hi PLi team

would you please add 1080p mode to http://openpli.git.s...ideoHardware.py

?

rates["1080p"] =  { "50Hz": { 50: "1080p50" },
	    "24Hz": { 24: "1080p" },
	    "25Hz": { 25: "1080p" },
	    "30Hz": { 30: "1080p" },
	    "60Hz": { 60: "1080p" },
	    "multi":  { 50: "1080p50", 60: "1080p" } }

should be added

  modes["YPbPr"] = ["720p", "1080i", "576p", "480p", "576i", "480i", "1080p"]
  modes["DVI"] = ["720p", "1080i", "576p", "480p", "576i", "480i", "1080p"]

should be edited for 1080p

[Carl]

At moment there is no hardware which is support by pli for 1080p50/60

YPbPr maximum resolution is I so far I know 720p
rates 1080p24/25/30 is so far I know no legal resolution for dvb

Close topic for now?

[Persian Prince]

find other mipsel STBs with 1080p support yourself

google is your friend

it's good to have more features when we can

[littlesat]

1080p support yes.... but no p50/60.......

[Persian Prince]

it's for gigablue (example)

[littlesat]

Are you 100% sure it does output 1080p50/60??? ANd do you also know what TV is required????

And we cannot simply adapt that as we need a feature check on hardware there....

[Persian Prince]

yeah i'm sure , it's from Open MIPS private git

as i know new LED TVs supports it

so is there any hope that we can see 1080p in PLi enigma2 or we should patch it ourselves ?

Edited by Persian Prince, 6 August 2012 - 17:15.

[littlesat]

We do not support Giga Blue.... so we are not able to test too... And in adition it needs a hardware check too (so you do not get the option on the other boxes - thas is the biggest leak in this patch). So I suggest it is better for now to add a patch to enigma2 for it when someone creates an openpli based image for these boxes rather then put it standardwize in OpenPli.

P.S. Where can I find sources/movies with 1080p50/60 content????

Edited by littlesat, 6 August 2012 - 17:21.

[Persian Prince]

it's already tested so don't worry about it

all i'm asking is supporting something new not supporting other boxes

why should we use patches when we can have it in original PLi with simple changes ?

about movies i think you should search for blueray or mkv movies (i'm not sure about this) but you can see those options in WD TV media players from Western Digital too

[Erik Slagter]

There are NO 1080p50 Bluray movies!!! What Bluray calls 1080p is either 1080p30, 1080p25 or 1080p24 (film mode).

And that is why you ALWAYS must mention WHAT 1080p mode you mean. I know some sigma receiver can indeed output 1080p50/1080p60 to the television set. Most decent television have been able to handle that signal for years and years, you don't need a "recent" television for that.

Now what is the use. There are only two uses that come to my mind:
- Home shot 1080p50 material. Yes, my videocamera can shoot in 1080p50. But I don't use it, because it takes up way to much bandwidth and too much cpu to play on a computer.
- The STB can do a bob&weave deinterlacing, which in itself is very interesting, this is the only type of deinterlacing that does not discard image information. On the other hand, if you send the tv set the original 1080i50 (1080i60) signal, it will happily do the same.

There are no DVB broadcasters using 1080p50/p60, it's not defined in the standard. And that's probably why no broadcom SoC's support it.

Also please keep two things separated. Support for 1080p50/p60 in the autoresolution is not equal to support in enigma. If enigma would support the mode, you'd already be able to watch your 1080p50/p60 stuff, there is no absolute need for support in autoresolution for that.

Having said that, I think there is no real objection to not include 1080p50/p60 support in enigma, it won't hurt. I only think you will find no developers willing to sacrifice time on implemenation. So a complete patch for support in enigma is welcome, imho. After that, autoresolution support is a piece of cake.

1080p.patch for VideoHardware.py

(created by diff -u)

works ok

[pieterg]

component cannot do 1080p (neither refreshrate)

[Persian Prince]

check sifteam enigma2 : https://github.com/SIFTeam/enigma2

they did it for their enigma2 (based on Open PLi)

and maybe you can add some extra things too (from their enigma2)

[littlesat]

component cannot do 1080p (neither refreshrate)

Indeed......

[Persian Prince]

thanks for http://openpli.git.s...2443b120d9a92ef

also add 1080p to

http://openpli.git.s.../VideoWizard.py

and

http://openpli.git.s...videowizard.xml

thanks

and something else for Open PLi 3.0 : http://git.opendream...2093960aa88f5c5

[radxnl]

hi,

is there really some one out there that uses the videowizard?

to be honest i am thinking about changing the whole wizard stuff for a long time so we'll see what happens

[Persian Prince]

yeah AZBox and GigaBlue owners

eager to see your idea

[guirigui]

HI,

Trying to output 1080P is a very bad idea anyway as it is a very CPU consuming process.
Although XTrend STB and some VU+ using the broadcom 7413 can natively do it the resutl is rather terrible in fast action contents...
But it is much better to rely on the TV set desinterlacing process...usualy far more effiscient with 1080i...

From what I read in your post I am afraid you completely don't know what this is about, I am sorry.
