dumped)
[23:13] <BBB> how about that segfault? :PPPPP
[23:14] <BBB> damn it's kewl :)
[23:14] <BBB> Your fault (core dumped) <----- :)))))
[23:14] <wtay> ajmitch: nope, the mail is lost...
[23:14] <sienap> he
[23:14] <sienap> maybe he is faking a segfault
[23:14] <sienap> by segfault it himself..
[23:14] <BBB> muhahahahah - got that bug report for the general mjpeg mailing list a few minutes ago
[23:14] <sienap> however it is cool
[23:15] <BBB> it's funny - I'm gonna make such a segfault handler too
[23:15] <sienap> hej wtay ? still there?
[23:15] <sienap> he
[23:15] <sienap> it is useless :)
[23:15] <sienap> and not good for users if you ask me ;)
[23:15] <wtay> ajmitch: mail to FD sent...
[23:15] <sienap> and not orginal anymore
[23:15] <sienap> however it is fun :)
[23:15] <sienap> Wim ? there?
[23:15] <wtay> yes?
[23:16] <sienap> you know videolan?
[23:16] <wtay> yes
[23:16] <sienap> what about making an broadcastsink / src for gstreamer ? :)
[23:16] <sienap> so one machine can encode an movie..
[23:16] <sienap> trow it as broadcast on the network
[23:16] <wtay> sienap: go ahead :)
[23:16] <sienap> and a bunch of clients can pick up the stream
[23:16] <sienap> he damn you are not fair :)
[23:16] <sienap> you know how stupid i am :)
[23:17] <ajmitch> hehe
[23:17] <BBB> I'm @ frame 16500
[23:17] <BBB> I wonder how many frames my movie has
[23:17] <sienap> bbb of how many ?
[23:17] <ajmitch> wtay: topica is slooow
[23:17] <sienap> HE :)
[23:17] <wtay> ajmitch: still no error mail...
[23:17] <BBB> 20 minutesx60x25 = 30.000
[23:17] <sienap> aaaaaaaaaaaaaah :)
[23:18] <ajmitch> wtay: probably went thru, but topica is useless, remember ;)
[23:18] <BBB> so I'm past 50%!!!!! :PPP
[23:18] <sienap> is it already making scene shots ?
[23:18] <sienap> hmm
[23:18] <wtay> ajmitch: so you claim the mail arrived at -devel?
[23:18] <sienap> wtay you think it is hard to just trow data on the network ?
[23:18] <wtay> sienap: easy
[23:18] <sienap> in this case decoded movie data ?
[23:19] <sienap> wtay he and too source it ?

[23:19] <mrrazz> Subject: [gst-devel] Daily IRC logs
[23:20] Action: wtay wonders where his mail went...
[23:20] <sienap> wtay hmm .. is the decoded movie data that goes to the videosink always the same ?
[23:20] <sienap> i guess so huh ?
[23:20] <wtay> nope
[23:20] <sienap> hmm
[23:20] <sienap> can you explain me a little?
[23:20] <wtay> ohh I have it too "&'"èç!è&"é evolution
[23:21] <sienap> he read the intro of evolution :)
[23:21] <wtay> sienap: caps nego <g> the format can be anything the videosink understands
[23:21] <sienap> grum that makes stuff pretty much harder
[23:21] <wtay> RGB, YUV etc..
[23:21] <sienap> since that can be different every puter..
[23:21] <wtay> sienap: nope, with gstreamer you don't have to care about the format
[23:22] <sienap> wtay he .. *CONFUSED*
[23:22] <BBB> sienap: making scene shots would make it even slower!
[23:22] <BBB> uhm
[23:22] <sienap> BBB >:)
[23:22] <BBB> but it would look nice :P
[23:22] <BBB> I will first try the scene checking for only one color (red-only)
[23:22] <sienap> wtay ok so if i send the same stream *that is between  mpegdec -> videosink to an YUY or and RGB puter.. it will all show the same
[23:22] <wtay> sienap: with gstreamer you just connect the elements and the autoplugger will handle all format conversions
[23:23] <sienap> wtay yeah i understand that
[23:23] <wtay> sienap: yes
[23:23] <sienap> but when you broadcast it over the network
[23:23] <wtay> need to manage capsnego over the network though...
[23:23] <sienap> you don't want to have 100 machines babbling about negotation and stuff
[23:23] <sienap> wtay look that is my problem
[23:23] <wtay> then just send out one format
[23:23] <wtay> YUV, nothing else
[23:24] <wtay> but you don't want to send raw video over the net unless you have a gigabit line
[23:24] <sienap> HE >:)
[23:24] <sienap> good point
[23:24] <sienap> he so you should do it before the decode..
[23:24] <wtay> yes
[23:24] <sienap> and every machine should decode the stream it self..
