sharks[m]Unfortunately updating droidmedia has resulted in a serious regression - I'm now on 20260902 and can't play any videos in Gallery. The ones recorded by the phone's own camera (h264 baseline) just do nothing when the play button is hit, and the ones that used to crash (h264 high) show an overlay that reads "Could not load the video."01:00
sharks[m]Can't investigate further right now as I am supposed to be at work, will have another look this evening. @mal, no chance there is some reason 20260902 won't work on LOS22.2 base 5.1.0.11? I note the android15 branch of droidmedia is deleted so I synced from master, maybe this was the wrong move.01:02
*** n2klb_ is now known as n2klb01:16
Mister_Magistermal: I will give you big smoooch if you type "LGTM" on my sensorfw PR :D10:45
Mister_Magistermeanwhile "is that a threat?" :D10:45
sharks[m]Okay - tried to build from b100dian's commit 8b82f5e, which was from 20260523 - but it fails to build because that predates Android 15 support in the master branch. And as I said the Android 15 branch was deleted when PR 133 was closed. So I guess I'm stuck with debugging 20260902 on-device10:46
Mister_Magistersharks[m]: just rebase on top of android branch10:46
Mister_Magisteror like cherry-pick10:47
sharks[m]But the branch doesn't exist anymore?10:48
Mister_Magisterin what repo10:49
sharks[m]https://github.com/sailfishos/droidmedia/tree/android1510:49
Mister_Magisterwell thats because it was merged to master10:51
Mister_Magisterso just use master?10:51
sharks[m]Yah I did that but now I can't play any videos10:51
sharks[m]Which is what I said here idk 9 hours ago10:52
sharks[m]10 hours ago10:52
Mister_Magisterbro i'm not following every your message, please be understanding10:52
sharks[m]Nah not having a go at you, just pointing out if you scroll up you'll see what I already tried!10:53
Mister_Magisterand diya match the master droidmedia with master gst-droid?10:53
sharks[m]Ohhh - nope! They have to be updated together?10:53
Mister_Magisteryes10:53
sharks[m]That I did not know10:53
Mister_Magistergstdroid talks to droidmedia10:53
sharks[m]Thankyou10:53
Mister_Magisterand my pr kinda broke that talking10:54
sharks[m]Understood10:54
Mister_Magisterso you need pr on gstdroid10:54
sharks[m]Hang on, you've lost me. So I can't use the current master branch of gst-droid?10:55
Mister_Magisteryou can10:55
Mister_Magisteryou should10:55
Mister_Magistermy prs to droidmedia and subsequent to gst-droid both got merged but one won't work without theo ther so you just need gst-droid version that matches droidmedia version so just build master both10:56
Mister_Magisterthat clear now?10:57
sharks[m]Ah, thanks, perfectly clear thankyou very much10:57
Mister_Magisterno worries10:57
sharks[m]I should give you a big smooch now10:57
Mister_Magisterohnoooooo……10:57
sharks[m]Hahaha10:57
sharks[m]silly question but gst-droid is not device specific, I can just build that on OBS?11:02
Mister_Magistereys11:02
Mister_Magisterhttps://build.sailfishos.org/package/show/nemo:testing:hw:motorola:miami/gst-droid11:02
Mister_Magisterexampl11:02
Mister_Magisteryou basically just change repo in _service to whatever you want to build and usually it works11:03
sharks[m]Yes, spotted that thankyou, but I noticed it was pulling from your own fork11:03
Mister_Magisterlike if there's rpm/*.spec in repo it will work11:03
Mister_Magisterthen change the url you're smarter than this11:03
sharks[m]Yeah no - just checking there was no device-specific reason the miami one went to your own fork. I'll just point mine at sailfishos/gst-droid's current commit and should be sweet11:04
Mister_Magistermiami has my own fork cause i was testing my aforementioned PRs11:05
sharks[m]Fair enough, no worries. Thanks again!11:06
sharks[m]Ah shoot I need droidmedia-devel too11:12
T42<Mister_Magister> https://build.sailfishos.org/package/show/nemo:testing:hw:motorola:miami/droidmedia-devel11:12
sharks[m]Yah, just commenting here in case I or anyone else gets momentarily confused by the same thing11:14
sharks[m]Drat, different result with updated gst-droid but still didn't work. Now I don't get the "Could not load the video." message but still no video is able to be played. Back to debugging on-device.11:31
Mister_MagisterGST_DEBUG :)11:31
sharks[m]Yep, back to the start!11:32
sharks[m]Oh wait on!11:33
sharks[m]Picoplayer works!11:33
sharks[m]Just Gallery is broken11:33
Mister_Magisteroh11:33
Mister_Magisterthats weird11:33
Mister_Magisteri mean11:33
Mister_Magisterhuh11:33
Mister_Magisteryou totally are not running my app against my patches >.>11:33
