kfluxit's okay. i have some rudimentary experience with Linux build environments, so if someone could point me into the right direction about how to update the firmware of my opsis, that'd be already very helpful.00:00
mithrokflux: The "VideoMixerSoC" doesn't actually do any video mixing at the moment, it is more of a "VideoMatrixSoC"00:01
mithrokflux: ssk1328 started the work needed to do color correct video mixing as a GSoC student last year00:02
mithrokflux: We are hoping ot merge that work after we finish the current major refactor00:02

mithrokflux: Did we meet at 33C3?00:05
kfluxmithro: no unfortunately i couldn't come to 33C300:06
mithrokflux: Damn, I was in Berlin for ~3 days after NYE, should have tried to meet up00:06
kfluxmithro: :)00:07
kfluxmithro: ok. so i'll try to set up a dev env for the opsis on my ubuntu 16.10 and flash the latest firmware. the one that came with the opsis seems a bit buggy.00:08
kfluxmithro: or is there any other way to flash the latest one?00:09
mithrokflux: The HDMI2USB-mode-switch tool can be used to flash some of the prebuilt firmware, but we don't have any prebuilt firmware for the nextgen stuff yet00:09

kfluxmithro: allright. but the latest prebuilt one should be better than the one the opsis came with, right?00:11
mithrokflux: It has a /different/ set of issues :-P -- fixing the major ones have required the nextgen stuff00:12
jeamithro: about to do streaming now00:12