[23:24] <wtay> yes
[23:24] <sienap> he damn :)
[23:25] <wtay> indeed that the way it is
[23:25] <sienap> it would be so nice to just have one machine decoding a stream
[23:25] <sienap> and every machine just using the power of one ;)
[23:25] <zaheer> you wanna send media on the network via RTP
[23:25] <wtay> that's the whole point of video encoding remember
[23:25] Action: BBB thinks he needs a P-4
[23:25] <zaheer> and with RTP, one knows the payload type
[23:25] <sienap> zaheer just thinking :)
[23:25] <wtay> make it smaller and manageable
[23:25] <BBB> anyone wanna buy me a dual P-4?
[23:25] <zaheer> and so can be autonego'd
[23:26] <ajmitch> BBB: if you buy me a dual athlon 1.3ghz ;)
[23:26] <BBB> yummy
[23:26] <zaheer> remember RTP is for real-time media transfer
[23:26] <zaheer> not just audio
[23:26] <sienap> wtay so how could i ever handle capsnego when i broadcast video ?
[23:26] <sienap> any clue ? :)
[23:27] <wtay> CORBA could be used...
[23:27] <zaheer> sienap: use rtpsrc and rtpsink
[23:27] <wtay> or your own protocol
[23:27] <sienap> zaheer those are ment for this kind of stuff ?
[23:27] <wtay> yes definatly
[23:27] <zaheer> sienap: rtp is meant for real-time media delivery
[23:27] <sienap> so with rtpsrc / sink i could make an network transparant pipeline ?
[23:27] <zaheer> yes
[23:28] <wtay> almost
[23:28] <sienap> he :) coool
[23:28] <zaheer> you need 2 pipelines
[23:28] <sienap> he why almost ?
[23:28] Uraeus (cschalle at c224s9h5.upc.chello.no) left irc: syntax error - user imploded
[23:28] <wtay> when we have the rtpsrc :)
[23:28] <sienap> explain me..
[23:28] <zaheer> one on either side of the network
[23:28] <zaheer> wtay: yah im working on that :)
[23:28] <sienap> yeah ok :)
[23:28] <sienap> zaheer i understand that :)
[23:28] <sienap> it is just a bridge between 2 pipelines
[23:28] <zaheer> sienap: youd need a pipeline on the source machine, and one on the sink machine
[23:28] <sienap> yeah doh :)
[23:29] <zaheer> but theoretically you can just use autoplug for both
[23:29] <sienap> that seems pretty logical huh :)
[23:29] <sienap> so with rtpsrc / sink caps negotation will work OVER the network ?
[23:29] <wtay> need to be able to create the second pipeline using CORBA too
[23:29] <wtay> zaheer: are you going to handle capsnego over RTP too?
[23:29] greg_ (greg at home.sente.pl) left irc: Ping timeout for greg_[home.sente.pl]
[23:29] <zaheer> wtay: that can be done over RTCP
[23:29] <sienap> he ooh it all lays in the hands of our zaheer ;)
[23:30] <zaheer> and would be a very nice idea :)
[23:30] greg_ (greg at home.sente.pl) joined #gstreamer.
[23:30] <wtay> zaheer: cool... are you? :)
[23:30] <sienap> wtay however i understand (a little) how it would be possible for just one machine
[23:30] <zaheer> capsnego using RTCP is a nice idea :)
[23:30] <zaheer> wtay: no, but yes i plan to put that in :)
[23:30] <wtay> very good
[23:30] <sienap> wtay / zaheer so rtpsrc/ sink could connect a pipeline between 2 machines
[23:31] <wtay> yes
[23:31] <sienap> however what if the situation is like this:
[23:31] <zaheer> sienap: yes, theoretically, however not at the moment :)
[23:31] <sienap> yeah but it is going to..
[23:31] <wtay> you could construct the second pipeline on the other machine using CORBA if you want too...
[23:31] <sienap> wtay ehm explain?
[23:31] <zaheer> wtay: yah that is an idea also...
[23:32] <wtay> sienap: machine 1 says: I want media X
[23:32] <wtay> machine 2 constructs local pipeline1 and pipeline2 on the remote machine using corba
[23:32] <zaheer> corba is good for controlling streams
[23:32] <sienap> ooh i understand
[23:32] <zaheer> but corba isnt ideal for streaming
[23:32] <wtay> machine one gets the streams *and* the pipeline to play it
[23:33] <sienap> so one machine creates the pipeline for both
[23:33] <sienap> he that is nice
[23:33] <wtay> zaheer: indeed
[23:33] <wtay> you could also download the pipeline with XML
[23:33] <zaheer> it is very nice
[23:33] <sienap> hmm ok but.. what if i want broadcast the data over the network.. ..
[23:33] <sienap> and have say around 200 machines that are in my segment able to watch the medida..
