mplayer / ffmpeg / mediainfo on the DS-409+

[Ancoron]

Hi *,

finally I've managed to compile a better and faster ffmpeg, mplayer and mediainfo (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en) for my DS-409+.

As a test I wrote up a script that is used to create a video overview image with several screens and technical information like this:



This script finishes that task on the DS in 17 seconds:

Code: Select all

diskstation> time sh imagegrabber-busybox -big -fast -idx /volume1/Video/Animations\ -\ Shorts/elephantsdream-1920-hd-mpeg4-su-ac3.avi
mediainfo = /opt/bin/mediainfo

ffmpeg    = /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

For a comparison I tried the same script (modifying some paths only) on a Quad-Core Linux PC. After 5 runs it had the video file almost completely in file cache so almost no NFS overhead is involved:

Code: Select all

ancoron@quadcore:~$ time imagegrabber-busybox -big -fast -idx /net/diskstation/video/Animations\ -\ Shorts/elephantsdream-1920-hd-mpeg4-su-ac3.avi

Well, that's nice.

mediainfo

Compiling mediainfo was just straight forward as it doesn't have any external dependency. I just had to add some options for cross-compiling and disabling parallel make:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_OPTS="--host=powerpc-unknown-linux --target=powerpc-unknown-linux --build=i686-pc-linux --prefix=/usr/local"
ZenLib_Options=""

CC=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-gcc
export CC
CXX=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-g++
export CXX
LD=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-ld
export LD
RANLIB=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-ranlib
export RANLIB
CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/include -mcpu=8548 -mhard-float -mfloat-gprs=double"
export CFLAGS
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
export CXXFLAGS
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/lib"
export LDFLAGS

#############################################################################
# Setup for parallel builds
Zen_Make()
{
 make
}


Just make sure to include the custom configure options:

Code: Select all

./configure $ZenLib_Options $CONFIG_OPTS $*

ffmpeg

Compiling ffmpeg required some other libraries and header files obtained through IPKG. But in the end it was very straight forward too:

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-cross-compile --disable-altivec --cross-prefix=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe- --arch=powerpc --prefix=/usr/local --extra-cflags="-I/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/opt/include -I/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/include -mcpu=8548 -mhard-float -mfloat-gprs=double" --extra-ldflags="-L/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/opt/lib -L/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/lib -R/usr/local/lib:/opt/lib" --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-swscale --enable-avfilter --enable-avfilter-lavf --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libxvid --disable-ffserver --disable-ffplay --disable-network --disable-devices --disable-vhook

This is against which libraries my ffmpeg is linked:

Code: Select all

        libavfilter.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libavfilter.so.0 (0x0ffdb000)

mplayer

Mplayer is a bit of a beast when it comes to cross-compiling as its configure script doesn't provide parameters for separate host and target gcc. Therefore I just configured mplayer for the target:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-vm --disable-xf86keysym --disable-tv --enable-rpath --enable-cross-compile --cc=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-gcc --as=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-as --nm=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-nm --ar=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-ar --ranlib=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-ranlib --target=powerpc-unknown-linux --extra-cflags="-I/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/opt/include -I/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/include -mcpu=8548 -mhard-float -mfloat-gprs=double" --extra-ldflags="-L/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/lib -L/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/opt/lib -R/usr/local/lib:/opt/lib" --enable-png --enable-jpeg

After that don't just run make, as this won't work. I had to modify the generated config.mak file to use the correct host gcc and to disable stripping:

Code: Select all

HOST_CC = gcc
...
INSTALLSTRIP =

But after that change make && make install just went through (although I encountered a lot of compile warnings). The output of ldd on the syno box shows up like this:

Code: Select all

diskstation> sh /root/ldd /usr/local/bin/mplayer
        libjpeg.so.62 => /opt/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x0ffbc000)

Just installed a lot of other libraries trough ipkg and recompiled mplayer with a slightly different configuration:

