something simple just to play mkv 1080p + DTS with .srt subtitles.
do u think this is possible? if so, why no one did it allready? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
thank you
i don't ask for XBMC yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) cuz i know it's gonna be a long way till we get some beta.
but something just to play media?
you pro's work hard in other stuff, is a media player much harder?

I agree with this, but we also need a way to access files on hdd1.
Like me, I don't like having a usb something attached to my xbox. I like it all from it's own HDD.
It looses esthetics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

i used to have hd video from xbox live on my 360 hd, but unfortunatly i deleted the file so i have not been able to conduct an analysis of how the 360 dealt with HD video files... but i have a feeling that they were also on a proprietary container and format... i think we all want to avoid having to modify the files before transferring them to 360...
the solution is clearly a new media player built from scratch or a port... maybe port mplayer or vlc media player.... i have been looking into it, but im really starting from zero so i get discouraged thinking someone will release something soon and i will have worked for nothing... but i may still get into it just to learn....
the 360 audio player also is TERRIBLE!!! i have been wondering why ms made such a terrible player... every button is so huge, playlist and song management is terrible... so we really would need something new... codecs really wont do...

News about the libavcodec?
I am looking into compiling it.
Most of the issues can be resolved by creating replacements for some missing headers.
One big problem right now is C99 designated initializers.
There exists 100+ of these types of struct initializers:
------------C99 type -----------
AVCodec eightsvx_exp_decoder = {
.name = "8svx_exp",
.type = CODEC_TYPE_AUDIO,
.id = CODEC_ID_8SVX_EXP,
.priv_data_size = sizeof (EightSvxContext),
.init = eightsvx_decode_init,
.decode = eightsvx_decode_frame,
.long_name = NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL("8SVX exponential"),
};
-----------------------
And vc2005 doesn't support this, I probably have to create a script that converts all of these initializers to standard C89 style.
Info on msdn about this issue:
http://social.msdn.m...0-2614b333e9e0/
Does someone have any other solution to this issue in mind? Manually patching >>100 .c files is not an option in my mind..
This guy has done it for windows, but he is using the intel compiler that is more c99 friendly
See http://www.arawix.co.....-VS2005).aspx

I have made a script that fixes about 50% of the C99 reliability..
from a cygwin env do a:
$ ./configure --disable-asm --disable-ffplay --disable-decoders --disable-filters --disable-encoders -
-disable-hwaccels --disable-muxers --disable-demuxers --disable-parsers --disable-bsfs --arch=ppc64 --d
isable-altivec --enable-w32threads --enable-decoder=h264 --enable-demuxer=matroska --enable-demuxer=h264 --enable-demuxer=avi --enable-decoder=mpeg4 --enable-parser=h264 --enable-parser=mpeg4video --disable-outdevs --disable-indevs --disable-devices > configure_log
This will create a config.h that has only the things I really need enabled. (No sound yet but that is a later problem)
patch Makefile under libavcodec with:
showme:
echo $(OBJS:.o=.c)
This will dump out all the c files that are needed.
Remove the rest from the dir, and add the remaining c files in the IDE
Add all headers under libavcodec and libavutils to your proj (in separate dirs)
Change the projects settings and add ";HAVE_AV_CONFIG_H;_POS_SOURCE" Under "Preprocessor definitions"
Add "." to additional include directories
Hit "compile solution"
Now I ends up with 82errors and 250warnings. These are C99 extensions that the STUPID microsoft compiler don't like..
Anyone willing to pitch in? send me a pm and I send you the files I got at the moment.

Sure, Mplayer can be compiled to ppc64 with gcc with minimum effort.
But you can not create xex with gcc. You need the microsoft compiler which don't implement C99.
And sure, you could patch away all C99 specifics manually (a couple of hundred patches at least) but then you will be stuck in that exakt version of mplayer/libavcodec or whatever.
My initial thought was to simply just "compile libavcodec with VS2005", but it turned out to be something different.
BTW, libavcodec is a big part of mplayer.
So right now I am thinking of either making a script that fixes most of the C99 stuff ( With some help, thanks
).Or some compile "magic", compile libavcodec with llvm-gcc, and then use the "c-backend" of llvm and output generic c-code that VS2005 should understand
Or a different trick, compile libavcodec with gcc for powerpc64 and just load it into memory from a xex compiled with vs2005. This will require some "glue" code to be able to call functions between VS2005 compiled code and gcc. I have not researched anything on the details about this, specifically the calling conventions for functions might be a problem.

