Thanks. Are you creating a lighter version of every dark icon that you make?

If anyone is interested in declaring a technical preference for CLIB4 distributed programs, you may want to contribute to https://github.com/AmigaLabs/clib4/discussions/212.

Okay. Now it makes sense. In your SOBJ you will have a libstdc++.so of a newer version of GCC.

You will need the version 4 GCC libstdc++ in the same directory as where the game binary is. I am surprised thar Huno has not also provided that SO along with the game.

@Walkero

What about a pinned thread here at Amigans named Guides ... or something.

If they link to intuitionbase... I am not sure it matters.

@Maijestro

I guess you got anywhere ?

@All

I have figured out why I am getting these "micro-jerks". Firstly, my ToolTypes are the same as yours.

It is caused by the program trying to resynchronise the video and audio. So, every so often I will notice the following output from Serial (this represents 3 "micro-jerks" about 1 minute apart):



Or, sometimes it may be something like:


For those that are not witnessing "micro-jerks" - either you never have a synchronisation problem, or, if you do - it is a lack of capturing any serial output that is causing it to not be noticeable.

Does the developer of Emotion ever visit this site?

EDIT: I have disabled any serial debugging. To make double sure, I have removed the serial cable and just deleted my os4_commandline in the startup environment. Still, I get "micro-jerks". So, either you guys are not seeing any lack of sync', or you are and you are just not as OCD as me and don't notice it as well.

Well, I sent an email. Let's see what happens.

I see that with:

skipping forward with an AVI file results in starting the whole AVI file from the beginning.

File type:


Is there an A-EON bug site I can report this to?

So far, all of your suggestions work great.

The only thing I do notice is something that is quite nitpciky. So, I have videos that open with Emotion and I have an RX 560 and no matter what the quality of the video, every so often there is a .3 / .5s delay in video - a very slight freeze that is hardly noticeable. I am wondering if anyone else sees this?

I repeat: it is nitpicky.

I also see it in vidoes that are played over my NAS share or even if the videos are copied to a local partition and played.

My version of Emotion is:

I also have Frameskip set to Disabled.

This seems to be something specific to Emotion. When I use DVPlayer I do not see this hardly-noticeable freeze.

Has anyone tried opening YouTube (etc) videos directly with DVPlayer?

Anyway to grab hold of one of the backgrounds right now? Perhaps with an annoying watermark that would only be removed with purchase? I like the BG.

@HunoPPC
I am interested in this exact error. I am attempting a game port where I have the same error.

Since this is coming from HunoPPC I am surprised to see this error because I was always under the impression that he was using GCC 4 - but this must not be the case for this game.

This error happens due to GCC 8 and above. In that version, different threading methods were created such as "single" and "native". The whole point of building with the flag "athread=native" means that when you finally link your binary file, "gthr-native.o" (I cannot remember exactly the name of the object file) gets linked in and provides the selected threading implementation. This is never an issue with static linking. The issue comes when there is a binary that relies on something that requires those native methods and when they are linked dynamically. There is no such "gthr-native.so" file.

I am wondering if you found a work-around?

Possible to have something more appropriate instead of MS share point?

Thanks.

@Maijestro

Did you get it working?

This is the most Amigaworld topic that I have come across yet.

Can you report an issue with a small reproducible at https://github.com/AmigaLabs/adtools/issues.

I thought newlib did have that. But I cannot remember. If it does, you can just call the newlib one ?

Might be worth noting that it seems to be appending the same path multiple times.

It seems that way, exactly.

@MickJT

It is fixed, as described later on in the post. The library in Odyssey must match the one in Emotion.

Strange. I follwed the guide.

1. Reboot computer. Directly run:


This works.

2. Reboot computer. Open Odyssey and go to "https://aiostreams.amiga-projects.net/invidious/search" and search for the same video. Right click, go to Video (which is the label I gave)

This results in an "IO error" from Emotion.

If I do 1. then 2. then 2. works.

Here are my settings:

Why am I getting an "IO Error"?

As for the above question directly above... I notice:
https://freeimage.host/i/d83TCzJ

I copied the avformat2.library to the Odyssey/LIBS directory and now it seems to work. The picture shows the situation before I copied the library over.

Thanks. I updated my initial post, linking to the subsequent two posts. If you can keep them up-to-date, that would be grand.
