PMP VLC 0.0.9 Player

[aface]

Hi Jocky,
Thanks for another great release. Any chance you could post the source code for those of us who like to mod?

Thanks
Alex

[Alcahest]

-Fantastic release-

Very nice work Jocky, it really seem a lot more stable too; thanks a lot!
See you,

Alcahest

Wow, the new release sounds great, Thx Jocky!
Only problem is, the file seems to be down :(. Will try later again this day cant wait to try out.
Although i would like to make an guide at maxconsole on how to set up VLC step by step as many still seem to have problems. But first i wanted to ask you for approval if that is allright with you? I would credit you as much as i can :)

Edit: Tried a few minutes later, and was able to download the file!

[Ody nOOb]

File down for me as well :(

Could someone re-host the file please ?

TIA

/ Update

d/l worked at last

Here's a much improved VLC server script done by Mojojojo which allows for traversing subdirectories and offers more sophisticated playlists (e.g. shoutcast, sap discovery). This is alpha4 so you can expect improvements and additional functionality. Post your feedback in this thread please.

Kudos to Mojojo :)

Enjoy,

"World" "Hello" print

Some things I forgot to correct in the instructions JW has ...

1. All of the pmp.ini lines need to end with ";" (edited below)

2. Don't use trailing slashes at the end of directory names.

ex.

videopath1 = pl:x:\myvideos\; <-- VLC doesn't like it and will likely crash

vs.

videopath1 = pl:x:\myvideos; <-- VLC happier now

Also ... For folks with tuner cards ...

sneeze wrote a post showing how to create m3u files that allow tuning of DirectShow compatible tuner cards ... http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?p=46409#46409 ... (Passing VLC options works? awesome!)

If you follow that post and create a x:\tv.m3u file ... it *should* work just fine.

ex.

videopath1 = pl:x:\tv.m3u;
...
videopath4 = vlc_playlist;

With sneezes example there should be 2 entries showing up in the PSP playlist ... "TV1" and "TV2"

I don't have a tuner card to test ... so others please try and report your luck.

enjoy!

Readme

Code: Select all

Install 

1. Requires PMPVLC0.0.9 and VLC installed (and working)
2. In the directory where VLC is installed ... there is an http directory. Make a backup copy of that directory, but don't delete it or rename it. You'll need things that are in it.
3. Drag the mojo http directory over ... say yes when it asks to replace some files

Usage in the pmp.ini file

- basic videopath and musicpath entries can now recurse directories 
	Note: 
		there is a 55 char limit in the playlist entry display. Use the "pl:" option with the "vlc_playlist" options explained below to show entries without the directory paths 
		
- "sd&#58;<service_discovery_type>" &#58; shoutcast, shoutcasttv, podcast, and sap are the options currently supported in VLC. Requires using "vlc_playlist" to show the VLC playlist

	ex. 
		videopath1 = sd&#58;shouttcasttv;
		...
		videopath4 = vlc_playlist;

- "pl&#58;<playlist_item>' &#58; support of a playlist file &#40;or just a directory&#41; in the videopath or musicpath. Directory trees are recursed. Requires using "vlc_playlist" to show the VLC playlist
	
	ex.
		musicpath1 = pl&#58;x&#58;\music\myplaylist.m3u;
		musicpath2 = pl&#58;x&#58;\longdirname\evenlongerdirectoryname;
		...
		musicpath4 = vlc_playlist;

	Note&#58; 
		the PSP playlist will not show the directory path or the playlist name, just the media objects themselves. If there are duplicate names of objects, the PSP will show duplicates

- "vlc_playlist" tag will show any item in the VLC playlist. Use after any "pl&#58;" or "sd&#58;" tags. You can also use on it's own to show any manually entered VLC playlist items. Example use could be to enter livestream channels for TV or some other source into the VLC playlist.

Notes

- The "old" version of the VLC web control will no longer be functioning. 

- Podcast URLs can be put in VLC under Settings->Playlist->Services discovery->Podcast. The format is "http&#58;//someurl|http&#58;//someotherurl|http&#58;//yetanotherurl". Not very elegant but functional

- If the PMPVLC playlist does not seem to be complete on the PSP ... just back out of the playlist display and re-select "video" or "music". VLC takes a while when it's processing directories.

Having some problems here with mojojojo enhancement.

