| Hello to all , today I received an Ati 9000 pro from Germany to replace my 9200 se ati on my amigaos4.1 machine.
Is it normal that the Os and the Sysmon of ztools reports that I have an ati radeon 9000 ? The card is actual a 9000 pro ... Do I have to do something for the Os to report the correct VGA card? Maybe install a driver or something?
My Pegasus II has a G4 CPU at 1266 MHz installed and I want to make it as fast as possible so this is way I purchased the new VGA card but I cannot still watch 720 P videos with SMtube without the correct sound that is left behind the video while I am watching.
Is this possible with my machine or it cannot be done ? Any other Pegasus II with G4 owners out there ?
And one final thought , what is the problem with Smtube and dosn't have a 480P option to watch the u tube videos is this a u tube problem or something must be done in Smtube side?
Thank you in advance for possible answers. |

Yes its normal, I got a 9000 pro in my A1XE and it reports as a 9000. _________________

What software are you using ? Been long since I tried, my PegII died a few years back with the infamous north bridge problem but I remember there were Altivec versions of the mpeg decoder, I think it was ffmpeg, that were faster than the non AltiVec versions. _________________

Is ffmpeg responsible for decoding videos with smtube? I think that smtube calls mplayer in the background to play the videos am I wrong? The version of mplayer I am using is what Os4depot has and its the altivec version.
There is a new mplayer in amistore with a price TBA so I cannot purchase that I am afraid . When it will be ready we are going to see if its up to the task on my old machine.
There is also another video player which its name I cannot remember right now which is available for purchasing but it is also unable to play 720p videos with out frame skipping and I do not know if its able to reproduce u tube videos .
The solution to my problem exists and its called X5000 but with my current bad economic situation and the economic crisis here in Greece it is just a dream for me ....
Also thank you for your answer . |

Just started SMTube, there are the options to display YT videos as 480p FLV or 480p webm (in Settings/General tab)
By default, SMTube uses MPlayer. The settings are stored in ENVARC:SMTube.ini.
Could you copy/paste yours in this thread, maybe that you missed a MPLAYER_OPTIONS to make your videos smoother, for example :
" MPLAYER_OPTIONS -vo comp -ao sdl -cache 8192 -cache-min 20"

Thanks for the reply , I am not near my peg but I am going to try your suggestions tomorrow.
I can play 480 p flv videos with smtube but I am getting a lot of artifacts in the picture so not an enjoyable experience ...
Can you provide me with settings for mplayer to adress those artifacts ?
I have to go now and I cannot post for some hours , but first thing tomorrow I will try to mess with mplayer's settings :)
PS. Ztools rocks !!! |

First, look at your ENVARC:SMTube.ini and add the MPLAYER_OPTIONS that I wrote above. It should be faster otherwise post the contents here.

I am at my peg now I copied the exact line of parameters as the first line in the ini file with no luck. Any other suggestion?
Here is the contents of the ini file " MPLAYER_OPTIONS = -vo comp -ao sdl -cache 8192 -cache-min 20 APPDIR:MPlayer
0/400/640/400 APPDIR:ffplay -infbuf APPDIR:ffmpeg -b:a 128k MP3 Amiga/Download/Download DEST MP4 Amiga/Videos ON OFF 3 **** Examples **** Optimisations from K-L (compatible with MUI-MPlayer Overlay and SDL-MPlayer) MPLAYER_OPTIONS = -cache 8192 -cache-min 20 -autoq 100 -autosync 30 Optimisations from K-L (compatible with MUI-MPlayer NON-Overlay) MPLAYER_OPTIONS = -vo cgx_wpa -cache-min 20 -autoq 100 -autosync 30 For LiveForIt Altivec Mplayer with Radeon HD MPLAYER = APPDIR:MPlayer-altivec MPLAYER_OPTIONS = -vo comp -ao sdl -cache 8192 -cache-min 20

No there wasnt "" in the parameters line . I runned some tests here . I first incerted "" to the mplayer's parameters line which made no difference at all ... with or withought brackets. I then scitched the general and player's defaults to 480 P FLV but this resulted in a small palyback window in low resolution which doesn't have any arifacts but is very small . In the past the 480p FLV window gave me a bigger window in playback but with strange big artifacts in the picture . I have to say this behaviur is with the added parameters and wihout and I made several reboots just to be sure. Also ther is a new message window displayed now when I open smtube that says " Please isert volume proc: and gives me the option to cancel or assign it . I think it refers to error 380 but I am not sure.
The player is the altivec livfor it one that you linked.
I hope we are going to solve this and I am going to be able to play 480p FLV files or I have to swich back to 360 P mp4 files . Also when I am switcing the playback to webm files I see that the video is cached but with no display at all . There seems that my machine only likes mp4 format but at 720m p I am getting slow motion video.

Problem solved . I am hapily reporting that WEBM 480 P is playing remarkably well . The overall stability of SmTube is phenomenal now , I am watching long videos that in the past were giving me Guru Meditation.
The 720 P mode is not playing well but for that is responsible my machine I imagine.
I am very happy , the whole utube experience is now reality.
A BIG THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are the best !!!!!!!
PS. Now AEON please give us a current and stable Odyssey and we are done. |