i think i mght be able to assist. Unlike the rest of these slackjawed gawkers with their hands out, I have years of coding experience, and am willing to roll up my sleeves and do some work to contribute to scene. Let me know some specifics of what needs to get done, and I can do my best to help out.
I have heard rumor there is a patch out that will get the sdk working with vs2008, I'll see if I can track it down. If we can get that, it should make our lives a little easier. In the mean time, let's figure out a definitive direction to work. It's nice to have options, but it is best to focus.
rant
To the 2 pages of people asking why this isn't out yet, and when is it being released, or how the progress is: Pick up a fuckin book and learn how to contribute. Asking when something will be released is not helping the scene. Learning how to code will. I acknowledge I have not released anything, but I am at least trying. I started coding when the xbox1 first got hacked, because i wanted to contribute. Put down the controllers and pick up coding book. /rant

Not only that...there is a huge leap from raw C++ to event driven programming...and once you grok that, you have to figure out Microsoft's whole framework and the way they use macros all over the place to create code behind the scenes... That being said, there are enough working tutorials out there to assist greatly.
Then, there's the details like direct 3d, and XUI. Are we having fun yet? Yes? Now go learn about multi-threading! ;-)

While there right to an extent that a HTPC would be of same cost to build outright and probably better suited, the software would definatly be a boon to the scene since so much hardware is already in place. But there priorities lye elsewhere now it seems.

It's not smugness, its just a simple question of worth.
This 360 hack is available to a VERY small number of users. The resources required to get it working on 360 would be far more than it would be worth for the team.

It's hardly smugness. It's called being a realist. Porting it to xbox 360 would take 100's of man hours, potentially 1000's, just to even get it running with a reduced feature set. XBMC has come a long way since they decided to make linux their main development platform. The codebase and feature set is massive, why would they essentially want to take a step backward to support a platform that only a small fraction of 360 owners can use?
I wouldn't want them wasting their time on developing it, a HTPC does the job far better, is quieter and has no chance of having irreparable hardware failure. Especially when you consider the 360 already has support for most basic formats.
The code is GPL'ed, anyone who wishes to port it, can. I personally wouldn't use XBMC if it were on the 360 anyway, the xbox was a great media device for the time but now you can get network capable media devices capable of full 1080p for around USD$100.

Ability to add a HDTV Usb receiver stick. (with support of softcams emulation recording etc)
just imagine: the 360 able playing blurays and hdtv (given the cost of the drive and stick you would get the ultimate media machine for 400 bucks. less even when the drives and sticks get cheaper)
if you then take into consideration what natal might be able to do... you enter the room natal recognizes your face and mood and starts playing music accordingly then later that day natal sees you and turn on the tv chan of your favorite show that runs that night.
I know it's hard I know it's a lot of work but the result would be awesome.

The status so far:
I have libavcodec "crosscompiled" with llvm-gcc and llvm to C89 compilant C files, that compiles just fine on the SDK together with some simple test code that loads a videofile and tries to decode the first 5 frames.
I have not even tried to run it cause it will probably only end in a black screen and I will spend forewer inserting log events to figure out where the problem is.
So I did the same for X86, crosscompiled to a C-file that VS2005 for windows understands.
So now I have libavcodec for windows and the same simple test program, but I get some access voilation when opening the file. This error should probably not be to hard to track down but I have not put any affort on it yet.
And then when it is running in windows the next step is to switch back to the XBOX.
The windows files is developed with a legal VS2005 copy, so I could distribute it freely if anyone is interested.

Right now, it can't even play the first 5 frames of a video.
Maybe someone should setup a sourceforge project (if joohan wants that), so anybody who wants to contribute can actually contribute

Having worked on community projects before, its the type of posts that you make, trying to rush the progress of a project that push many developers away from a project. It's quite frustrating as a developer having over-zealous forum members without any knowledge of the concepts and challenges faced in a project making demands or being pushy trying to get more functionality out of the project.
The reality is, these guys do this in their own time, they don't get paid for it, and they'll handle their project however they want to. I'm sure joohan, or any other developer won't want you dictating how the project is run or what direction it should go.
I've lost count of how many times I got sick of answering ridiculous questions, answering the same support questions over and over because people were too lazy to lookup information 2 pages in a thread earlier etc. It really makes people question why they waste their time on a project, or at least bother to make it public.
Post by: dinzy on February 13, 2010, 11:55:00 AM
I honestly think many people are just assuming an XBMC or something like it will eventually appear on the 360 and that is why there appears to be little interest in it.

Playing games is still enough, and the combination of the two is still cheaper than an appropriate PC... So the fact that you don't really care about having a media player on your 360 implies that anyone who wants one is somehow wrong? The system is more than capable of playing videos and is already marketed as a (crippled) media center and netflix streamer, so clearly it is not too much for it.
I really don't understand why people who have no desire for something, or simply dislike it, feel the need to chime in against it. Many people want a fully functioning media player on their jtagged 360 and sooner or later there will be one.

