@cygnusEd

Thanks for the info,
I changed distribution because Ubuntu 22.04 has problems with firefox snaps and I don't want to bother editing the files.
This resulted in AmiCygnix crashing from time to time

Now everything works perfectly.

I've made numerous changes to Firefox to make videos smooth.

Thanks again for AmiCygnix.

I hope there will always be new versions and with new features.

I don't know if the question is wrong but I'll do it

Could a Voodoo3 driver for AmiCygnix be made?
If that's the right question.

Thank you

Which then is the most complete system in emulation because it allows you to see Demos etc.

Here a video while using Voodoo3 in emulation with Firefox via AmiCygnix.

@cygnusEd

I worked a bit on pre-buffering the videos now everything works fine.
At the resolution of 1024x768 the base is ready.
Now I can only make improvements for the better.

One last question this doesn't always happen but here is the .log:
(from amigaos shell terminal after DISPLAY export)

ALSA lib conf.c:4120:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
ALSA lib seq.c:935:(snd_seq_open_noupdate) Unknown SEQ default

This doesn't seem to affect operation or even audio sync.

Could I fix it somehow if needed?

Thank you.


The original video runs at 16:9
But the video capture turns it into 4:3

Here the test video is a bit long this time

@cygnusEd

You are definitely right,
I did not notice that,
In fact, before launching the video, the menus work perfectly.
But once you launch the video to see the menus are practically "locked"
I will try to see if I can solve the problem.

I guess on real machines this doesn't happen thanks to the dedicated video card.

Here's a video of the test, but I'd say it's also a ble video to watch for its very human content

https://youtu.be/ovYe7S7aL9Q

The question is :
Because the video is extremely smooth while the GUI is slow.

Thanks for any response.

@cygnusEd

I tried the 1.7 R2 version the videos are seen perfectly.
Now the "Opera" browser also works even if I have problems with the drivers.

Going back to "firefox" strangely when I use the interface it's slower.
For example, if I press the "spacebar" the video immediately pauses.
If instead I do it with the "mouse" it takes longer.

I was wondering if there is a lighter GUI to use, or if I have to use some trick in the Amicygnix options under the "mouse" options

(probably a winUAE mouse management problem)

Thanks for the great job.

Here a test:

@cygnusEd

Thanks for the explanation, you were very kind.

@cygnusEd

Thanks for your valuable suggestions,
they are very useful.

Sorry, I'm rephrasing my question, I must have written it wrong:

If I use a real linux machine with nvidia proprietary drivers ( not Nouveau ) is the linux machine determining the speed of Firefox ?
When I use Firefox, does the machine hosting the linux process the job or is it always the AmigaOS system in use that processes the job with AmiCygnix?

Thank you

@cygnusEd

Basically my question is if I use real hardware (dedicated machine with Nvidia driver) the speed is higher or it always remains that of WinUAE. ?

Thank you.

@cygnusEd

Thanks for the tips,
Indeed Picassodb is fast maybe even better,

Only problem is that it gives me offset colors in AmiCygnix
I tried the various RTG tables but the result doesn't change.
It probably depends on WinUAE.

Note:
I'm using VMWare to host Ubuntu and am getting errors in the Amiga shell window.

I was wondering if it's due to missing NVidia hardware drivers or if it's my configuration wrong in AmigaOS.

At the end of the video the errors in the console are reported
Maybe it helps to understand why

(glx extension missing)


Thanks.

Here I use Firefox to watch a video on Youtube:

https://youtu.be/jfPYjgacVno

Here the DISPLAY export with Cybergraphix

with the precautions indicated above

taking into account that I'm using 3 virtual machines and the screen capture at the same time.

As usual, a better emulated graphics card would be needed

Currently Cybergraphix in emulation seems to be the best choice with AmiCygnix.
But this isn't very important, it's just a hobby to see what you can do with emulation.

here is an example with ffplay and firefox (firefox I need to understand better how to optimize it I did some tests the videos can be seen well once started).

here is an example video:

@cygnusEd

I found two solutions that work.

