So when I launch the RPC tool, I am testing a command line across <strong>21<\/strong> different combinations of platform\/compiler configurations for FFmpeg.<\/p>\n<p><em>That, my friends, is power.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to this new tool &#8212; nay, <em>superpower<\/em> &#8212; I have efficiently updated and reinstated the following test specs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=133\">armovie-escape124<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=156\">motionpixels<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=149\">qtrle-16bit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=251\">vmnc-16bit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=252\">vmnc-32bit<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even though I am asking for input from the Mac\/PPC build, it&#8217;s probably a good thing that it is not part of the overall test environment yet. There are more than a few tests (most RGB colorspace video decoders) for which the Mac\/PPC build&#8217;s output varies from all the other platforms, even the Linux\/PPC configurations. I don&#8217;t know where the discrepancy lies.<\/p>\n<p>Further, I have finally gotten back to adding new test specs. Predictably, the major bottleneck now is the web administration interface. Working from my notes in the <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.multimedia.cx\/index.php?title=FATE_Test_Coverage#TODO\">FATE Test Coverage<\/a> MultimediaWiki page, I added these tests:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=263\">fraps-v3<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=264\">indeo2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=266\">nuppelvideo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=267\">qtrle-1bit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=268\">qtrle-2bit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=265\">tiertex-seq<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In case I haven&#8217;t adequately articulated my case, let me reiterate that this RPC test staging tool is really neat. When testing a spec, I craft the most unremarkable command line (ffmpeg -i file -f framecrc -) and see the results. If there is an endian clash &#8212; i.e., all the big endian configurations hold one opinion about the stdout vs. the little endian configurations &#8212; I check the native colorspace of the video decoder. If it&#8217;s an RGB-based video codec, I refine the command line with a &#8220;-pix_fmt rgb24&#8221; to normalize the colorspace and dispatch the command again. If the video codec is YUV-based and I know or suspect it involves a DCT, I refine the command with &#8220;-idct simple&#8221; and send it out again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I set up the RPC testing tool in such a way that it includes not only all 8 Linux\/x86_32 configurations, but also the Mac\/PPC configuration.