First, here's my pmp.ini

videopath1 = pl:k:\psp\tv.m3u;
videopath2 = vlc_playlist;
videopath3 = ;
videopath4 = ;
videopath5 = ;

musicpath1 = pl:K:\My Media;
musicpath2 = vlc_playlist;
musicpath3 = ;
musicpath4 = ;
musicpath5 = ;

tv.m3u as sneeze recommends:

K:\My Media contains all my music in sub-folders

Now, neither video nor music shows anything but the files I have on my MS !

What am I doing wrong here ?!?

TIA and congrats for the nice release Jocky !

/Update

Looking at it close their seems to be an error message displayed on the psp, unfortunetly that message displays so quickly, I can't read it.

Are error messages loged somewhere ?
(Couldn't find any log file, allthough I have

debug = 1;

[Ody nOOb]

re-installed vlc and making some progress now, but still not working.

First time pmpvlc connects to vlc, vlc crashes.
If I then relaunch vlc, and continue I get following error:

Unable to open 'TV1 ...............................................__PLID__5'

I don't know where that __PLID__5 comes from ?!?

It's not in my .m3u

Here's the full vlc log if that helps:

[mojojojo]

Ody,

Thanks for helping to test ...

Let's start with the crashing and things not showing up ... Nothing else will work right if VLC crashes underneath you mid-session.

As a test ... instead of ...

Code: Select all

musicpath1	= pl:K:\My Media; 
musicpath2	= vlc_playlist; 

Try just ...

Code: Select all

musicpath1	= K:\My Media; 

The playlist inside of VLC on the PC get's touchy after a certain number of files. The second method above doesn't use VLC's playlist, just the PSP one. The downside is that you get file names and file paths on the PSP instead of just the media/content names. (old school pmp.ini)

If you get all of your music showing on your PSP that way ... try creating a small dir with few files and using the "pl:" tag to that dir ... if that's stable ... then that's the issue with the crashing for you ...

By the way ... there is no distinction on the PC between Music and Video playlists ... it's the same playlist being manipulated for both. Don't be surprised when you see video files in your "Music" playlist on the PSP if you use the "vlc_playlist" command. That is a "feature".

"vlc_playlist" is what tells the VLC PC to populate he PSP playlist with whatever it's got currently in it. The "pl:" and "sd:" tags only build the playlist, nothing goes back to the PSP in response.

You can even use "vlc_playlist" alone ... you just manipulate the VLC playlist via VLC itself and then PSP can grab it. (Try it out)

But I digress from the questions at hand ...

Next ... Video and the Tuner m3u file ...

For cleanliness ... Get rid of any other directories and such except for the m3u in question and the "vlc_playlist" entry. (Including the ones in Music ... they will kick the playlist.)

To answer your question ... "__PLID__" is special sauce added on to the PSP playlist entries ... the number at the end is VLC's playlist ID for that entry. (Thus you see the man behind the curtain)

The macro *should* have matched on the "__PLID__" tag and played item ID 5 that was in your playlist.

That error sounds like item ID 5 didn't exist and thus the macro defaulted to just playing it like a file. Should have seen "PSP Playing: TV1 ......." etc. in the playlist.

By chance did you not back out of the PSP playlist and go back after VLC crashed? If the VLC playlist entry is wiped out, but the PSP thinks it's there ... "Bob's your uncle" ... nothing to play.

Next time before trying to play an entry ... when you bring up the playlist on the PSP .. look at the playlist on PC in VLC ... and see how they compare.

Look in the details of the playlist entry for TV1 for example and see what's in it ...

Hopefull it will say more than just "dshow://" for the MRL / filename and will have all of the VLC options somehow concatenated on that line. (Instead of being in other magic fields ... ick...)

If it doesn't do that ... then my macro needs a change I didn't consider until now.

To be compatible between "old way" and "new way" ... I create new playlist entries as "PSP Playing: ..." even if an existing entry is there.

Let me know what you see ... thanks again ...

Ody,

The playlist inside of VLC on the PC get's touchy after a certain number of files.

Thanks a lot for helping fix these issues.

It's too late for me to start testing tonight (1 am here), but I will in the morning and will follow all your suggestions and give you feed back.

Just wanted to make a quick note as I have a LOT (~2'500) of files in that dir, so as you mention vlc getting "touchy after a certain number of files" I can imagine this is too much :p

I'll folllow your suggestion and test with just a couple of files.

See ya in the morning.

[mojojojo]

Alpha5 of the mojojojo mod is available

here

This version changes how playlist items are played so that it will be compatible with playlist items where VLC options are not specified in the playlist MRL. (Example being the sneeze TV tuner m3u file for DirectShow compatible TV cards)

Thought I don't have a tuner card ... I was able to make the m3u file, load it into VLC and the PSP is able to select and "play" it.