The first is this:
;
; $VER: Launch-Amiga-Shell.bat 1.1 (04.01.2023) © Edgar Schwan
;
; Launches an Amiga shell on the Workbench (I deactivated the shell)
;

Cygnix:CygnixPPC/bin/wbench2front

this takes me back to the AmigaOS Desktop

but i don't know how to add it to the menus

The second less elegant but it works I added the top bar that takes me back to the Desktop and I can work with the shell for exportDISPLAY ("Cybergraphix")

I had to use winuae in window to facilitate video capture.
Full screen works without screen flickering.

the example in this video:
https://youtu.be/fAn0x1iGL4o

@cygnusEd

Thanks a lot for the reply,
AmiCygnix works fine with AmiCygnix with "WinUAE"
I managed to get "Cybergraphix" to work with the shell to use the "exportDISPLAY"

I miss this step if it is possible to do it,
as written in the documentation there is no "top bar" in the "Cybergraphix" desktop.
Is there also on the AmigaOS side a keyboard shortcut to go back to the Amiga Desktop once AmiCygnix is in the foreground ?

Thanks again for any response.

Or, if possible, create a "script" with AmiCygnix that takes me back to the AmigaOS Desktop ?

I made a short video,
to give an example of what I would like to do,

Thank you.

( in this case I used "Voodoo3" but it also works with "uaegfx" )

The "db drivers" also work.
But they are a little slower.
That's why I would like to use "Cybergraphix"
They seem much faster in emulation.

https://youtu.be/nHGLmEbFJm0

This problem occurs only when I open the "amiga shell" or "unix shell" to use "export DISPLAY"
In practice, I lower the AmigaOS desktop and access the "AmiCygnix" Desktop and the cursor freezes.
If I use the desktop with "Cybergraphix" and use the applications, the cursor does not freeze and works perfectly.

There is some solution to open the shell directly on the Desktop of "AmiCygnix".

Thank you

I succeeded, now I can get "AmiCygnix" to work with the DISPLAY export.

I had a question if it was possible to fix it.

all selected screenmode modes work
but on my emulation the fastest is "Cybergraphix"
I read in the "AmiCygnix" readme that it is obsolete.

I only have this problem if I use "Cybergraphix" the mouse pointer freezes and I can't move it anymore.
Once the "amiga shell" from "AmiCygnix" was launched.

I wanted to ask if I could somehow fix this problem by manually intervening on the "AmiCygnix" configuration.
The "AmiCygnix" screen is not blocked because if I press the keys at random the menus appear.
There is a key combination to acquire the "mouse" pointer. ?

Which file could I edit as an alternative to solve the problem?

Thanks for any help.

Here two screenshots with Ffplay and Firefox working regularly with the "Amiga" shell

@All

Thanks for the replies they were very helpful and kind
But I imagine that not having a real IP address with AmigaOS using for example WinUAE I can only use an emulated "network IP".
(ethernet)
I believe unfortunately there is no trick to overcome this.

And then bind the IP to the export DISPLAY

as happens instead to a real IP of an Amiga Machine.

I was trying AmiCygnix 1.7
with SSHTerm

i can log into ubuntu for example
i can use ffplay
but the video appears in the "ubuntu" window

how do I export the DISPLAY directly to AmiCygnix ?

there is something to configure in AmiCygnix

Thank you,

here is a small video that I made if it can be useful to explain myself better.

@rjd324

Yes, if it is available I would like to have it,
Thank you very much.

@elfpipe

Thank you all the same
It's not that important

I will wait for the new version of QT

Thanks and good job.

@elfpipe
@rjd324

Thanks for the replies,
I will wait for a possible link to be able to download it.

Hi,
Raziel

Thanks for the reply, I was trying (QT-Browser)

Internet-SurfBoard

And

QT-WEB

but it seems to be looking for libpng14.so
I tried to rename it but it doesn't work

The problem is that using Browservice at some point the video stream stops.
The problem lies in the QT-Browsers because with other Browsers for Amigaos 4.1 it works perfectly for example Odyssey.

But the two Qt-Browsers I'm trying with are really very fast.

I think the stream stops because libpng14.so is missing

here a little test if it can help:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5mUAT6th98

How could I solve the problem, Thanks
