ipod video mpeg player
Noxneo:
The problem is unchanged: we don't know how to access the secondary chip.
Until this problem is solved, mpeg player is very likely to not support sound.
senab:
@Noxneo: You're very much wrong, (see the patch here). I'm guessing you're talking about the Broadcom chip, which is indeed unusable, but the PortalPlayer chips actually have two cores. Only one core is used by the Rockbox at the moment, and the second core is whats needed for video+audio playback. That patch above is the startings of utilising the second core.
Noxneo:
My mistake.
gnu:
@senab: Noxneo was right; he said "Until this problem is solved, mpeg player is very likely to not support sound" and since the problem isn't really solved yet, he is not "very much wrong". The second core can be accessed, but from what I've heard there are some odd problems, so the second core cannot be fully used to play the audio.
Llorean:
I think senab was commenting on the distinction between a second chip, vs a second core (which is present on the same single portalplayer chip), the second chip being the broadcom one that only iPod Videos have.
