Looking for testers for ES Video Preview on Raspberry Pi
-
@Nismo Hi Nismo,
Thank you for the reply. I'll do my best - I'm traveling tomorrow, but today I may be able to squeeze a bit of time to test these out today. In fact, if you can just share one video, I'll just download that one and check it - I won't be able to test out all the videos, but assuming they're all the same, the result would be equivalent.
For the rest of the thread:
I'll try to make a log/report of the temperature using ES and Kodi for the same videos, if they fail. It'd be an interesting comparison, at least for me.
Thanks.

@pjft Here you have: https://mega.nz/#!h9lEERaY!Kk6AdgQXSp2FKXJDBbujHGPFNRPtYnaZuir8HznWCrw
Please try with a few of them, because not all videos have the same duration and in consecuence, filesize.
Thanks for testing. -

EDIT: @Rion - can a premium member download High Quality videos from EmuMovies at 320x240? Or are their HQ ones only at 640x480? Most of the arcade games and console games on these old systems ran at resolutions lower than 320x240, so I fail to see why there wouldn't be 320x240 videos with much crisper definition, like the ones at http://www.progettosnaps.net/videosnaps/ for MAME (great site).
Sure you can. Just point EmuMovies Sync to your rom/roms folder and select the desired quality of the videos you want. It then scans the folder/folders and download the appropriate video snap for that roms with the same name.

watch n 1 get_temp.sh
Thanks for the detailed post! I will try to pull those videos down and modify my gamelists to show them. It might not be today, since I've also got to deal with work stuff... Sometime in the next 48-72 hours or so, probably.
One last question- the command you are running to monitor temperature, you are logging into the Pi via SSH and running that script, correct? Or is that something you have modified EmulationStation to display?
-
@MWGemini Not at all, thank you for your time. You - and everyone else here - are literally doing it out of generosity, so I appreciate it very much (as well as I totally understand if it doesn't get looked into).
As for your question, that is correct: I log into my RPi via SSH and just run that script. I do create it beforehand as a file there, and give it permission rights.
- Login to Pi via SSH
- sudo nano get_temp.sh
- Paste the content of the script
- Ctrl+X
- Y
- chmod +x get_temp.sh
- watch n 1 get_temp.sh
(you can actually do "n 5" or something else - I believe the number is the number of seconds between calling the script).
Thank you!

@pjft Yep, just wanted to confirm your setup. One side note- 1s polling might be helping to max out the CPU and cause the problem, but even if that's the case, we shouldn't be baking the CPU and board under normal use conditions.
Also, I did just find this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2218/raspberry-pi-3-idle-load-temperatures-while-running-retropie which has some good temperature related info.
-
Thanks. Yeah, I'd poll it after 5 or 10 seconds normally - it was just a sample command.
Here's my log @Nismo @fieldofcows @MWGemini from the EmuMovies linked earlier and a Nismo video. Didn't have the chance to load them on Kodi, but don't expect it to reach the same temperatures.
10 mins until first warning, I believe.

Using emumovies files directly caused my pi3 to give me temperature warnings when I would preview the files with the latest build of emulationstation. I ended up converting my videos from 640x480 to 320X240. That seemed to help the temperature issue for me.

@HurricaneFan Please can you try the megadrive-genesis video pack i uploaded a few post ago?

So, my last inputs on this whole research for the week. Won't have access to my RPi for a few days as I'm out for work. @fieldofcows @MWGemini
- Kodi performs fantastically better at rendering the 640x480@60fps video (the one that ES couldn't as it rendered artifacts, and stuttered). Not only that, it does that at a temperature that's lower and needs lower CPU speed than EmulationStation idle. Likely because it's doing most of the work on the GPU, though I'm not an expert here. The only thing I think I read about in the past was that the reported speed was the rolling CPU clock speed average from the most recent (something) period. So that's interesting that in Kodi it's sometimes reported as 600Mhz when rendering the video.
- EmulationStation in idle state still heats the CPU more than Kodi in idle, or rendering the videos. I didn't leave it until it plateaued, but Kodi was in the 45C range rendering the video, whereas EmulationStation idle was climbing slowly towards 55C. I then ended up turning the RPi off as I have to do other things tonight still.
Here's the log, hope it helps:

Have a great week!
-
@Nismo Downloading now. I'll try to get this tested tonight on my pi3.
-
@Nismo I've downloaded your videos, but I have to update my gamelist.xml. I haven't converted my genesis collection to use your new theme yet. So far I've tested NES and SNES videos so far.
-
@pjft Thank you very much for your testing, i hope you enjoy your travelling and not tooo much work.
@HurricaneFan Same for you, thanks for testing, you don't need to use my theme, you only need to use the videos with any theme with video support. Thanks again.
My interest it's on the videos not in the theme, because i did a lot of re-encoding and i'm affraid all that time re-enconding, it's time lost if i need to dowscale all the videos.
I was just about to open the thread for my theme, and if a need to dowscale all the videos again.... it will take to me almost one month to re-encode again.
My first idea was not to much filesize videos with good quality for previews for use with a little SD card, but now i'm thinking that downscale it's better for performance...
And I have to say, that i do that re-encoding process for all people helping this project, because i use full quality videos under windows, and I want to contribute this project as best i can, so that re-encoded videos are for the forum, not for me, that's because I need to know what's the best for rpi, because I don't have one.
I will upload more art, stay tuned.
Regards to both.
-
@Nismo Thank you for all that you have done so far. I use the application Handbrake to queue up all my videos to re-encode. It takes a while for the number of videos I have but its super nice just setting it up and letting it do all the work without me needing to do anything.
-
@HurricaneFan I know what is handbrake, and it's very limited, I know how to re-encode videos and how to batch re-encode, but I need to have all the advanced options available and handbrake it's a very limited program, I don't need programs for batch encoding, I only need people who can test videos, and find the best parameters for a rpi, because i don't have one, I know how to encode and batch encode videos and resize, apply effects, etc, etc.
Only need people who can test my videos because I use windows and i don't want to loose my time if I need to reencode all my videos for downscale.
I don't need optimized videos for me, but i'll try to do it for people with rpi, optimizing filesize, and no temps problems, because I'm trying to do my best for this great forum.
-
@Nismo Thanks Nismo. As I stated, in its current incarnation it's not ideal, but I have hopes that maybe the EmulationStation video performance can be adjusted, so I'd hold off on re-encoding everything as maybe things will improve.
Thank you for all the hard work!

@pjft said in Looking for testers for ES Video Preview on Raspberry Pi:
but I have hopes that maybe the EmulationStation video performance can be adjusted
Funny you should say that. I had play with this last night trying to work out where the high CPU usage stems from. I disabled all rendering code and just left the VLC library rendering into a buffer and the CPU usage (measured through the temperature gain) was the same.
At the moment, VLC is configured to reformat the video pixels to RGBA8888 so I tried some different encoding formats. The native format for my videos takes a bit more work so I just tried some others such as RV16 and RV32. This seemed to make quite a significant difference to the temperature of the pi and is a fairly quick fix to try. I'll put a build together, hopefully tonight for some people to try out to see if it makes a difference.
I don't know much about video formats but is there a prevailing format that is used by most videos/codec? According to https://wiki.videolan.org/YUV/#I420, "I420 is by far the most common format in VLC. Most video decoders output raw pictures in I420 format". If I add direct translation from that format then maybe it will alleviate the problem.
-
@fieldofcows I didn't in any way mean it in a way to suggest anything or put pressure on anyone - apologies if that's how it came across. :)
I just meant, from a technical, conceptual point of view, all things equal the video rendering should be able to perform similarly in ES as outside of ES, or at least incrementally similarly.
Should we encode videos differently or is it a rendering tweak? If I'm honest, I believe my videos are encoded like yours. Also, if people resort to Emumovies as a common source, then I'd say optimizing for those would be best as it's more likely that this videos are used by the majority.
I'm thinking of checking how Kodi actually renders videos. Will see what I can find in the coming days.
Thanks for all!
-
@pjft I wasn't feeling pressured -I just like to fix things :)
I have two rpi 3s and both of them run the same temperature with my videos. I have spent some time watching the temperatures with the script and they do indeed increase over time but plateau at about 75-76 degrees. I'm sure putting them in a case would reproduce the issue.The problem is that we are at the mercy of VLC with regards to performance. All we can do is tweak the settings and configuration in VLC to reduce it's workload and try to perform an ES/rpi optimisation on the remaining work. That's what I'm currently trying. VLC is doing a fantastic job - I was surprised this worked at all without GPU acceleration.
However, looking at how kodi works is a good idea. Does it use VLC? Something else? Can it render into a window or is it full screen only? I've never used it myself so if you can provide some information on this then that would be fantastic.
-
@fieldofcows Have you never used kodi? Well then you have been missing out on alot 😉.
There is alot info avaliable on Wikipedia
