Tuna vids v1.0 - Xvid/AVI Player for DS

**Da_ALC** · February 24th, 2008, 12:06

Okay okay, first of all thanks a ton Chishm this is great!
Im running a R4DS with a 2gb Sandisk MicroSD in FAT on a DS:Lite.

Got a couple of probs tho.
As people have stated, I cant get the loader working (tuna-open.nds). It loads and lets me choose a file but wont load it.
Everything is setup perfectly as stated in the instruction
As long as videos are named as tuna-vids.avi then I can get it loaded fine just running tuna-vids.nds.
I use DSOrganize to rename the file as needed and then run it with no probs.

So far I have only been runnign cartoon on it, family guy n such, which run great but suffer a bit with the frame rates.
With this I find myself allways having to to change the sync to +1, allways. Not that its a problem, but I noticed it.

Other than that its all pretty perfect. I would love to see this as a plugin for DSOrganiser and moonshell (DSO especially for me).

Oh I am converting videos using ffmpeg and the command line as specified on the site, and it works great. 4-5 mins tops to convert an episode of family guy.. sweet as.

If somebody could make a batch-converter so I can leave it to convert a series over night that would be great. Nothing fancy needed.

Thanks again Chishm!

Ah, that's much better.

But I found something rather odd.

I have a lot of encodes of the same video, just testing out settings. It seems that, at 10fps and 192kbps video, the video ends with an almost -30 skew with the audio. But at 12fps, at the same 192kbps video, the skew is actually +3, putting the audio ahead of the video.

Have you tried using FFMPEG and the same settings to convert these video files? I use FFMPEG and haven't come across that issue.

I always get an error with ffmpeg, so I end up using MEncoder.

Anyway... the GUI is nice, but I can't get the filebrowsing to work... I did anything stated on the website, but it keeps halting at:

Opening blablabla.avi with /:fat0 tuna-viDS.nds

Anyone got this baby working with a M3 Simply / R4 ?

Hi there,
player works perfect for me when I load it directly without loader which means i can play only one tuna-vids.avi. When I use loader it works but it can't find the player because path is "fat0:/" instead of "fat:/".
I have tried to compile tuna loader without success.
The error is something related with getFatInterface function

.

Is it possible co compile it with following main.c for arm9?

#ifndef SELECT_DOCUMENT
const char DEFAULT_FILE[] = "fat:/_BOOT_DS.NDS";

#else/
const char HANDLER_NAME[] = "Tuna-viDS";

const char* HANDLER_LOCATIONS [] = {
"fat:/DS/tuna-viDS/tuna-viDS.nds",
"fat:/tuna-viDS.nds",
"fat:/data/tuna-viDS.nds",
};

const char DOCUMENT_EXT[] = ".avi";
#endif

Thanks

P.S I am using R4

So this doesn't play AVI's? I'm not understanding it, why do I need to convert a file if it is already an AVI file, I understand there are multiple types of AVI, but can someone explain to me what do I have to do if I already have an AVI. Take it from there for me please. PM or post here would be very appreciated :>

It plays AVI files, but they have to be in a specific format first (specific width, height, audio etc). Unless your current AVI files happen to be in that format, you will have to convert them first.
