Acou_BassHas anyone noticed a worsening in battery life wwith ota-14? Fairly sure mines degraded :(00:21
t-askAcou_Bass: I might look into it. Can you play videos without problems?01:15
Acou_Basst-ask: Yeah videos work for me though they wont play in the scope (though thats never worked for me anyway )01:57
t-askAcou_Bass: Did you download them with Youtube-dl, too?01:58
Acou_Bassno I just took a video with my camera to test it hehe01:58
t-askAcou_Bass: I'm using Linux to download them and just put them on the phone. Since the OTA video playback is almost broken for me02:00
Acou_Basshmm02:00
t-askTried mp4, mkv and webm without final success :(02:00
Acou_Bassweird02:00
Acou_Basslemme see if I can grab some from my server and trst02:01
t-askyes, very weired. With the OTA some videos only play audio with black sceeen02:01
t-askall vides thumbnails are rendered fine in Gallery02:01
t-askstrange, really strange02:01
t-askGallery can obviously get a frame from the videos, but can't playback ...02:01
t-askmaybe I have to download them with a certain option or size eg.02:02

Acou_Basst-ask: OK so mp4 worked for me but webm and mkv didnt02:25
Acou_Bassall 3 were done eith youtube-dl02:25
t-askwihtout any special option, I guess.02:26
Acou_Bassthe mp4 even played in the scope02:26
t-askstrange I have so many mp4 which don't work at all02:26
t-askon the other hand, some of them work...02:27
t-askeven when downloaded them from the same playlist eg...02:27
Acou_Bassall thats in my youtube-dl config is prefer free formats02:27
t-askMmm02:29
t-askError is shown "Failure to connect with playback backend."02:30
Acou_Bassyeah I got that with a mkv however webm played sound with a blank video02:31
Acou_Bassand mp4 worked perfectly in both media player and scope02:31
Acou_Basswebm had no thumbnail yet mkv sid02:31
Acou_Bassdid* odd02:32
t-askI'm out of luck. MIght be another problem I have02:36
t-askI downloaded the app "mediacodecs"02:36
t-askstarting it only lists Audio02:36
t-askor file names are too long02:40
Acou_Basshmm02:40
t-askbefore the OTA I could play some of those videos. lets say 50%02:41
t-asknow it si 5-10% max :(02:41
t-askthis makes no sense to me02:42
t-askanyways, I have to leave. I will ask tomorrow. Maybe nore devs are on eg.02:45
t-askAcou_Bass: thanks for helping out :)02:45
Acou_Bassno worries :D02:47
Acou_BassIma mention mu battery issues too02:47
Acou_Bassill test it for a couple days to make sure02:47

KrisJacehow to use SDL on Ubuntu Touch?08:39
KrisJacehttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/02/mir-sdl-support08:39
KrisJacethey say it works, but I tired 5 different games all crashed the phone08:40
KrisJaceimmediately upon starting08:40
KrisJacedisplay went goes to shit and phone soon restarts08:40
KrisJacebut it does work if ssh into the phone with x forwarding08:40
KrisJacenot on mir though08:40
KrisJaceI tried both X-Ubuntu-XMir-Enable=true and =false08:41
KrisJacethe only difference is that with XMir enabled it only crashes the app, otherwise the entiore phone08:41
dufluKrisJace: We would like to fix that as soon as possible. Can you log a bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+filebug08:52
dufluKrisJace: It's worth noting most of the development effort and real app testing for SDL has been on desktop (x86), and not the phone08:53