EDIT:

Soon after releasing this macro code version the "access point" I was using for my PSP blew it's hard-drive. My testing capabilities just went bye-bye ... :-(

[Ody nOOb]

Here are my first results (still with alpha4, didn't first notice you had released alpha5).

Removed everything but the reference to the tv.m3u in my pmp.ini

videopath1 = pl:k:\psp\tv.m3u;
videopath2 = vlc_playlist;
videopath3 = ;
videopath4 = ;
videopath5 = ;

musicpath1 = ;
musicpath2 = ;
musicpath3 = ;
musicpath4 = ;
musicpath5 = ;

--> when I select "video" in pmpvlc, vlc still crashes at first, but if I restart it and continue, reselect "video" in pmpvlc, I get

net:/TV1
net:/TV2

in my list.

Selecting them does work (it displays my current Dshow channel) but changing from one to the other doesn't change channels :(

Second time I enter the list (to select the second channel) I have a third entry in the list

net:/TV1
net:/TV2
net://PSP Playing: dshow://

Will test your alpha5 after breakfast :)

/Update

Same result

vlc issues a warning:

Unable to open 'dshow://'

yet it does stream the current channel ...

[jockyw2001]

Here is Rev4 for Dark Alex OE firmwares so should support WPA enabled WLAN ...

This test version currently only supports AVC hardware decoding, so your pmp.ini must have use_avc_hw = 1

binary: PMPVLC009_OE_Rev4-test-binaries.zip (Rev.4 for Dark Alex OE firmwares Kernel 3.x mode)
Your Download-Link: http://www.fx-world.org/download/jockyw ... naries.zip

Just unzip and copy the directory PMPVLC009_OE_JockyW to the GAME directory on your PSP

Enjoy,
JockyW

[Ody nOOb]

Now I get an error "Unknown format" on the psp

[blondin]

it work nice with 4:3 resolution ;)
nice done I am impatient to watch your sources for memodule etc. etc.

[mojojojo]

Here is Rev4 for Dark Alex OE firmwares so should support WPA enabled WLAN ...

This test version currently only supports AVC hardware decoding, so your pmp.ini must have use_avc_hw = 1

binary: PMPVLC009_OE_Rev4-test-binaries.zip (Rev.4 for Dark Alex OE firmwares Kernel 3.x mode)
Your Download-Link: http://www.fx-world.org/download/jockyw ... naries.zip

Just unzip and copy the directory PMPVLC009_OE_JockyW to the GAME directory on your PSP

Enjoy,
JockyW

Yay WPA! ("connection state 6 of 4" ... funny ... didn't notice that before)

I'm on 3.10 OE-A' (REV2)

It worked both from 'GAME' with Kernel 3.10 turned on for GAME dir and also runs when put in 'GAME310' with configuration for GAME to be Kernel 1.50.

I was stupid initially and just overwrote the files at first ... didn't realize the '%' wasn't needed anymore ... kept booting up the wrong icon. Of course that no worky ... then I noticed the nice new XMB icon ... a 'doh!' moment.

[mojojojo]

Ody,

You got something streaming at all? That's a start ...

The important thing for the alpha5 change is that the actual TV playlist item is playing ... not the "PSP Playing: " item.

Next step ... Take the PSP and macro code out of the equation ...

Reset the VLC parameters (so that it will actually show stuff on the PC) and make sure that the sneeze method m3u file will let you change channels if you manually click the entries from the VLC playlist UI.

Getting TV to work natively in the VLC UI will verify that you have all the right settings needed and there isn't something specific to your tuner.

Did some more tests, still not able to change channels.

Now I get an error "Unknown format" on the psp

Not sure what I changed ?!?
(I'd say "nothing" but I guess that can't be true :p)

Here's the complete log:

here

[blondin]

yeah man yhx ;)

[jockyw2001]

blondin: the sourcecode dl of your freeplayer is broken
(http://pspfreeplayer.free.fr/fichiers/?M=A)

And can you tell me what apart from the gui is different from pmp vlc?

[jockyw2001]

Here is VLC version v0.8.6a (currently latest official release) with support for AVC hardware decoding.

Your Download-Link: here

[Ody nOOb]

@Jocky

Streaming from vlc 0.8.6a works fine !
(as with previous versions ...)

@mojojojo

Just noticed (as I had to copy your files over again after installing 0.8.6a) that in alpha5, pspfiles.html has a ~ at the end of the file name !

pspfiles.html~

Don't think this is intentional ?
So I was using pspfiles.html from alpha4 after installing alpha5, guess that explains why some things were not working lol

There are also two index.html files (one with a ~ at the end)

index.html
index.html~

which one am I supposed to use ?!?
(obviously, was using the one without ~ so far ...)