[23:33] <zaheer> sienap: they negotiate rtp ports etc using corba
[23:33] <wtay> machine2 downloads XML, constructs the pipeline (with RTPSRC) and runs it
[23:34] <sienap> how could i ever solve such an thing
[23:34] <ajmitch> bye
[23:34] ajmitch (me at p9-max3.dun.ihug.co.nz) left irc: http://www.freedevelopers.net
[23:34] matth (matth at qwest.dsplinux.net) left irc: Read error to matth[qwest.dsplinux.net]: EOF from client
[23:34] <zaheer> which is exactly what is being done between previking and opentelemedia
[23:34] <sienap> eh.. hello reactions ?
[23:34] <zaheer> the rtp details is being negotiated via corba
[23:34] <wtay> zaheer knows all about media servers
[23:35] <sienap> he
[23:35] <sienap> zaheer
[23:35] <BBB> but uhm - if anyone knows how late we'll meet saturday, please tell me
[23:35] <sienap> can you help me a little
[23:35] <BBB> and where
[23:35] <sienap> with idea that is :)
[23:35] <zaheer> sienap: i hope youd have multicast capabilities :)
[23:35] <sienap> the network or my knowledge ?
[23:35] <zaheer> BBB: 12-6 was last i heard and venue undecided...
[23:35] <zaheer> sienap: network...
[23:36] <sienap> he network has for sure :)
[23:36] <BBB> zaheer: in amsterdam, a cafe?
[23:36] <sienap> however explain my the magic..
[23:36] <zaheer> sienap: you should use opentelemedia for your scenario
[23:36] Action: BBB will find a place in Amsterdam if necessary
[23:36] <sienap> zaheer he cool dude :) EXPLAIN :)
[23:36] <zaheer> BBB: you know a place that'll show the liverpool vs man utd game?
[23:37] <sienap> don't forget i want to use gstreamer :)
[23:37] <BBB> zaheer: are you nuts? then, you'd have to visit an irish pb
[23:37] <zaheer> OpenTeleMedia is a media server that uses gstreamer
[23:37] <BBB> dutch pubs hardly have tvs
[23:37] <sienap> oh ic :)
[23:37] <sienap> great
[23:37] <BBB> we have some irish pubs in amsterdam, though
[23:37] <sienap> btw :)
[23:37] <sienap> maybe it is nice
[23:37] <BBB> and one in utrecht :)
[23:37] <sienap> to not make one big pipeline
[23:37] <BBB> let's go to utrecht!!!!!!!!!
[23:37] <sienap> but cut the pipelines..
[23:38] <sienap> so you get something like this:
[23:38] <wtay> sienap: that's the idea for the render farms we are going to do next...
[23:38] <sienap> server gives out an xml for the pipeline..
[23:38] Action: BBB is @ 28300 frames
[23:38] <sienap> all clients say aah great and build the pipeline
[23:38] <sienap> then we have a sink
[23:38] <sienap> that virtually is the end of the pipeline
[23:38] <sienap> however streams the data to the network
[23:39] <zaheer> sienap: what if machines are heterogeneous?
[23:39] <zaheer> and some dont have gstreamer....
[23:39] <sienap> and all the clients has a src.. what virtually is the begining of the pipeline
[23:39] <sienap> zaheer then they die :)
[23:39] <wtay> zaheer: all machines *will* have gstreamer :)
[23:39] <sienap> wtay indeed :)
[23:39] <zaheer> so requirement a: all machines have gstreamer...
[23:39] <sienap> however what about this idea ?
[23:39] <wtay> it's called world domination <g>
[23:39] <BBB> wtay: in your dreams - first make it not crash my MJPEGs :-P
[23:39] <sienap> he i did discribe it a little shitty..
[23:40] <BBB> if it doesn't crash my MJPEGs I'll support ya
[23:40] <zaheer> ill explain what OpenTeleMedia does/will do and you can say whether it is feasible....
[23:40] <sienap> he ok
[23:40] Action: wtay thinks sienap reinvented OpenTeleMedia :)
[23:40] <sienap> he :)
[23:41] <wtay> sorta
[23:41] <sienap> thinks he wants things those already excists :)
[23:41] <zaheer> client tells OpenTeleMedia via TCP or CORBA: a) what media it wants in form of a URL, b) what format it wants it in and c) rtp port and ip address
[23:41] <sienap> however it is a nice subject to talk about
[23:41] <BBB> uhm
[23:41] <BBB> my editlist is 36 kb
[23:42] <BBB> that's not good
[23:42] <BBB> it should be at most a few 100 b
[23:42] <BBB> :P
[23:42] Action: BBB is gonna improve it
[23:42] <zaheer> OpenTeleMedia returns client a success/failure and if success, creates a pipeline and uses rtpsink as sink to send to relevant RTP host
[23:43] <sienap> zaheer so it starts a new tcp/ip connection for EVERY client..
