AmiCygnix export DISPLAY help

@white

I'm not sure where the problem is - I cannot test it here. But I think the reason is, that all communication between the client and the server is going through the network, even the mouse movements and the key prints.

In other words: A basic problem of AmiCygnix is, that the GUI becomes slow, when there is a lot of traffic in the network. And in this case, the client (Firefox) gets the video data on the Linux side and sends it over the network to the X-Server on the Amiga side.

Unfortunately I cannot change this.

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

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

I'm afraid I cannot help you. I don't know much about ALSA. But I guess, that the problem is on Linux side, even if the message appears in the amigaos shell.

From where does the sound come from? As the X server cannot handle sound, it should be played on the Linux system side.

@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.

There are no wrong questions

Please notice, that AmiCygnix uses different drivers for different gfx card driver software like "Picasso96", "Cybergraphics" or the new OS4 routines. AmiCygnix does not support a gfx card directly!
So if a gfx card is supported by a driver software, it is also supported by AmiCygnix. Just choose the desired gfx card in the screenmode settings in myX11Setup.
