Is it possible to make a build for the new PCH C-200?
On networkedmediatank.com I've got a thread on it: http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showt ... #pid276867

Main problem is that C-200 has subtitle issues, but not with mkv files.
I use the usenet client on the C-200 all the time, so all my content is directly saved on the internal HDD.
To make a mkv on my PC is not really an option, because coping 20GB for each m2ts movie to PC and back takes much to long over 100mbit.

When I can start MakeMKV directly on the C-200 would be an great workaround for now.
Besides a work-around, I think a lot of people will find this tool on the C-200 directly very handy.

Hardware of the C-200 is the new Sigma Designs 8643 chipset.
Any info about this is more than welcome

This is the good topic to discuss it. We would need help from someone familiar with development on that platform. The very first question is whether linux on C-200 comes with x-windows system or not. The easiest way to verify feasibility is to compile MakeMKV open-source package and try to execute it on the device. I'm waiting for volunteers to do that.

Thanks mike.

Unfortunately I cannot help due my very little (read none) knowledge of Linux and technical/software stuff reguarding the C-200.
But I will ask on the NMT forum.

I would really like to help as beta tester though.

Hi,
I would like to cross-compile the makemkv. Will makemkv work on command line?

yes, but command-line options are somewhat limited. Please try to recompile open-source part first - libdriveio and libmakemkv and let me know how it goes. Also, please describe why do you need it (what is your usage scenario) - maybe you wouldn't need to run it on the device in a first place.

I was able to compile both libdriveio & libmakemkv without any issues. I am building for mips-linux-gnu which is meant for C200. I am just compiling as most of them request the makemkv software. But personally I don't need it since I don't have the BD source for the makemkv program.

are there any plans to get GUI (x-server) support ?

Please PM me with instructions on how to get a toolchain - I assume that it is standard mipls-linux little-endian buildroot, but what libraries are on device?

rightnow C200 has directfb support. I don't know about x-server support. If there will be a command line, the task can be achieved by using a webserver with php interface to get the input and can process in the player. The toolchain is already available in codesourcery website. The link is http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/m ... release824

I have compiled successfully, but while invoke I got a error which says 'Failed to Initialize'. How to fix?