sharks[m]When you hit play in the Gallery, it changes to a pause button but the video doesn't start. When you hit play in picoplayer, everything works fine, even the videos that never used to work. So droidmedia and gst-droid updates have fixed it, but Gallery is still upset11:34
Mister_Magisterhuehue11:35
Mister_Magisterdidya restart ze phone?11:36
sharks[m]Yah, sure did11:36
Mister_Magisterkay i'm outta ideas then11:36
sharks[m]GST_DEBUG=4 jolla-gallery --> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/4d89ba42ab7e11:40
sharks[m]Just gets stuck there and never plays11:40
sharks[m]grok what does this mean11:41
Mister_Magisteryeee you got it xd11:41
sharks[m]haha11:41
sharks[m]"completed state change to PAUSED" - so it is intentionally pausing the video instead of successfully playing it11:42
Mister_Magister(it probably does so due to error)11:43
sharks[m]Yes, trying to pinpoint the error above that line somewhere...11:43
T42<elros34> you remember to clean gst cache11:43
Mister_Magisterohhh ye11:43
Mister_Magisterdo that11:43
sharks[m]...no I did not know about that, what does that mean?11:44
Mister_Magisterrm -rf / i mean rm -rf .cache/gstreamer-1.0 iirc11:46
Mister_Magisterin da home11:47
sharks[m]Sadly no change, bummer11:47
sharks[m]Video doesn't play in xmatic either, so for some reason Picoplayer works where everything else fails11:49
Mister_Magister:DDDD11:49
Mister_Magisterthe best player11:49
sharks[m]win for mister magister I suppose11:49
sharks[m]Okay, I might leave it here for the night and come back another time. Certainly getting closer, at least for now I can use The Best Player for my video needs11:51
Mister_Magistermaster branches of droidmedia and gst-droid with my PRs in them work only on my player that's not suspecious at all11:51
Mister_MagisterI don't know what you're talking about :DDD not suspecious at all :D11:51
Mister_Magistersharks[m]: soon picoplayer will get full on proper subtitles support once abr finishes playing with da browser11:52
sharks[m]I must say I do like picoplayer and am excited for subtitles, but I will still try to figure out what's wrong just the same. After all I have over 30 people using this port now I think! And they all presume I know what I'm doing!11:53
Mister_Magisterwhoa thats a lot11:54
Mister_Magisteri don't think i got 30 people in totala11:54
Mister_Magisterye only got 39 votes in a poll on my group11:55
Mister_Magistersharks[m]: you should join my group and/or branding group :D11:56
sharks[m]I'm just going off the Github downloads. I have 18 downloads on Murray and 16 on Zambezi, basically identical ports11:57
sharks[m]Surely I would not join your branding, Verdanditeam would never port a Sony!11:58
Mister_Magisteryeah i wouldn't count downloads as people, otheriwse like 55 people would be using miami and thats not true11:58
Mister_Magistersharks[m]: i mean you're welcome to11:58
sharks[m]Yeah fair enough11:58
sharks[m]I am honored, but I'm not sure these ports that little old me managed to glue together with far too much help is worthy of your branding11:59
Mister_MagisterI once made one of the jolla bois to dump me statistics from jolla store about active users11:59
Mister_Magistersharks[m]: i'm also gluing my ports together, as i said you're welcome to join11:59
sharks[m]Perhaps I will take you up on that offer later, once I have squashed a few more bugs. I have a few issues I am tracking that I want to get solved before I would be truly happy with it.12:01
sharks[m]For now it is certainly better than the SODP / Jolla port but there's a few problems like weird video and bluetooth calls and fingerprint issues etc. that still need work for it to be truly usable for everyone12:02
Mister_Magistersure meanwhile i extend invitation to my telegram sfos group :D12:02
sharks[m]I have been meaning to join that, but I have not set up Telegram!12:03
sharks[m]I shall set it up now, thanks12:04
Mister_Magisterlol i thought you had tg account12:04
sharks[m]Nah, I only set up Matrix a few weeks ago12:05
sharks[m]Telegram is not big in Australia AFAIK12:05
sharks[m]Oh drat I need to set it up on a phone? But my phone runs SailfishOS!12:07
Mister_Magisteri mean, desktop app maybe works not sure, but for sure you cannot register using sfos clients12:07
abrquite annoying the Android Telegram app now checks play integrity and wants you to pay for SMS verification if it fails. There are plenty of alternative clients though12:08
Mister_Magisterindeedio but once you get it going its fine12:09
Mister_Magisterespecially with my turbo fast yottagram client #ad #sponsored xd12:09
abri may have copied my current android telegram data from my last phone to my new one...12:10
sharks[m]Well I got an account set up, now to set up a matrix bridge!12:14
