Hmm... No source code? How can I static link it like I do for my stuff so it will run on all kindles without library version conflicts?

I normally test in K5 diags first (less competition for resources), but your program just displays this:

./einkplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libgstreamer-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I suppose I need to boot main and test it there because of its crippling dependence on libraries. Does this work on DX/DXG/K3/K4main/K4diags/K5main? It does not work on K5diags.

I test my stuff on all of the above (and it works).

When do we get the source code? We are still waiting.

In the mean time, I have ffmpeg running in all my kindles in all modes, playing video on the eink. It is a full build with all options and plays all supported video formats and network streams. I run all my eink stuff at 7.7 FPS (130ms/update), which is a good compromise for all the kindles. The DX and DXG run at 1.5 FPS though because of the time spent in the eink drivers. I have also run the K5 at up to almost 50 FPS which works fine for VERY carefully controlled content (no fast motion of high-contrast objects), and on eink, motion is fuild even at 7.7 FPS so that is a generally good all-around compromise.

It would be NICE if your code can give us less overhead than a full ffmpeg build...

UPDATE: I booted to K5main and ran it again. Running ./run_player.sh gave a bunch of different errors this time:

EDIT: Problem solved -- the run_player.sh script contains carriage-returns that need to be stripped out. A new script with "unix" LF-only should be uploaded to replace it. This problem still exists in KTPlayer.tar.gz.

So... what kindles DOES it run on? Or perhaps I should ask "WHICH firmware versions on what kindles does it run on" ??? Just curious...

We could help you fix this, and add enhancements and features to it, if we had source code. Can we please have source code?