[23:43] <zaheer> sienap: depends on URL
[23:43] <sienap> zaheer why ?
[23:43] greg_ (greg at home.sente.pl) left irc: Ping timeout for greg_[home.sente.pl]
[23:43] <zaheer> if URL is musiconhold:/blah it tells it to join a milticast group
[23:44] <sienap> he yeah you are talking about audio..
[23:44] <sienap> but video
[23:44] <sienap> takes some more bandwidth..
[23:44] <sienap> so what i was thinking
[23:44] <zaheer> and?
[23:44] <sienap> is to just abuse the whole nwtorks broadcast adres.
[23:44] <sienap> network even
[23:44] <sienap> and that clients can ask the server for some information
[23:44] <zaheer> i wouldnt do that...
[23:44] <sienap> about what is broadcasting
[23:45] <sienap> and then just join into the broadcast
[23:45] <zaheer> sienap: have a look at sdr
[23:45] <sienap> zaheer it is nice for small networks
[23:45] <zaheer> sdr = session directory
[23:45] <sienap> wtf is sdr ?
[23:45] <sienap> huh ? :()
[23:45] <zaheer> sienap: it'll kill the ethernet
[23:45] <BBB> hehe - my scene detector detects all scene changes, just 90% of what it claims is actually nothing
[23:45] <sienap> zaheer it will
[23:45] <sienap> but seperated connection will kill it as well
[23:45] Action: BBB needs to adapt it, make it quicker, more specific, etc.
[23:45] <zaheer> multicast would work better
[23:46] <wtay> you'll get removed from the internet in just a sec...
[23:46] greg_ (greg at home.sente.pl) joined #gstreamer.
[23:46] <sienap> zaheer what is the difference ?
[23:46] <zaheer> at last the IBM JDK has finished downloaded
[23:46] <zaheer> sienap: clients choose to join multicast grp
[23:46] <sienap> wtay it isn't f or internet
[23:46] <BBB> zaheer: JDK = sun, not ibm
[23:46] <sienap> but for local lans..
[23:46] <zaheer> BBB: IBM have a JDK 1.3.6 which is faster than Sun;s
[23:46] <sienap> zaheer never noticed that not even the half of internet routers support multicast
[23:46] <sienap> it is an nice idea
[23:46] <sienap> but won't work on internet
[23:47] <zaheer> well broadcast wont work either :P
[23:47] <BBB> zaheer: so did M$ and I'm still shooting M$ for creating windoze-specific extensions
[23:47] <sienap> he >:)
[23:47] Action: BBB hates java anyways :)
[23:47] <sienap> yeah  ..
[23:47] <zaheer> BBB: try to do any XSL stuff using anything but JAVA :)
[23:47] <sienap> zaheer but however my idea is just for networks with 50 people on it or so
[23:47] <sienap> the problem is.
[23:47] <zaheer> and...
[23:47] <wtay> zaheer: libxslt from the libxml guy...
[23:47] <BBB> try to make anything run quick in java
[23:47] <sienap> is it possible to seperate the pipeline ?
[23:48] <zaheer> wtay: where? :)
[23:48] <wtay> xmlsoft.org
[23:48] <BBB> muhhahahahhahahahahhahahaaha
[23:48] <zaheer> sienap: sure....
[23:48] <BBB> there ya go, zaheer
[23:48] <BBB> so java is useless
[23:48] <sienap> wtay you think it is possible to virtually cut the pipeline without getting strange stuff ?
[23:48] <sienap> my idea was to have an server
[23:48] <zaheer> BBB: if libxslt exists and works to the standard, then I wont be using the xslt java stuff...
[23:49] <sienap> which sends the media data to the broadcast adres..
[23:49] <BBB> zaheer: so you agree that java sucks?
[23:49] <BBB> :)
[23:49] <zaheer> BBB: i avoid java whenever i can...
[23:49] <sienap> and clients who ask the server for a proper pipeline and some media information..
[23:49] <BBB> sienap: wouldn't that really overloa the network?
[23:49] <wtay> sienap: that's the purpose of gstreamer...
[23:49] <sienap> BBB ehm every video transmision over the network will overload it
[23:49] <sienap> so yes it will
[23:49] <BBB> sending it to broadcast.....
[23:49] <sienap> but it is broadcasted
[23:49] <BBB> makes it worse :)
[23:50] <zaheer> multicast would only send it to selected addresses
[23:50] <zaheer> but will act as one video stream
[23:50] <sienap> bbb you think sending it seperated to 5 clients will load an non switched network less ?
[23:50] <wtay> don't broadcast...
[23:50] <sienap> wtay i think broadcast is great for a small network
[23:50] <sienap> since there is no additional data needed
[23:50] <BBB> sienap: non-switched, no, switched, yes
[23:50] <sienap> everyone can just listen..
[23:50] <zaheer> sienap: is it hub based or switched?