mterrybfiller: btw snap launching in u8 should mostly work now.  So you can test apps in the real u8 env14:14
mterryYou should download the snap from the silo, not the store though14:14
mterryStore u8 snap is lagging a bit, because of LP timeouts14:14
bfillermterry, yeah noticed that last week after building the snap14:14
mterrybfiller: k14:14
bfillermterry, most of our apps in the edge store use unity8 plug as well now14:15
mterrybfiller: calculator and clock don't (they're owned by ubuntucoredev, not canonical, but still)14:16
bfillermterry, hmn, renato__ thought these were updated? ^^^14:16
renato__bfiller, let me re-check14:17
renato__mterry, which rev of clock app do you have?14:18
mterryrenato__: 1214:18
renato__mterry, try to update the version on store is 1914:19
mterryrenato__: hmm I did14:19
mterrylet me try with more flags14:19
mterryrenato__: ah.  You became a devmode snap14:20
mterryI'm guessing calculator did too...14:20
renato__mterry, yes, because of unity8 interface14:20
mterryick got it14:20
mterryrenato__: ok well great -- I'll play with these and update the unity8-snap-install script to pass --devmode14:21
renato__mterry, thanks,14:22
renato__mterry, ubuntu-docviewer-app is just wainting for approval to be publish on store14:22
mterryrenato__: is webbrowser-app on the radar to be updated?  I still only see revision 114:28
renato__mterry, oSoMoN is working on that. he can give us some status14:29
oSoMoNrenato__, mterry: high on my list, will be done sometime this week14:30
mterryoSoMoN: cool, no rush on my side, just curious14:31
mterryrenato__: do you know what the story is with the extra black window when launching a u8 snap?  tedg said it was a snap-side issue?14:35
renato__mterry, I know that in the past we need to launch the apps with --desktop_file_hint=unity8  because the real desktop file hint does not work14:36
dobeyit happens becasue the snaps are u7 snaps, not u8 snaps14:36
=== petevg_afk is now known as petevg
renato__mterry, removing it should fix the problem I think14:36
dobeythe --desktop-file-hint should probably be removed, but i doubt it is the problem14:37
dobeythe empty black hole window is xmir14:37
mterrydobey: my understanding is that snaps can claim both and work natively in both.  But if you're saying that the snap is acting like a u7 snap in a u8 env, then I buy that14:37
dobeymterry: i still say it's a ual issue. the .desktop file says X-Ubuntu-Touch=true, and ual treats all "unity7" plugs as "x11" apps, when what the app runs on has nothing to do with unity7 itself14:39
dobeythe "it can support both 'unity7' and 'unity8' interfaces" argument is a misnomer i think. because for snaps that declare both, do we show the same app twice, one that runs an xmir and one that doesn't?14:40
tedgI think we need to show it once, but we should use the "best" interface.14:41
mterryNo, I think UAL just launches it differently14:41
tedgWe need to clear the MIR_* variables when launching with XMir methinks. Perhaps some of the QT ones as well.14:41
dobeythat is a recipe for disaster14:42
tedgI think it more comes down to "if the app declares both, it better do a good job of figuring things out"14:42
tedgI'd say that apps probably shouldn't declare both, because it's silly to carry all those extra libs, but we shouldn't disallow it.14:42
dobeyi think we're ignoring the snapd-generated .desktop files, so we should prefer what the original .desktop file says, regardless of whether the interface is 'unity7' or 'unity8'14:43
tedgI think we have a firm way of confirming intent, magic undocumented keys in desktop files are not the way to go.14:44
dobeythat might be true when snapd upstream actually has all the necessary changes, is deployed everywhere, and we don't have to have things manually approved in the store that require --devmode14:46
dobeyi don't think that's true today14:46
tedgSure, but I'm hoping it will be by say the end of Jan. So relaxing the rules won't help.14:47
mterrytedg: so is there guidance for app folks like renato__ to avoid the black window?  some shell script wedge to determine if it has real Mir or not?14:47
tedgIn theory no one can declare unity8 right now anyway.14:47
tedgmterry: It should be if you have DISPLAY use X11, if not, use MIR_SOCKET.14:47
tedgmterry: In theory the Qt backend stuff should do that.14:48
renato__mterry, the app does not have control over that.14:48
tedgmterry: That's why I think we need to remove MIR_* because it might be checking for MIR_SOCKET first there.14:48
mterrygot it14:48
mterrySo the app *could* scrub its own environment.  But we can fix it once in UAL is what your saying14:49
tedgI think so, but right now that's just theory.14:49
tedgLet me try it.14:49
mterry"hold my beer"14:50
