sure. tell me what to write. - Oct 07 2009

what can i do to improve it? I just used libav here.

What would be great is if fscking KDE didnt do software scaling when blitting these wallpapers so i can do cool stuff. SDL is super fast and KDE not... there shouldn't be much difference

maybe a good idea is to use opengl and render to a fullscreen quad and then give that fullscreen array to qpainter? can any kde devs confirm this? - Sep 30 2009

hah yeah thats cool. i suppose plasma is trying to emulate the concept of a gui when all they need to do is allow wallpaper as a widget. thatd be more generalised. - Sep 29 2009

agreed. the bottleneck is actually KDE/Qt internal. I pass it the unscaled data arrays from libav* and then THEY do the blitting and I assume software scaling which sucks. - Sep 29 2009

thats real cool. the only way though I know to update the wallpaper is that in KDE under plasma you get a 'repaint' event on update.

hit me up on email and lets cooperate on this.

it HAS to be passed to a QPainter object somehow. the rest is all easy (its easy to make a plasma wallpaper and ill show u how) - Sep 27 2009

ok unicode support added :) - Sep 22 2009

try the new version i just uploaded. i improved the timing code so they should run at correct speeds now for all formats - Sep 22 2009

can u email me? i might have a patch - Sep 21 2009

ah thats my fault. can u give me a link or email: genjix a gmail .. com (my email) a video so i can test? - Sep 21 2009

ive made a workaround. tell me if the new release works better. - Sep 21 2009

or not... looking into it.

but the fast videos i have, i converted in avi and they worked fine

mencoder file.flv -ovc lavc -nosound -o file.avi - Sep 20 2009

yeah i fixed this for next release ;) - Sep 20 2009

i just realised its a bug with small resolution/size videos. i think i can maybe fix this. - Sep 20 2009

any video - Sep 20 2009

yeah for some reason, some formats like flv give wrong frame info. im not sure how ur supposed to calc the proper frame data for them with ffmpeg but id like to know if someone with libav* knowledge knows.

i think its uses DTS and not PTS values like most videos.

Nonetheless, if u try other video formats it will work. - Sep 20 2009

hey

will u email me genjix (@ ) gmail [.] com and ill send u a test plugin? it only installs 2 files and we can easily remove them no problem.

when you have time, email me and ill send them to ya

this kind of problem is weird cos it should just work :p - Sep 20 2009

awesome. that youtube video is cool :) nice one - Sep 20 2009

yes, as a rule of thumb, the smaller the filesize and the more decoding the plugin has to do, the more cpu it eats up.

raw avi = best - Sep 20 2009

yep formats that require the least compression (and use the most diskspace) run the fastest

best = raw avi - Sep 20 2009

thank you glad to hear that.

about the config ui thing- sounds like KDE isnt finding the lib file specified in the desktop file so we'll have to see about that.

> kde4-config --prefix - Sep 19 2009

nice :)

thank you both for your thanks. it makes it all worth it :)))))) - Sep 19 2009

can you paste here,

ls /usr/lib/kde4/wallpapervideo.so
cat /usr/share/kde4/services/video.desktop
kde4-config --prefix - Sep 19 2009

sorry for late reply but can you paste here

ls /usr/lib/kde4/wallpapervideo.so
cat /usr/share/kde4/services/video.desktop
- Sep 19 2009

can you please paste find /usr/include | grep avformat ??

and also

ls /usr/lib/lib* | grep av - Sep 19 2009

thats strange cos theyre in the same place on my ubuntu but cmake should find them for you. - Sep 19 2009

yeah these messages are fine. it just means you arent using CPU accelerated rendering. - Sep 19 2009

read the INSTALL, you need to install libavformat

#
-- Unable to find libavformat header files!
#
CMake Error at cmake/modules/Findlibavformat.cmake:40 (message):
#
Could not find libavformat! - Sep 18 2009

weird... u got some funky linux distro/system? - Sep 17 2009

k done. ty - Sep 17 2009

thank you :) very nice to hear - Sep 17 2009

you need the packages listed in INSTALL as the kind person had just said ;) - Sep 17 2009

OK I looked into this and its not a good idea because the info is not always reliable like windows can be transparent.

wont add this feature :pp sorry - Sep 17 2009

done. plays at proper speed now. - Sep 17 2009

k i changed it (and credited you). better imo to have proper speed and people not think its a bug (rather than feature) :pp
- Sep 17 2009

k done. - Sep 17 2009

yes ok. - Sep 17 2009

hi no,

ill upload a new version tomorrow if i found out how to do this :pp - Sep 17 2009

yep it was. the encoding & redraw process eats up CPU and hence battery so I made it deliberately slightly slower.

after all its for look and not viewing video.

maybe I will make it an option in the settings :p - Sep 17 2009