[23:50] <sienap> hub based
[23:50] <zaheer> then use broadcast
[23:50] <sienap> just image an network that is totally hub based..
[23:51] <zaheer> coz it wont make a difference
[23:51] <sienap> zaheer that is what i am trying to tell!
[23:51] <wtay> true
[23:51] <zaheer> however if they put in a switch at sometime
[23:51] <sienap> and the point with broadcast is
[23:51] <wtay> it won't scale to anything else though...
[23:51] <zaheer> then youre better off with multicast
[23:51] <sienap> the data stream keeps only at that point
[23:51] <sienap> if you send the data seperated too all clients
[23:51] <wtay> I'm going to sleep now.. cya all
[23:51] <sienap> it will overload the segment only more..
[23:51] Nick change: wtay -> wtay-sleeping
[23:51] <zaheer> night wtay
[23:51] <sienap> night..
[23:51] <wtay-sleeping> cya
[23:51] <BBB> tru
[23:51] <BBB> nite wtay
[23:51] <sienap> zaheer so when broadcasting isn't a problem
[23:52] <sienap> and in this kind of situation you are just able to broadcast your stuff
[23:52] <zaheer> multicast and broadcast have exactly same effect on a hub based lan
[23:52] <sienap> zaheer i know
[23:52] <zaheer> however multicast saves traffic on a lan with even one switch on
[23:52] <sienap> hmm true
[23:53] <sienap> however then it is maybe nice to just use multicast
[23:53] <sienap> since it is the same on hub based networks
[23:53] <zaheer> so if you wanna scale to a large lan then use multicast
[23:53] <sienap> and spare traffic at switched networks
[23:53] <sienap> yeah indeed
[23:53] <zaheer> theres already stuff done that does what youre talking about
[23:53] <sienap> he :)
[23:53] <sienap> hmm :)
[23:53] <zaheer> look up sdr for example
[23:53] <zaheer> and you'll see lots of related software
[23:54] <sienap> but i am still wondering about some issues
[23:54] <zaheer> none of those uses gstreamer tho
[23:54] mrrazz (mrrazz at asd-tel-ap01-d11-137.dial.freesurf.nl) left irc: Ping timeout for mrrazz[asd-tel-ap01-d11-137.dial.freesurf.nl]
[23:54] <sienap> zaheer is it build on gstreamer..
[23:54] <sienap> zaheer time to make one use it :)
[23:54] <zaheer> go for it
[23:54] <sienap> he ;)
[23:54] <sienap> maybe someday
[23:54] <sienap> so if you are able to split up the pipeline in virtual 2 pipelines
[23:55] Action: hadess is reading the backlog
[23:55] <sienap> they won't need information about each other
[23:55] <zaheer> why you need to do that?
[23:55] <sienap> because when you multicast
[23:56] <sienap> you get blaats from 50 other pipelines :)
[23:56] <sienap> you just don't want that
[23:56] <sienap> when it can be seperated
[23:56] <zaheer> client finds out what format from server and then autoplugs rtpsrc to whatever sink it wants
[23:56] <zaheer> so you have 2 seperate pipelines
[23:56] <hadess> when i get mpeg2 decoding working well enough, i might do a basic dvd player with gstreamer, just because it's sooooo easy to use gstreamer
[23:56] <sienap> yeah
[23:56] <sienap> that is what i am saying :)
[23:56] <hadess> <end of the advert>
[23:56] <zaheer> without server telling client to use pipeline x
[23:56] <zaheer> hadess: thats cool
[23:57] <sienap> hadess and itunes clone huh :)
[23:57] <sienap> howlong will that one take to get finished
[23:57] <sienap> btw cool indeed
[23:57] <hadess> the itunes clone will take a _long_ time to finish
[23:57] <sienap> hadess yeah ok
[23:57] <sienap> but is there already something ?
[23:57] <zaheer> DOH! I downloaded the JDK rpm.....and I am using debian
[23:57] <sienap> ok..
[23:58] <sienap> zaheer you will not get mad when i ROFL at u ?
[23:58] Action: zaheer is gonna try extracting from the rpm
[23:58] <hadess> sienap: yes, the whole framework to handle the different type of sources, the gui (although the artwork is crude)
[23:59] <sienap> he then what is left to be done >:)
[00:00] --- Wed Mar 28 2001
[00:00] <hadess> sienap: and i've hacked on g-force for the visualisation, took notes on how to use libcdaudio to get audio cd info
[00:00] <hadess> sienap: what's left... all the actual code that does something =)
[00:00] <sienap> <G> :)
[00:00] <sienap> he
[00:00] <sienap> detail
[00:00] <sienap> when do you think to have an first version ?
[00:01] <hadess> i don't know, i'll need to learn libxml, libcdaudio, gstreamer's visualisation plugins programming, and much about etable
[00:01] Action: zaheer looks very interestingly at libxslt....
