**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jun 13 02:59:57 2008 Jun 13 13:04:56 Yikes! I've just read your post Tony about Main-image-2.png Jun 13 13:05:07 yeah, strange? Jun 13 13:05:22 what a waste of space Jun 13 13:05:25 also they have duplicates of many of the larger-ish images, which seems silly Jun 13 13:05:49 i did a sort by size and discovered this (with windows thumbnails on) Jun 13 13:05:57 I send them a PM about a duplicate image awhile ago and got no reply Jun 13 13:06:15 larger-ish... lol, they are only 6K, just looked agian Jun 13 13:06:28 but there is rcu_ versions of a whole bunch of icons Jun 13 13:07:15 But why would the idiots leave an unused 322k image in there? they obviously were mucking about with something and forgot about it Jun 13 13:07:36 maybe there is a secret payload in the png file Jun 13 13:07:56 that very sexy CD icon they used of only 128x128 is 27kbytes too :-) Jun 13 13:07:57 dvd css keys. ;-) Jun 13 13:08:28 dont forget the subversion directories Jun 13 13:08:39 They're gold. Jun 13 13:08:52 hey Peter Jun 13 13:08:58 hmm, interesting theory about the payload Jun 13 13:09:03 Hi guys. Jun 13 13:09:55 there is a whole bunch of fairly coherent data in the beginning of the file, after the png header Jun 13 13:10:01 I've been Googling this arvo and found that Dvico have leapfrogged Beyonwiz and have a 8635 based PVR. Jun 13 13:10:27 what can the 8635 do? Jun 13 13:10:31 hehe, i have been reading a 150 page thread on a 8624 media player from korea Jun 13 13:11:16 MIPS CPU with MMU, instead of MMU-less ARM, for starters. Jun 13 13:11:32 hmm MMU that'd be nice Jun 13 13:11:34 Dual HD decode, built in HDMI 1.3 Jun 13 13:11:39 and how everyone was on their case about getting mkv support, they were testing 1080p ts files with h264 vid and it was workign fine, despite the manufacturer originally saying a 8624 won't have the grunt to do mkv, and then back pedalling Jun 13 13:12:04 it will be able to do HD PIP Jun 13 13:12:16 yay, a feature everyone wants but is useless really :-) Jun 13 13:12:30 (the 863xx series I mean) Jun 13 13:12:42 I'd like a working interface Jun 13 13:12:45 Dvico is also Korean. Jun 13 13:13:04 yep, many were comparing to dvico in this thread actually Jun 13 13:13:41 Even TViX has turned off, it can power on itself and record on-time which is scheduled by you. Jun 13 13:13:41 Got a promise? Sleeping time? Just schedule program you want enjoy, and send all others over TViX’s auto system. The remainder will be taken by your TViX machine. Jun 13 13:13:51 So, that sorts the Korean manufacturers into Topfield/Broadcom and Beyonwiz+Dvico/SigmaDesigns Jun 13 13:13:58 Got a promise? ;-) Jun 13 13:15:09 Topfield have the better platform (because they are big enough for Broadcom to talk to them), whereas the smaller players are stuck with SigmaDesigns. Jun 13 13:15:45 how about vorticals tirade against you Peter, I almost fell over backwards when i read that crap Jun 13 13:16:07 None of the Korean manufacturers are complying with their GPL obligations, although Dvico have at least posted uCLinux-2.4 source. Jun 13 13:16:08 i wonder if Topfield are even considering making the 7XXX series a media centre? Jun 13 13:17:25 I don't know what crawled up his arse when he got out of bed, but I'm sure it made him cranky ;-) Jun 13 13:18:04 your statement wasn't even sarcastic, it was just an observation "if topfield wants to do a media player, it will be possible" Jun 13 13:18:06 Oh well, I'm not going to entertain his trolling. Jun 13 13:18:41 i think because vort is a major toppy fanboy and hates beyonwiz's I guess, he read your message as "if topfield could even be bothered doing anything" Jun 13 13:19:09 i decided to not post any more to that thread either. Jun 13 13:19:15 well, not on that matter anyway Jun 13 13:22:13 * Yuv422 is adding error/warning dialogs to WizMac. :( Jun 13 13:22:21 hehe Jun 13 13:22:23 still Jun 13 13:22:35 I got sidetracked with my icon Jun 13 13:22:44 only just started dialogs again Jun 13 13:36:05 00000001010102020203030304040405050506060607 is the hex just after the PNG header... and it keeps going up like that till F6F6F6F7F7F7F8F8F8F9F9F9FAFAFAFBFBFBFCFCFCFDFDFDFEFEFEFFFFFF Jun 13 13:36:36 that's a little strange Jun 13 13:36:56 yep, just comparing the header to another PNG they have Jun 13 13:47:15 Could be an uncompressed PNG with a single pixel grayscale gradient Jun 13 13:47:55 Looks like RGB tripplets that monotonically increase on a per-pixel basis Jun 13 13:48:23 i don't think it is part of the image, as at the end of that ramp-up, there is the same bit of header that a normal PNG has, and then compressed data for the rest of it Jun 13 13:48:37 nothing homogenous further into it Jun 13 13:55:01 Ouch! my wizmac program takes about 60% cpu while downloading. :( Jun 13 13:55:15 I'll have to look into that Jun 13 13:55:21 need a few more idle calls in there maybe Jun 13 13:56:44 I don't have too much control over the downloading Jun 13 13:56:50 as it is in another thread Jun 13 13:57:01 threaded stuff.. ew Jun 13 13:57:20 it could be coming from the way I generate my download stats Jun 13 13:57:35 I'll have to do some profiling Jun 13 13:57:42 I've got to go now Jun 13 13:57:43 cya Jun 13 13:57:57 see you **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jun 14 02:59:56 2008