That being said XBMC's source code is freely available if you wanted to port it yourself. Now those with coding skills have look at it already and come to the decision that it would be far simpler to try and get MPlayer ported, and work from there.
Given that Mplayer was the core of XBMC (certainly was in the early days at least) porting that is still the first logical step even if you were porting XBMC. XBMC's decision is the right one for them, it may not be the right one for people like us who want a decent media player out of the 360 but well thats why those who can are working on other options. More power to them if you ask me.

Heard that they existed, but didn't know for sure until now.. some very exciting information here. And yes, some people need to relax a little bit and just appreciate the fact that there are people with the knowledge and energy to develop such a project. With that said, thank you to anyone, everyone who is working on this.I would love to contribute to the coding, and would love to learn to where I could contribute. But by the time that happens this project will probably be complete :/
With that said I am willing to donate a jtagged console or two or three to qualified individuals that are capable of moving this project forward at a significant pace. Of course they must not own one to begin with.

I'm getting so tired of reading the word 'port'. For one thing it isn't that easy! Especially stuff like Mplayer, something totally designed for compiling with GCC, not MSVC (Microsoft's official SDK of course uses `cl`, cross-compiles to PowerPC 64-bit, etc). Microsoft support for C (especially newer standards like C99) has been horribly lacking. And that is what most of the code base of mplayer is in. They have compiled mplayer on Windows. You might wonder how. MinGW of course, the native GCC port to Windows (from a UNIX/UNIX-like environment, such as Linux).
The main stumbling points to porting over Mplayer are just that it has a lot of code that may need to be revised to a) compile 100% successfully and optimised for 360 on MSVC and
run 100% correctly on a 360 console. Someone with a development console is better off doing this work because of the amount of time it would take. The good news is that Mplayer's DX9 back-end (which can use hardware shaders, like MS wants) is 100% working. It might just work on the 360.Once all of Mplayer is ported, there's a whole new GUI to make. Obviously you're not going to be typing `mplayer myvideo.mkv` on the 360 (as much as I would like a console and keyboard support on the 360; but it's not a multitasking system).
Good luck to anyone who makes such an endeavour.
The main thing I'd like to see as a start in terms of homebrew multimedia is a good MP3 streamer (Ogg, WMA, etc support as well). Picks up a Samba/Windows share and reads MP3s (reads ID3v2, APE tags correctly!), and then plays. Jukebox, shuffle, all that, skins, etc. A solid (FOSS, but of course no real sharing till a free SDK is available) library for reading MP3 data and passing it to XAudio2 would be great for all developers.
Post by: Tatsh on September 19, 2010, 12:08:00 PM
The thing we lose, playing 360 games within the Linux environment, which maybe can be solved is how to run the 360 games within an environment (although it might be slow). Wine runs Windows within Linux largely because it only works if the EXE is compiled for x86 (99%) and you run Linux on x86. It does not work on other architectures unless the EXE is compiled for that architecture.
One of my proofs of concept I've been working on is if you can do binary translation of PPC64 from an Xbox 360 XEX to x86 (or x86-64 might be better due to data types and memory), then maybe you can get sufficient support for running Xbox 360 games with a PC with something very similar to Wine except that Wine will need a PPC64->x86 translator, QEMU could be used for translation. I'm not trying to build a complete Xbox 360 PC emulator, just want to prove it can be done. I hate people who won't go out and at least buy the console and a few games and instead just go with emulation, expecting games to work 100%. (This was the situation over 10 years ago with the release of UltraHLE; somehow I think the developers had a deal with 3dfx to sell more cards.)

i read on xboxhacker thats someone wants to build a new live cd with the latest linux patches (working sound and more) but it kind of went quite silent...
Still hope there will be a linux updatem, atleast 2D acceleration...
im more intrested in linux than the most XDK stuff being released until today, it just opens so many possibilities
Sound would be great. The reason why the projects for Linux go stale are because of lack of time and lack of interest. Look at the interest in XDK stuff (stuff that runs within the Xbox 360 'OS' system) vs interest in getting an OS like Linux to run. It is IMO why Sony killed OtherOS from PS3 entirely besides the fact that it was being used to make dumps of games (unusable ones as we know now). Who knew? `dd if=/bluraydrive of=somegame.iso` (fixed later in firmware update). Such a great find and even I, a long-time user of Linux, probably wouldn't have thought of that for a bit.
The place that shall not be named has a GPU demo that runs on Linux and makes use of the graphics hardware. You should check it out. It is also all OpenGL so clearly some part of Mesa (or something similar) has been ported to 360 a little bit. It will be a while before a full port could be completed. However, since ATI opened the specifications of their hardware, it could be possible to make a free driver for the chip that's in the 360, which would be cool. Maybe even the current FOSS driver can load something and give 2D acceleration if not some support for 3D. GLSL is still not in there for many cards, so no shaders.
I'm also very happy the choice of distro for the start is Gentoo, and that's what I use anyway.
