So I guess the best modern file format would be mp4, video h.264, audio aac. Screen resolution is 960x540, so no need for higher resolution than that.

If using ffmpeg like in your example, something like this should work. (just tested these and seemed to work)
-s 960x540 -vcodec libx264 -crf 25.0 -acodec libvo_aacenc -b:a 128k -ac 2
Thanks for the info.
I can't get MKV files to play. Need to try some more files while I'm deaming of a Netflix application or HBO application.

I tried this workaroung with Helsinki University Eduroam, to no avail. (I replaced the required fields with the required values and uploaded the local CA cert to the phone.) It just gets stuck in "Connecting" in the UI. Same settings (and CA cert) work with my laptop, using wpa_supplicant. But wpa_supplicant has also the setting "anonymous_identity", could this be a problem? Connman config files don't seem to have such a thing.

Anybody got this working here?

-Devel-mode on
-Make file /var/lib/connman/wifi-foo.config
In file add following (this is example :-) )

[service_foo]
Type=wifi
Name=wlan_ssid
EAP=peap
CACertFile=/home/nemo/ca.pem
Phase2=MSCHAPV2
Identity=user
Passphrase=password

-then in gui: settings -> wlan off -> wlan on

...sorry, my bad, adding the domain part to my identity worked. wpa_supplicant doesn't need that, so I just tried with only the local part.

After using Jolla for a couple of weeks I can say that Jolla is the phone for me. It is about the fact that I can login to my phone via SSH and fix things by myself (such as the power drainage issue or setting up a "hotspot" to share internet). The terminal on the phone isn't bad either. It's pretty cool to execute htop at the terminal and see what's going on (or to show off to friends what the difference of Jolla and a regular phone is ). If someone would like to compile bb (a text based demo using AA-lib) it would be even cooler to show off Jolla on a terminal!

There is one thing I haven't gotten used to. I don't know how to hold the phone in my hand(s) especially when I am writing messages. I mean, writing is easy with the terminal as it flips to horizontal view, but with other applications I have a hard time adjusting my hands to a good position for writing. Horizontal view would fix this problem, but I would also prefer a TOH with a less slippery material.

My five cents.

exFAT is the official standard for SDXC cards but it's not supported by Sailfish or licenced by Jolla from Microsoft (yet). IMHO they need to as it's the standard for SDXC cards, but I'm sure the anti-Microsoft dogmatists will disagree.

You can re-format the card to vFAT32 and access the full 64GB but there's some caveats.

1) No files bigger than 4GB

2) Filename restrictions (mostly affects Macs and Linux, not Windows)

3) You have to use the DOS command line to reformat the card as the Windows graphical format tool does not allow you to format other than exFAT.

4) Jolla don't support GUID partioning (default on Intel Macs) so make sure the card uses the older DOS 'Master Boot Record' partition scheme.

5) One partition only. This might be just me but I couldn't get it to work with two partitions.


You shouldn't have to symlink the card if using vFAT32.

Other file systems will work like ext4 and btrfs but neither Mac nor Windows support them and there's a bug in Sailfish which means they don't automount so it's less than useful unless you're Linux through and through.

You don't need journaling on the flash card so ext2 will suffice and there are drivers for ext2 for Win, don't know about the Macs.

Edit: It seems there is a solution for Mac: http://blog.applegrew.com/2011/12/ac...osx-lion-10-7/

Pretty sure last I checked there was support for much more than just ext2/3, but I can't recall specifics.
For solid/quality support though, the best route is one or more paid solutions IIRC...

The Mac FUSE based ext2/3 support is pretty unreliable IME. The Paragon software is kind of ok but $40.

If you're also using Windows then you'll need another commercial app.

Then the card won't work in TVs and other media players.

So, that's why I say they need to support exFAT. Yes, I know, it's money to Microsoft but presumably Jolla are already paying Microsoft for Exchange ActiveSync support* so I fail to see why we should get religious about it.


* which I really object to as they should have used IMAP/CalDAV/CardDAV ;-)

No they dont need to support exFAT. Microsoft is doomed anyway.