[00:02] <sienap> what is libxslt doing btw /
[00:02] <sienap> hadess etable being widget from gal ?
[00:02] <hadess> sienap: yes
[00:02] <sienap> aah then we talk about the same ;)
[00:02] <sienap> evo uses etable to sperate the mails / message / other stuff huh ?
[00:03] <zaheer> libxslt does what Xalan and Xt does
[00:03] <sienap> and those do ?
[00:03] <zaheer> it transforms xml files from one type to another using an XSL stylesheet
[00:03] <sienap> aah
[00:03] <hadess> sienap: i hope to have cds showing up in the gui when you insert them in the drive (with titles and such) for guadec
[00:04] <sienap> he sounds great :)
[00:04] <zaheer> hadess: what prog you writing for that?
[00:04] <sienap> and the dvd player
[00:04] <sienap> when do you start on that :)
[00:04] <hadess> when i have a dvd drive =)
[00:05] <sienap> hahaha=]
[00:05] <hadess> actually, when libmpeg2 will work better on my computer
[00:05] <sienap> great
[00:06] <wtay-sleeping> zaheer: like libxslt?
[00:06] <zaheer> wtay-sleeping: im downloading it, but it looks like exactly what i need....i hate having to run java programs to do simple things like transform xml docs :)
[00:07] <wtay-sleeping> zaheer: yup
[00:07] <zaheer> you run java blah, it takes 30 seconds to load when your c program would take less than 0 seconds :P
[00:07] Action: zaheer wonders if libxslt will handle the docbook stylesheets that norm walsh has done :)
[00:08] <zaheer> Xalan-C++ couldnt handle it :)
[00:08] <zaheer> but XT and Xalan-J 2.0 could
[00:09] <zaheer> wtay-sleeping: you know if the URL stuff is done for libxml validation and namespace lookups?
[00:11] <wtay-sleeping> zaheer: validation an namespaces work in libxml AFAIK
[00:11] <zaheer> ok cool
[00:11] Action: zaheer wonders how different libxml2 is to libxml
[00:12] <wtay-sleeping> http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/rview.cgi?cvsroot=/cvs/gnome&dir=libxslt/tests
[00:16] <zaheer> cool
[00:16] <zaheer> docbook stylesheets are the ones done by norm walsh :)
[00:17] <zaheer> so if its in the tests dir then it should work....
[00:17] <sienap>      damn
[00:17] <sienap> ate my self sick with drop..
[00:17] <sienap> ok which idiots dears to call at this time..
[00:18] <sienap> Wed Mar 28 00:27:04 CEST 2001
[00:18] <sienap> aah damn
[00:18] <sienap> he the phone went death anyway :)
[00:18] <sienap> just asking my self who will call at this time..
[00:18] <sienap> maybe it is something..
[00:18] <sienap> he however ;)
[00:19] matth (matth at qwest.dsplinux.net) joined #gstreamer.
[00:19] <sienap> matth!!!!!
[00:20] <matth> our dsl connection is crap.
[00:21] <zaheer> you guys dont have a real connection? :)
[00:21] Action: BBB wishes #gstreamer g'nite
[00:21] <zaheer> night BBB
[00:21] <matth> no, not yet... we will in a month.
[00:21] <sienap> nite
[00:21] Nick change: BBB -> BBB-zZz
[00:21] <hadess> BBBye
[00:21] <BBB-zZz> bye hadess :)
[00:21] <hadess> heh
[00:22] <sienap> i am off as well :)
[00:22] <sienap> going to sleep
[00:22] <zaheer> night sienap
[00:22] sienap (synap at ipc379c06d.dial.wxs.nl) left irc: bye
[00:50] omega (omega at qwest.dsplinux.net) joined #gstreamer.
[00:50] Nick change: omega -> omega_rr
[00:50] <zaheer> wb omega :)
[00:50] <omega_rr> yo
[00:51] <zaheer> bbb said he could help find a venue...he wants to know start time
[00:51] <omega_rr> I arrive at 8:35am, so probably 10 or later
[00:52] <zaheer> he wants it later than that i think coz of a party on fri night
[00:52] <omega_rr> hmm, ok <g>
[00:52] <omega_rr> say noon to N, start out getting lunch somewhere?
[00:53] <zaheer> i arrive 10:40am
[00:53] <zaheer> at Schippol
[00:54] <zaheer> yah lunch would be a good start
[00:54] <zaheer> we have 5 ppl from what i can tell
[00:55] <zaheer> which is manageable :)
[00:57] Action: zaheer is lagged...apt-getting helix gnome
[00:57] <zaheer> Uraeus was looking for you...
[00:58] <greg_> does the mailing list manager at sourceforge allow emails from not subscribers ? I mean gstreamer-devel@ ?