Code: Select all

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/opt/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-rpath --enable-cross-compile --host-cc=/usr/bin/gcc --cc=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-gcc --as=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-as --nm=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-nm --ar=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-ar --ranlib=/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/bin/powerpc-linux-gnuspe-ranlib --target=powerpc-unknown-linux --extra-cflags="-I/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/sys-include -I/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/include -I/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/opt/include -mcpu=8548 -mhard-float -mfloat-gprs=double" --extra-ldflags="-L/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/lib -L/usr/local/powerpc-linux-gnuspe/opt/lib -R/usr/local/lib:/opt/lib" --enable-png --enable-jpeg

sed -ie 's/^INSTALLSTRIP = .*$/INSTALLSTRIP = /g' config.mak


Now it uses the correct host GCC and with the help of PKG_CONFIG_PATH it also finds the correct includes and linking options for enabling e.g. theora support.

The configuration script now outputs this:

Code: Select all

  Install prefix: /usr/local
  Data directory: /usr/local/share/mplayer
  Config direct.: /usr/local/etc/mplayer

        libexpat.so.1 => /opt/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0x0f80b000)
        /lib/ld.so.1 (0x30000000)

So there is a lot of power in the ipkg's currently available. The only thing that powerpc really lacks of are the win32 codecs that are not available for this architecture yet. But that doesn't stop mplayer from playing e.g. WMV files correctly.

With the latest build I've verified that this version can deal with almost all formats (well, as I don't have any crappy Real-thing here I can't test that). At least the following formats (including various codecs) are fine: avi, mkv, wmv, flv, mov, mp4, mpg, mpeg, vob.

I have yet a single file to find where this mplayer fails.

P.S.: My next task will be to enable x264 de-/encoding support. After that I'll try to find out why dvdnav support is not enabled although we have the libraries.

[blouz]

Thanks for all these informations.
Let us know if you manage to get x264 !

[Ancoron]

Unfortunately the x264 devs are not that responsive in this case.

I took a look into their source code and they seem to strictly depend on the AltiVec extensions on PowerPC architecture which we don't have.

I asked them on their developers mailing list but didn't get any response yet. So I'm afraid we might never see x264 encoding support on our boxes.

For anyone interested, here's the script I used to get video overview screens.

For this script to work you'll have to install at least the ImageMagick using ipkg and maybe others as I use a lot of awk/egrep/sed here.

Thanks!

Impressive. Is there any chance Mencoder could be compiled since it seems to be the sister product of mplayer?

Hi where did you get 'ldd' from? i have a RS2211 and can't find ldd anywhere. Shell says not found. it's not in /root like yours or in the the syno bins.

[gurpal2000]

@anacron, i tried to cross compile very similarly for the RS2211+ (has an intel 64) ob ubuntu 64. the toolchains i used was the bromolow one (gcc420_glibc236_x64_bromolow-GPL). All seems well, no errors. When i try to run mediainfo (after copying the binary from ubuntu to synology) i get:

/mediainfo: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

any ideas?

EDIT - managed to compile will separately post

I have a DS-1010 which has an Intel CPU, could anyone give me some guidance how to get Mplayer (with Mencoder) to build please?

I really don't know what options I should put in and I am quite intimidated by what I see was needed for other CPUs. Equally, I don't really want to cross compile because I should be able to compile on the NAS?

If anyone could give me a pointer, I would be extremely grateful...This is one of the final components I need in order to get PS3 media server working

ldd is included in the toolchain, but I could never figure out how to launch it, because it fails if you just run ldd.
How on earth did Ancoron figure out that you need to run sh ldd - I have tried looking this up and found nothing, so thanks for sharing. I had been using /opt/bin/objdump -x instead.

I have decided to slip ldd into my Java package since it's also including locale and localedef from the toolchains. Uninstall and reinstall my Java, and you'll find it at /bin/ldd. There doesn't seem to be an ldd for Intel though. For some reason it's missing from that particular toolchain...