/Update

Both index files seem identical ...

/Update2

Ok now I get those net: entries again:

net:/TV1
net:/TV2

after playing it once, I also get an entry:

net:/PSP Playing: TV2

now I don't get any image BUT I get my current channel sound ! lol
Still no channel change.

How do I test the tv.m3u in vlc ?

Yeepa, testing once more and I now have my current channel video as well !
(no, I didn't change anything beetween the two tests lol)

Ahh, I found out why/how, actually vlc steps from TV1 to TV2 (apparently without being able to display it) then moves to PSP Playing: TV2 and then displays my channel.

OK, thats enough for tonight, let me know what you think about it ...

/Update3

Found how to test tv.m3u, seems vlc doesn't like it:

thx for the fantastic wpa enabled release :)

did someone try this with vlc on linux ? i tried with half success:
- vlc 0.8.6 on gentoo
- modified x264-svn ebuild with integrated psp patch on 20060610 version
- modified vlc ebuild allowing oldest x264 version (especially 20060610)

the playlist.m3u:

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,2 - France 2
rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/stream?id=201

playlist in pmp.ini:

Code: Select all

videopath1	= pl:/root/playlist.m3u;
videopath2	= vlc_playlist;

if i try: vlc -I http --http-src /root/psp-http/ -v -v -v -v -v
i get a segmentation fault when i select Video in the File Open Menu:

Code: Select all

[00000253] main interface debug: using interface module "http"
[00000253] main interface debug: thread 3047627680 (manager) created at priority 0 (interface/interface.c:216)
[00000256] main http server debug: Connection from 192.168.0.9
Erreur de segmentation

but pmpvlc and my vlc work fine using Live Stream with:

Code: Select all

vlc --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=600,width=480,height=272,fps=25,\
venc=x264{me=dia,subme=1,analyse=none,bframes=0,b-adapt=none,chroma-me=none,merange=1},\
acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=2}:std{access=http,mux=ts,url=0.0.0.0:1234}' rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/stream?id=201

the same playlist.m3u and pmp.ini work fine too with the windows vlc version.

may be some hard-coded things in playlist path management which doesn't work on linux ?

Yeah ... that was a bit of bad news I had discovered early and forgotten about

VLC under Linux appears to have problems with it's macro language and it's playlist management that I can't get around

So for the time being ... Linux with mojojojo mod is not supportable

Here is Rev4 for Dark Alex OE firmwares so should support WPA enabled WLAN ...

This test version currently only supports AVC hardware decoding, so your pmp.ini must have use_avc_hw = 1

binary: PMPVLC009_OE_Rev4-test-binaries.zip (Rev.4 for Dark Alex OE firmwares Kernel 3.x mode)
Your Download-Link: http://www.fx-world.org/download/jockyw ... naries.zip

Just unzip and copy the directory PMPVLC009_OE_JockyW to the GAME directory on your PSP

Enjoy,
JockyW

I'm having problems with this. I'm on WPA and when i try to connect it says:
WiFi Init error
nlhInit returns $2
Please check Network Settings
i changed all the ip's in the .ini to this computers ip, thats what i'm supposed to do right? this computer is wired to a router with wireless capabilities. I know the psp can connect to the network because i've browsed on the internet with the psp and i tested the connection before and after trying pmp vlc. also, when i change the first line of code to "con = 1; then the error returns as $1 instead of $2.

also, i'm putting the folder in the "game150" folder. should i be doing this? i tried putting it in the "game" folder and same thing happened except i didn't get the error right away. the error would flash up then going away really fast. then if i tried again then i'd stay up for the normal length of time.

@jocky:

I send you a pm for the pspfreeplayer source ;-)

WPA does not work under kernel 1.50 ... you have to run this under the 3.XX kernel mode.

You can either set GAME to be kernel 3.XX or use the specific GAME3XX directory.

"con" is just the list order number of the network config you want to use on the PSP. The first one you make is 1, the next is 2, etc. From what I can tell that number doesn't re-order if you delete entries ... 4 stays as 4 even if you delete the other three. If you only have one config for wireless networking on your PSP ... and only ever had one ... the right number is 1.

Can someone who has come across this problem shed some light on this?

when i use vlc-0.8.6a, i cannot see my network files. with 0.8.5 i can.
what do i need to change here to be able to use the newer 0.8.6a?
