01:32 <siraben> Hopefully z88dk's C libraries are standard compilant so cross-compilation of binutils works

11:21 <presiden> linux or windows?

11:22 <the_cuckoo> either actually, but windows build is a wee bit lagged (and really hasn't been tested at all..) - best used under powershell or cygwin

11:22 <the_cuckoo> ah - 1 min -= someone at door

11:28 <the_cuckoo> am back, but family starting to clamour for lunch :)

11:30 <the_cuckoo> if anyone is interested, pm me and i'll provide links and docs (may be lagged a bit in responding though) - it is, i feel, a lot more interesting than it probably sounds :D

12:23 <cmtptr> why is it only on request

12:26 <the_cuckoo> because i don't want to spam the #forth channel with stuff which isn't forth

12:26 <the_cuckoo> :)

20:05 <the_cuckoo> (and btw, it's not only on request - that was just me being polite :) - if there's a request for links in here, i'll drop them :))

20:26 <cmtptr> i don't know anything about video editing, i just thought you might have a better chance of getting feedback if you'd just provide the link already

20:38 <the_cuckoo> fair enough :) - the linux build can be downloaded from: http://users.telenet.be/acp/vml/build.tar.bz2 - one of the reasons i asked for a tester is to see if this actually works for others (only tested on ubuntu 18.04)

20:39 <the_cuckoo> to use it, download, unpack somewhere (creates a build directory), open a shell, cd to where you unpacked and source your environment with: source build/vmbenv

20:41 <the_cuckoo> if it works, running 'vmlbatch' should provide a terse usage message - if that step fails, i'd like to diagnose the issues (mostly using ldd to see if i've missed anything from the build, or am relying on dsitro provided components)

20:44 <the_cuckoo> if it succeeds, there's some general usage of the tool here: https://gitlab.com/lilo_booter/vml-batch/blob/master/README.md

20:49 <the_cuckoo> if you follow that link, you'll see there are 3 main types of components which comprise a filter graph - inputs, filters and stores - what's available to you may depend a bit on locally installed packages, but this link provides a source file scrape of some of them [not comprehensive]: http://users.telenet.be/acp/vml/

20:51 <the_cuckoo> my web hosting sucks, so i don't have room to push the windows build - if anyone wants that, please ask and i will provide a link to it (it's direct to my work machine, so rather that was private)

20:54 <the_cuckoo> and i would suggest that if anyone tries this stuff and wants to provide feedback even if it's just to say it doesn't work or it's crap, PM is perfectly fine :)

21:34 <the_cuckoo> and not to blow my own trumpet, but there are a few [large] broadcasters using this stuff
