CPU usage...

Post by heinbloed »

Hi,

I have quite an old PC, an Athlon XP-M 2500. It seems that this is just too slow for live encoding AVC, the CPU goes to 100% and then the transmission gets interrupted. (When streaming just a black image it's already at 30% CPU usage, when streaming slowly changing video it goes to 80%-90%, and there'a a huge delay of maybe 5-10 seconds.)
Is this just normal for the live server, or should it think of reinstalling the PC?

My PSP is running DarkAlex firmware 3.03 OE-C, Wifi with WPA-PSK (AES), with PMPVLC009_OE_Rev4-test-binaries. The PC is using the following settings for vlc (vlc-0.8.6a-psp-x264-wait-win32):

Code: Select all

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=600,width=480,height=272,fps=25,
acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,
url=192.168.0.1:1234}}
(added line breaks for better readability)


@fuerio/JockyW:
Password protection did work for me (with live steaming, use_avc_hw=1):
You might protect the stream with replacing

Code: Select all

access=http,
with

Code: Select all

access=http{user=test,pwd=test},
and edit the pmp.ini, replacing

Code: Select all

liveserver      = 192.168.0.1
with

Code: Select all

liveserver	= test:test@192.168.0.1;
Otherwise you'll see "http://192.168.0.1:1234/: Unknown format", "Press
[CROSS] to exit" on your PSP.
Adding user=test and pwd=test to pmp.ini will not work.

Code: Select all

Don't forget to replace 192.168.0.1 with your (appropriate) IP-Address.
Replace test:test with username:password
It's a great tool, and I might consider getting a faster pc...

Thx for the feedback!

My PC is an AMD XP2400 with 768MB RAM and I'm also at about 90-100%. However, streamquality is still excellent and I can even do something else on the PC.

I noticed Intel CPUs are not so resource hungry with AVC. They're bewtween 40-60% load.

OK dev peeps, Ive got an error that ive not seen in all 18 pages.

Took me quite a while to get here, so it's possible (IE likely) that it is something I have done.

I have 3.40 OE , PMPVLC009_OE_Rev4-test-binaries, vlc-0.8.6a-psp-x264-wait-win32, and have also tried with
vlc-0.8.5-psp-x264-win32.

I have the binaries within GAME340, kernel mode 3.40.
my WLAN is WPA-TKIP

The PSP Internet browser works, and when it inits the only configured connection I CAN ping teh IP of the PSP(192.168.2.3) from the PC running vlc(192.168.1.3).

When i launch PMPVLC, I hit R, get connects through to stage 6of4, and I get Network ON, ip shown on the left - the same one i could ping when connected thru the XMB. Th wifi light also blinks then stays on while it connects - looks valid. BUT I can NOT ping the PSP's IP from the PC.

The only thing I think it might be is subnetting ?

routing with other apps works fine - I have a router on 192.168.1.1, also listening on 192.168.2.1, so it is the default gateway for both the PSP and PC networks.

Thanks in advance for any advice...really want this app to work, looks amazing.

That's all the same here, differences: 3.03 OE-C, Wifi with WPA-PSK (AES)
and I can ping my PSP.

I would think that the coders of the "IP stack"(or "just" the communication to the build-in IP stack to make it available to work for homebrew) introduced state 6of4 in an early version supporting encryption. PMPStreamer 0.90 displays 2of6, 4of6 and 6of6. Earlier versions of PSPRadio also displyed 6of4 with encryption enabled.

Since I can ping my PSP, there's sth. wrong with your setup or the IP stack used.
Do you use DHCP?
Yes->The encrypted connection does work, since you receive an IP address. Strange, ping and everything should work.
No->The encrypted connection does not work, since you cannot ping your PSP.
I would think that you don't use DHCP, and that there is a issue with the IP stack used in this version.

Basically I have no idea if anybody ever used this setup or if it works at all...PSPRadio and PMPStreamer use different IP stack version that might work with firmware 3.40. Maybe you could have a test without encryption, and then another with WEP only, just to see if there's a general issue or if it's just that encryption scheme?
And you edited the config file to use connection one, right (I don't know what the program does if the configuration is wrong)?

Regarding subnetting:
Just tell us the used subnet masks, and if the PC is wired or wireless.
However, since your browser works everything should be fine.

Thanx for the response....

OK, no DHCP, I have edited ini and tested that con 1 is my only configured link. (I get a WIFIHinit error in PMPVLC if I set the con to anything other than 1)


IP of PSP
192.168.2.3
255.255.255.240

IP of wireless PC
192.168.2.4
255.255.255.240

IP of access point
192.168.2.2
255.255.255.240

IP of router
192.168.2.1
255.255.255.240
and
192.168.1.1
255.255.255.240

IP of PC running vlc
192.168.1.3
255.255.255.240

all the gateways are set to
192.168.x.1

the wireless PC and the PSP XMB can browse the web through the router, and I can ping ithem both from LAN PC - I can also use the XMB+PC browsers to access ports 8080 and 1234 on the LAN PC, where VLC responds.

