You can add a menu item that does the "killall" shown in my previous post.

The gmplay source code is provided. It *could* have touch or button support added to it. I generally publish stripped down demo programs that just show the minimum parts needed to support what is being demonstrated (little or no error handling or other support).

Some of my published scripts (like the "geekmaster signature capture" script) could have portions converted to C to add to gmplay, if you want touchscreen support). I have provided a lot of support code in various demos. You just need to "glue together" the pieces you want to use...

ok, but then to my earlier question, do you have any idea how to add the | symbol in the zcat gmvid.gmv.gz|./gmplay command to the xterm keyboard? or is there another terminal emulator with that symbol? because I don't know of another way to launch gmplayer from the kindle without that symbol...

And also, can the kindle recognize a double tap of the home button?

Yes. It would just be the Home key pressed and released twice during a short time period. You can read the keypress events in a script or a C program from the keyboard event device, or by calling the system "waitforkey" command. Of course, you need to do it in a separate thread so it does not stop video playback while checking for a keypress event. There are probably other ways to check for a keypress as well...

xterm on Kindle - useful stuff

in the spirit of mobileread, Assuming the terminal is myts I will post his likely solution.

Useful keys to run gmplay would be:

Code:
~ = Menu + q       (root home directory)
note: The kindles root accounts home directory is very likely 
not where you wish to actually operate from, so think on)

: = BACK + . (possibly useful for specifying ports)
/ = BACK + v
| = BACK + c
- = BACK + f
. = . (duh)

MENU + Z = Tab command Autocompletion

Up on 5 dir controller = Previous Command
Hope that helps.

In myts you can see all the meta key combos by pressing the left edge "Prev Page" button on a K3.

But the OP mentioned xterm, which implies K5, not K3.

Would you be some kind as to post the actual Key combination for the future reader.

In the style MODIFIER + KEY.

It's annoying for the future reader to happen upon "I fixed it" and not know specifically what was done.

It makes us sad

Thanks

Partial success - Odd little quirk found that just might help

Well, with these settings:

usage: ./tones -f 4000 -D hw -c 2 -v -r16000 -mdirect_write
and zcat gmvid.gmv.gz | ./gmplay-1.5a

It is possible to get the two halves to run - happily - on the kindle 3 - without dying.

Now, to get some audio piped through it... any thoughts on how best to "interleave / stream / load / whatever " the data out of ffmpeg? I suppose I better go dig up a man page.

I'm looking for RAW data with ideally RAW wav data strapped to it in some sensible fashion. or at worst something I can decode without trampling on someones IP.

I think I could manage ac3 for example. I think.

Anyways thought I would report the extremely low cpu usage in that mode.
I'll see about getting something other than a stupidly modulated sine out of the demo.

Thanks GM
