| Post subject: | Xvid/Divx Codec troubles on R5B7 |
I've noticed that compared to RA30, R5B7 using the "internal" player, will not play some Xvid movies. They all play OK on RA30, but any movies I have that are encoded in Xvid (using vidomi on windows) won't play in the mythtv internal player, but will in Xine.?? What's the go with that? I've tried installing avifile-xvid and divx, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Thanks Bj |

Could it possibly be a MythTV issue (0.19 vs 0.18)? Prior to 0.19, I never tried the internal player. If you have a specific question, then I'd suggest trying the MythTV mailing list. |

Well I gather that Mythtv Internal doesn't use the same general codecs available to the operating system like Xine does. The reason I don't use Xine is because it looses focus (when using a remote) when it feels like it, especially on a machine that is a frontend only. Ive tried the xterm -e trick and the "click in screen" but they all break at a random point when you least expect it. Mplayer can't play xvid and divx over a wireless link smoothly (the TV works ok though), as it requires way more bandwidth than xine to cache up, so that is why I like the idea of an Internal Player, which fixes these problems. I can't seem to find much documentation on the Internal Player, is there a good site for this other than mythtv.org? I guess the question here is how can I find out if it is a Mythtv thing, or a Knoppix thing that is not sharing codecs? |

First off, it isn't Knoppix. It is KnoppMyth. Second, I'd told you where to ask if you have specify questions. That is the best place to ask. |