[00:59] <zaheer> by default AFAIK sourforge's list manager forwards to specified moderator
[00:59] <zaheer> i dunno the case for gst-devel
[01:00] <greg_> omega wanted specs about translation texts that are displayed while playing video. Just sent them to the list addr.
[01:01] <zaheer> yah i received that
[01:01] <greg_> zaaheer: nice ;) hope it helps
[01:01] <zaheer> having foreign language subtitles is nice
[01:02] Action: zaheer wonders if it should be unicode encoded
[01:02] <greg_> zaheer: "subtitles" is the word missing in my email ;))
[01:02] <greg_> zaheer: forgot to mention: translation table should be able to use. For example in my language
[01:03] <greg_> (Polish) iso2 font is used, but thanks to Bill G. most of translations is in sth called CP1250 - which
[01:03] <zaheer> youre from poland?
[01:03] <greg_> is "Polish" codepage in Windows.
[01:03] hadess (hadess at pc123-gui14.cable.ntl.com) left irc: mooooh!
[01:03] <greg_> zaheer: yes i do.
[01:03] <zaheer> what about Arabs
[01:04] <zaheer> their language is Arabic and not only that its right to left with very interesting rules for joining up letters
[01:04] <zaheer> Chinese and Japanese use completely different character sets also
[01:05] <greg_> zaheer: I am afraid You have to ask them. I am sure there is gonna be one from any language.
[01:05] <zaheer> thats why I believe that sould be in Unicode....
[01:05] <greg_> zaheer: NO it SHOULDNT !
[01:05] <zaheer> GstMediaPlay should therefore use Pango (eventually) to display subtitles
[01:05] <zaheer> greg_: why not?
[01:06] <greg_> zaheer: At least as long as you dont provide conversion tool to convert existing translations to unicode. But then why do this ?
[01:07] <zaheer> you should be fine by specifying it as UTF-8
[01:07] <zaheer> ie no conversion
[01:08] <greg_> zaheer: not sure what you call UTF-8, as for me in Poland I use two standars: CP1250 (ALL translation text use it) and iso2 - I use it under linux. That is how it looks.
[01:09] <zaheer> yah UTF-8 should be fine for you
[01:09] <greg_> zaheer: probably You think more widely than me, but I just see it as a simple displaying text in specified iso-X
[01:10] <zaheer> although I am from England, I do have major cultural interests, e.g. Arabic, Gujarati, Swahili etc.
[01:10] <zaheer> thats why it'd be nice if done with Unicode
[01:10] <zaheer> but i believe this is only for gstmediaplay to be concerned with not the gstreamer framework
[01:12] <zaheer> however it is important
[01:12] <zaheer> and is a super feature
[01:13] <greg_> zaheer: WILL be a super feature ;) I hope. As for me there are 2 things missing in gst* project:
[01:14] <zaheer> only 2, thats good :)
[01:14] <greg_> 1) feature we just discussed 2) support for *.asf and other fuc*@# M$ formats. That's all. Oh - maybe integration with GNOME/KDE and other desktops would be nice.
[01:15] <zaheer> oh yes
[01:15] <zaheer> i would like support for the MS audio and video formats using WINELIB
[01:15] <greg_> zaheer: let me say it: what do I use windows for ? To play video files with translation (99% are avi, asf )
[01:16] <zaheer> avi files work...
[01:16] <greg_> zaheer: yeah - someone id it - aviplay has some asf support, and avi.
[01:17] <greg_> zaheer: yes I know, but not every single file yet. 50% of what I have.

[01:17] <zaheer> does windows media player allow you to have translation?
[01:17] <greg_> no media player doesn't but do as I said - look for VPlayer. It is a work of Polish programmer, I think You
[01:18] <greg_> goona find it easily.
[01:18] <zaheer> ok, interesting
[01:19] <greg_> Next one such player is MDVDP (Micro DVD Player)
[01:20] <greg_> but it requires media player to work, so I think it uses it for video.
[01:21] <greg_> Probably VPlayer is "only" user interface plus some features as those "translation text" (ahh - subtitles !)
[01:25] <zaheer> :)
[01:26] Action: zaheer wonders how ppl write these subtitles
[01:26] <zaheer> must take ages :)
[01:26] <zaheer> imagine doing them for DVDs :)
[01:26] <greg_> zaheer: Both of programs I mentioned can be used to edit them. Easily !
[01:26] <zaheer> you know someone should put a repository of subtitles up
[01:27] <zaheer> for DVDs
[01:27] <zaheer> most DVDs only come with one or two language subtitles
[01:27] <zaheer> and normally french/spanish
[01:27] <greg_> sorry. My friend probably misunderstood me. They not neseserly can to it. But I know there are such extra programs - helpers.
[01:28] <greg_> zaaher: Sometimes it happens I've got one *.avi and 2 or 3 translations done by separate persons ;) And they differ !
