how would one play an audio-only mp4 or webm on Haiku? mp4 sometimes plays for me with a weirdly low pitch, webm just doesn't though
<SuperRyn>
i have mpv, mplayer, the default media player application, and smplayer
<SuperRyn>
mplayer says "moov atom not found" on the mp4s that don't play at all
<phschafft>
have you tried -novideo?
<SuperRyn>
it doesn't change anything
<phschafft>
ok.
<phschafft>
the question is if the files are valid.
<phschafft>
hm.
<jezek2>
SuperRyn: moov atom is critical for playback, it contains information about the codecs etc.
<SuperRyn>
Is it part of the file itself?
<jezek2>
the solution is to repair the file using a reference file that contains it with the same codec parameters
<jezek2>
there are tools for that
<SuperRyn>
Ok yeah my music folder was copied from a copy of it that was on my nightly haiku laptop. I guess some files got corrupted or something
<jezek2>
MP4 is a moronic container format, it caused TON of lost footage to many people by simply running out of space while recording and therefore failing to put the moov atom at the end
<SuperRyn>
I can understand why many formats are moronic, software should focus on quality a lot more imo
<jezek2>
while repairable in many cases (for example you can start recording with the same parameters and it should get you a good reference file) there is no simple way for users to get to that information/tools
<jezek2>
any chance it got truncated? can you play it with any other player? (eg. on windows/linux/mac)
<SuperRyn>
It plays fine on my linux install which the folder is copied from originally
<jezek2>
with mplayer/mpv too?
<SuperRyn>
yeah
<jezek2>
then it's weird it doesn't haiku with the same software
<jezek2>
can you check md5sum of the files if they match?
<SuperRyn>
the file utility does show one file as just 'data' where it recognizes other files of the same format as mp4
<SuperRyn>
i'll just transfer the music folder into my usb from linux next time im booted into it
<SuperRyn>
(i'm dualbooting linux and haiku so i can only use one at a time)
<scanty>
virtualise....
<phschafft>
jezek2: oh how I love those partly downloaded files that you can't play back to check if they are actually what you expect....
<SuperRyn>
scanty: i feel like weird stuff would happen if i tried running a VM of my own computer while said computer is already running
<jezek2>
actually it's not weird :)
<jezek2>
it's my favorite way to install OSes, I just map a raw partition to a VM, install the OS and then reboot the computer
<jezek2>
no fiddling with USB drives etc.
<phschafft>
I can still remember that for some systems I did similar and at install added some drivers manually to initrd to match the target hardware.
<phschafft>
I mean you really want working network when you boot on bare metal for the first time. network allows you to fix all other problems. ;)
<SuperRyn>
i guess that would also allow me to listen to music while i install an os
<jezek2>
yeah sometimes drivers can be an issue
<phschafft>
I think at some point Debian added by default drivers for the three most common NICs or something like that.
<jezek2>
doesn't it just contain all the drivers by default?
<jezek2>
I was thinking more about special drivers like nvidia or something
<phschafft>
jezek2: I'm talking about the initrd, not the root volume.
<phschafft>
so this is about early network access, such as for NFS root.
<jezek2>
ah never used such stuff
<phschafft>
also a topic if you used to have small root volumes. when you had your OS on a single floppy ;)
* phschafft
thinks to himself: I must be old, remembering booting GNU/Linux on machines with one floppy drive and no HDDs.
<phschafft>
also I remember that there was something about loading two kernel modules in the correct order for NE2000 to work.
<jezek2>
never run from a floppy, the most weird thing I booted from was SyQuest 88MB cartridges that I used in some PC instead of HDD
<jezek2>
but managed to boot linux on it too :D
<phschafft>
:))
<jezek2>
though I think it was through using of loadlin, which loaded linux from DOS
<phschafft>
yes, that was common.

used that a lot on my Canon laptop.
<phschafft>
strangely there was a time all my machines had floppy and CD drives, but some had no HDDs.

If I MEMory CoPY something it, it just seems natural to take the size of what I actially copy (source or destination, as both should be the same!, but destination might be safer). However not using sizeof() on actual objects and only do it on types is something I see with older developers. maybe some super old standard required that.

could be, the number of issues popping up on this are less then they were before

question.. trying to compile an app but it's detecting x86_64-unknown-haiku how do I set configure to thinking it's linux, I think it's setting it up for darwin by default
<bjorkintosh>
christech: details.
<bjorkintosh>
which app?
<christech>
trying to compile pilot-link
<christech>
make is finishing but not building any binaries.. I see libs and that is it
<kallisti5[m]>
I just want to say, Filer is awesome and we should include it in the base install of Haiku
<kallisti5[m]>
Hell, we should integrate it into tracker 😆
