[10:34:03 CEST] <cone-625> ffmpeg 03Paul B Mahol 07master:251329fa76c0: avformat/bink: move code for skipping unknown fields to correct place
[10:34:03 CEST] <cone-625> ffmpeg 03Paul B Mahol 07master:1b0922584e46: avcodec/bink: add 'k' version support
[10:34:03 CEST] <cone-625> ffmpeg 03Paul B Mahol 07master:3237f018fd0e: avcodec/bink: set color range
[19:12:53 CEST] <BtbN> There definitely is something wrong with rtmp -> rtmp restreaming in 4.0 and master. 3.4 is happily running for 20 hours now. While the longest I managed with 4.0 was 3h until it just froze with 100% load on one CPU.
[19:13:24 CEST] <BtbN> It happens with both enable/disable librtmp in the same way
[19:13:49 CEST] <JEEB> 1) check if it's the zero != eof stuff 2) start checking with strace or something
[20:22:42 CEST] <durandal_1707> why nobody wants to pay me to work on FFmpeg?
[20:27:39 CEST] <JEEB> durandal_1707: I think you already got offers
[20:27:50 CEST] <JEEB> so you might want to reword that "something you want to work on"
[20:54:20 CEST] <durandal_1707> JEEB: i want to do codecs, but nobody cares!
[20:54:39 CEST] <JEEB> I want to do fun stuff too! but time/motivation/etc
[20:54:42 CEST] <JEEB> :/
[20:56:37 CEST] <durandal_1707> JEEB: why you have so many Bink2 games? Do you manage to play each of them to the end?
[20:56:50 CEST] <JEEB> of course not
[20:56:53 CEST] <JEEB> same thing with playing games
[20:57:15 CEST] <JEEB> the thing I most recently got the furthest is Nier: Automata I think
[20:57:18 CEST] <JEEB> which is..
[20:57:31 CEST] <JEEB> 31 hours
[20:57:36 CEST] <JEEB> and that was just the first story
[20:57:44 CEST] <JEEB> I need to still go through at least two
[20:57:54 CEST] <JEEB> then I have MGS V still waiting for me to finish it
[20:58:07 CEST] <JEEB> 40 hours put into that and I think I just got to the African missions
[20:59:20 CEST] <nicolas17> how do you go about reversing a codec?
[20:59:25 CEST] <nicolas17> disassembling the decoder?
[20:59:29 CEST] <JEEB> basically yea
[20:59:50 CEST] <JEEB> if it has a library you look at the exported symbols
[21:00:02 CEST] <JEEB> see where the decoding-like things seem to be
[21:00:03 CEST] <JEEB> etc
[21:00:32 CEST] <durandal_1707> nicolas17: you basically steal their codebase
[21:00:42 CEST] <nicolas17> there's one I'd like to reverse^W trick someone into reversing for me
[21:01:15 CEST] <durandal_1707> name?
[21:01:30 CEST] <nicolas17> but it's for MS-DOS ("lol what's a library") and I think compressed with an executable packer
[21:02:53 CEST] <JEEB> game stuff?
[21:03:53 CEST] <nicolas17> I don't know what the codec is called, it's used by several Knowledge Adventure MS-DOS games/edutainment like 3D Dinosaur Adventure
[21:05:27 CEST] <atomnuker> wasn't the main issue with bink2 that it had a million variants?
[21:07:31 CEST] <JEEB> yea it has a-k I think?
[21:07:53 CEST] <JEEB> oh wow
[21:08:08 CEST] <JEEB> I forgot completely that I at some point had opened this url https://github.com/drdaxxy/bink2-libass
[21:08:29 CEST] <nicolas17> wow
[21:08:43 CEST] Action: nicolas17 downloads a KA game from archive.org
[21:08:56 CEST] <JEEB> atomnuker: it seems like the newest variant I've seen is J
[21:08:58 CEST] <JEEB> for bink2
[21:11:00 CEST] <durandal_1707> there is bink2 hdr
[21:11:17 CEST] <nicolas17> oh KADEMO is on archive.org too
[21:14:46 CEST] <nicolas17> hmm this isn't the demo I knew of... one of the CDs came with a non-playable demo of several other games, and it was a .bat file running a standalone video player
[21:16:32 CEST] <nicolas17> https://archive.org/details/KADEMO while this one is a demo.exe
[22:01:35 CEST] <klaxa> after much too long, first successful tests with libmicrohttpd replacing the lavformat http server \o/
[22:09:36 CEST] <atomnuker> nice