[01:29] <zaheer> imagine Gnome offering DVD playing with subtitles for any language of your choice :)
[01:29] <greg_> zaheer: I am talking about separate text files with translations all the time.
[01:29] <zaheer> yah
[01:29] <zaheer> i know
[01:29] <zaheer> what if they were accessible from the web...
[01:30] <greg_> zaheer: ;) I mentioned what I am draming about just few lines before. Translations are no problem for me.
[01:30] <zaheer> so gstmediaplay would play your dvd while retrieving necessary subtitles from the web and displaying them
[01:30] <zaheer> dont you think that would be cool :)
[01:30] <greg_> zaheer: I waited you to finish, just to tell you: VERY COOL !!! ;))
[01:31] <zaheer> so an Arab wanting to watch the matrix, sticks it into his DVD player, gstmediaplay pops up, finds the translation and plays it to him with subtitles :)
[01:32] <greg_> zaheer: It is real to be done. Such translations can be done by volonteers with minimal effort.
[01:32] <zaheer> yah
[01:32] <zaheer> it is a super idea
[01:33] <zaheer> internationalisation is such an important concept
[01:33] <zaheer> i think MS got it totally wrong with Windows to have seperate versions of Windows for different languages
[01:34] <zaheer> why have Arabic Windows seperate to English/Western Language Windows
[01:34] <greg_> zaheer: put it on "todo" list. Now focus on those 2 / 3 things I mentioned if you can ;))
[01:34] <zaheer> hehe unfortunately i am not familiar with video, i only work with audio
[01:35] <zaheer> and not with desktop apps
[01:35] <zaheer> however a few of the other developers here would definitely work on the subtitles
[01:35] <zaheer> the others i believe are bing worked on
[01:35] <zaheer> bing=being
[01:37] <greg_> nice. I am programmer, but no connections with any audio/video. Mostly databases and GUI. some PHP. Imagine today I am writing... ini-files parser ;))
[01:37] <zaheer> the ini files you work with, are they xml?
[01:38] <greg_> zaheer: Are seriously asking? Never seen M$ Windows *.INI files inside ???
[01:39] <zaheer> oh windows .ini files :)
[01:39] <zaheer> [blah]
[01:39] <zaheer> rubbish=ilikeyou.vxd
[01:39] <zaheer> etc.
[01:40] <zaheer> CommonC++ library has a parser for those kinds of files
[01:40] <greg_> yes :(( only because people want to have same ini files for UNIX and win. It must be in C, and support both CR/LF and LF-only files. ;)
[01:40] <greg_> It is for database system.
[01:41] <greg_> dual-environment UNIX/Win one
[01:41] <greg_> what do You do ?
[01:41] <zaheer> i do 2 things
[01:42] <zaheer> 1) I am a PHD student at University College London, doing software engineering of fluid dynamics simulations
[01:43] <zaheer> 2) I am at Bell Worldwide doing telelphony middleware and frameworks as well as deploying of telephony applications
[01:44] <zaheer> for 2) look at http://www.bellworldwide.net/previking/ for the middleware app we develop
[01:44] <zaheer> for 1) i dont have a web page up
[01:45] <zaheer> for 2) I am developing OpenTeleMedia which is a media server that uses GStreamer
[01:45] <zaheer> hence my involvement in GStreamer
[01:46] <greg_> zaheer: In one year I hope to start PHD studies. I work for http://www.macrosoft.pl/ (but polish only ;( )
[01:46] <greg_> and employ some students in own firm :)
[01:47] <zaheer> cool, what do you want to do a PHD in?
[01:47] <zaheer> and where?
[01:48] <greg_> I think here - in Poland (Wroclaw) http://www.pwr.wroc.pl/ (click for english!)
[01:49] <greg_> not sure about topic, but I am doing Information Studies. Gonna go this way.
[01:49] <zaheer> in Warsaw?
[01:49] <greg_> No. Warsaw is the biggest one city in Poland. Wroclaw is the second one. ;) You're good !
[01:50] <zaheer> how expensive is telephone calls in Poland?
[01:50] <zaheer> international telephone calls
[01:51] <greg_> looking for some job during summer break for a mont or two - don't you need a programmer ?
[01:51] <greg_> Very expensive: 1.1$ per minute I think + standard cell phone minute cost.
[01:51] <zaheer> if you want to come to London, we may have opportunities...but would you require a work permit (I do not know if Poland is in EU)
[01:52] <zaheer> thats what I thought...
[01:52] <greg_> Poland is not in UE. But I heard work permit is not a problem ? How is it ?
[01:54] <greg_> Local cell phone calls are (for me): 0.45$ 08-18h , 0.2$ 18-23h, and 0.05$ after 23h.
[01:57] <zaheer> im going to bed now....
[01:57] <zaheer> already past 1am
[01:57] Action: zaheer got his xslt working :)
