Today gstreamer 1.7.2 was released so I did a mass rebuild.







I also tested playback of local files and they're working fine here.

Tested on both on my Dreambox DM800 Se and my GM Spark Triplex (spark7162).



These images were built using the original openpli-oe-core repository that used to be branched as "gst-1".

However since that branch doesn't exist anymore I manually synced it with the "master" branch as of today.

Furthermore there are some additions of my own:



- Ships with gstreamer upstream master git (currently tagged 1.7.2) with the following patches applied:

Notes:

- If you get corrupted jpeg images on spark/spark7162 the hardware decoder is not working for you, simply login using telnet and type:

rm -f /usr/lib/libmme_host.so

Then restart enigma2 and they should display fine

- Zram is now disabled by default on spark/spark7162, if would like to use it anyways, simply login using telnet and type:

touch /etc/gimme-zram

Then reboot your receiver.

- DM800 first boot will take a while, please be patient. The next boot will be faster.
- On some Zgemma Star models (like sh1 for example) you cannot use full HD skins.
This is a hardware/driver limitation.
Please don't try it, it will crash enigma2.
- Some Dreambox remotes may behave very sensitive.
This causes button presses to register multiple times instead of just once.
As a workaround you can adjust the key interval:
Go to: Menu - System - Input devices - dreambox remote control (native).
Set "Change repeat and delay settings" to yes.
Set "Interval between keys when repeating:" to 200ms or 300ms.
Press green button (OK).
Now set the same delay for: "dreambox advanced remote control (native)" as well.

- Some Dreambox receivers only feature 64MB of flash space.

Also gstreamer 1.7 takes up much more space compared to 0.10.

I've tried my best to gain some more free space but you'll have to do it with ~5MB to play with.

I advice you to first do a software upgrade to get the latest gstreamer packages before you install your favorite plugins/cams.





I'd like to thank everyone for testing out my images and giving me feedback for improvements.



Special thanks goes out to ones helping me out understanding various things, in particular the following members for their contributions to OpenPLi and helping me out:

- Taapat (for his contributions and answering the many questions regarding my fulan BSP)

- Christophecvr (for his contribtions and helping me merging sh4 support into his multibox-dvbmediasink)

- mx3L (for his contributions)

- Beeker (for his contributions)

- Athoik (for his contributions)

And of course the PLi team for keeping their sources and recipes as clean as possible and doing a great job supporting their users!

My apologies if I forgot to mention someone, you know who you are




This will be my last public image based on OpenPLi-4.

Now I can start playing with master-next as well and I may publish public PLi-5 testing images in the future, but don't wait for it since my time is limited




Have fun!
