I have it on intel and works just fine.
if you see white screen go to preferences and change render engine.

How's the performance you're getting on Intel? I downloaded the app but it's a PPC binary. I'm tempted to write a clone from scratch and make it run on FreeBSD, IRIX and OS X.

Not having a Mac, I would love to see a clone that will run on x86 Linux and IRIX!
Oh, and that is a great icon!

I was just wondering, now that we have mplayer fixed to play all DVDs, would it be as possible to fix IrixDIVX? That would be very nice.

PS: Anybody know how to tell IrixDIVX where the DVD drive is? Mine keeps saying:

Code: Select all


   Trying to playback xVCD or DVD
   

   

   Trying forced device: /dev/scsi/sc3d6l0
   

   Device doesn't exist or is invalid!

Which is because my DVD drive is on /dev/scsi/sc1d6l0. :?:

So, perhaps something changed with how fuel s handle CD/DVD drives?

That version hasn't been updated in years.
Once he won SGI's coding contest he never bothered to update the player any further.

Great! Now I have an excuse to get an Octane2!

I will also look for a quieter drive, because I sit next to my Fuel all day, and my head starts to spin half way through the day. Speaking of this, though, you mention SCSI->IDE converters; where the heck can these be found?!? I've been looking for a long time, as I would like to finally be able to install a nice DVD/CDRW drive in my Fuel.

I would like to stream an MPEG4 file for people to view on the WWW. Is there a way of doing so from my Fuel? I have searched the forums and Web with little luck.

Your best bet would probably be Darwin Streaming Server. I see that the build and install script have references to Irix, but the build fails (I don't think anyone attempted to build it on irix for a very long time).
It shouldn't be too difficult to make a current patch for it anyway.

Being completely new to such things, I did not really know where to begin. I searched for Darwin, and came up with this announcement. I could not fin it on nekoware, though.

Thank you, all, for your pointers. I will play with it.

After booting up today, I was surprised to find all my command terminals saying tset: unknown terminal type iris-ansi. I did not do anything I know of before shutting down last time (edit: oh, I did run nekosync and updated many packages), and all the /usr/share/lib/terminfo files are still there. Can anyone guess what went wrong and how I can fix this?

Might this be relevant?

I don't think so, because I find that "mlterm" works, but it is the only entry I have under /usr/nekoware/share/terminfo. tset is not able to find iris-ansi, vt100, xterm, etc.

Your're sure that your /usr/lib/terminfo/* is whole and uncorrupted? Mine (6.5.30) has these files:

Are the permissions set such that tset can access the terminfo files that are there? 444 is standard.

I realise it's a really lame suggestion but have you considered running an xfs_repair on the root fs, just in case something got crapped up there? It's certainly unusual to have this sort of thing happen all by itself.

Theodric, Thanks for your ideas! All files are there, permissions are correct. I may try xfs_repair from the miniroot, but I still suspect something less intrusive should fix the problem. Is there any chance the recent nekoware upgrades could be responsible? I cannot think of anything else I did that would affect boot or login files.

You might try adding a new user from the gui and see what kind of results you get. Either it will work and you can compare files or it won't and you might get error messages.

Worth a try, maybe ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I was away from the gui all weekend, so I did not get a chance to try, but as I woke up this morning, I suddenly thought: "$PATH!!!!" Checking

Code:

which tset

I found that it is using /usr/nekoware/bin/tset, which explains why it can only find mlterm. So, it was related to the new nekoware packages, after all. I went into /etc/profile (with ssh on an mlterm) and included "export TERMINFO=/usr/share/lib/terminfo". All done!

Thanks to theodric and hamei!