Not got time atm to test - am off to the Isle of Mull for a week's holiday

w00t
altho it will prob pi55 down with rain the whole time, so im taking GTA LCS, hot PXL, and a need for speed game, as i can get them all to fit on a 2 gig stick. Am without laptop atm :(

will do further testing when I get back, bit tricky to do as the AP has only one ethernet connection, and my router is a firebox - so I have my wireless in the DMZ, with specific rules to allow traffic between the secure WLAN, the LAN, and the untrusted Internet (naughty internet, naughty) lol

hmmm saying that, I could put the VLC server on the wireless PC, then there would be no need for subnet malarkey..

OK will let you know how it goes, and thanks to heinbloed, Jocky, and the rest of the great minds in this thread..

cheers

Count them. The first one is number "1" (and not "0") counting from top to bottom.

When streaming through internet, I discover lags and stutter. Is there some memory in the PSP free that can be used for caching purpose? Something like

vlc --http-caching=8192

I compared a W-Lan connected notebook running VLC 0.8.5 with the PSP running PMPVLC0009test4. Or is there a switch already in pmp.ini that can be used?

@thecmac: It´s all right, but if there is a firewall or filter on your router it might be a problem. Couldn't you run vlc on your wireless pc? It will eliminate any possible risk.

"use_avc_hw=1" AND "h264+mp4a+mp4 container&q

Post by happycoding »

The pmp.ini mentiones that:
------
# use_avc_hw is heavily experimental !!
# if set to 1 then automatically vid_codec = h264, aud_codec = mp3, and container = ts are set
# your pmp.ini settings are then superseded
use_avc_hw = 1;
-------

Is it possible to set "use_avc_hw=1" to play a .mp4 file(avc+aac) in memory stick? I tried and the corrent PMP VLC 009 prompted an error message "AVC error: sceMpegAvcDecode failed".

Thanks!

which directory? Sorry, but I wasn't sure if you meant the directory on the PSP memory stick, or the directory that I have my music and videos in. If you are talking about the music or videos, then I don't think that is the problem because I haven't even edited the ini file yet, so the defaults are still there. And I actually did try to shorten the names of the folders that the program goes in, but it didn't do anything. :\

I just tried deleting the ini file to make sure it had nothing to do with the directories and it seams it doesn't. I'm not sure what could be going on, the other ones up to rev 2 always started with out a problem.
I have exactly the same issue. I mean I am using firmware 1.5 and rev2 works but rev4 does not work. And there are two icons and the error message is "The game could not be started (80020001)". I also renamed the direcotory from "\PSP\Game\PMPVLC009_JockyW" to "PSP\Game\P" but it could not resolve the issue.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Where can I get the "PMPVLC009Rev2-source.zip"?

Post by happycoding »

Where can I get the "PMPVLC009Rev2-source.zip"? I want to get it because Rev4 does not work for my psp 1.5 while Rev2 work well. So I want to diff the source code between Ret2 and Ret4 and try to fix it.

Not in the very near future, unless I solve some problems which were introduced since 3.40oe

I'm currently focused to get mp3/aac decoding to work with dsp and I want to add protocol support for rtsp and multicast (igmp)

And on 3.10 OE ? DickyDick1969 has the same problems you have with his pimpstreamer on 3.40OE, but on 3.10 OE it works.

It might be a temporary solution..., thanks !

I check the code and find that it uses libcurl. (PMPVLC009-rev2\ffplay_resample\Makefile Line 29 uses "-lcurl")
But the PSPSDK does not include libcurl. How to build libcurl for PSP? I know I can not "tar -xzf curl-7.16.4.tar.gz" and "./configure; make install" because it will compile x86 libcurl, not PSP libcurl.

Any comments?

Can someone provide me a ./configure options for vlc, which should be used to compile it successfully.
I would like to pick up on this one.

Anyone successfully compiled VLC with AVC support for linux?

I know about ./configure --with-x264--tree to include pictiming patch, but doubt VLC will call x264 shared library with the correct "--pictiming" parameter. What else needs to be done?

You could change your pmp.ini to
container = ts;
(The config file says that with "use_avc_hw = 1;" it would be ts anyway, however I didn't try that.

Change you vlc settings:
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=600,width=480,height=272,fps=25,

I suggested the same here:

But did not get an answer yet.

. Is PMPVLC already facilitating some kind of cache? If yes, which size?
. How much memory is still free while playing?
. The underlying VLC Code base implements already a caching algorithm (see link above).

Hola!

Honestly I haven't been following this forum or touched any VLC scripting in a long long while.

Likely the problem is transcoding related on the PC. You might want to try switching to DIVX encode going to the PSP instead of the AVC encode. This will make the PSP work harder for a less gorgeous output but I find that VLC transcodes to DIVX easier than it does to AVC.

Any of the options in the VLC decoders and encoders that might reduce transcode overhead would be over my head. Someone with a better knowledge of codec optimization would need to chime in.

I would play around with two VLC instances (ideally across a wireless) to see what stream settings are reasonable with source transcodes and rule out bandwidth or resource issues on the PSP as culprit.

Hello, first of all I've to say:

@jockyw2001 and mojojojo: Great job :)

This app looks great, my problem is I have a Mac so I haven't been able to test it yet, and I was wondering if someone could port (cross-compile) it to Mac...


Thanks

and cheers for this awesome work
