aha... DSP limitations... That could explain a lot... So the problem with the Maemo gstreamer plugin is that it can't fall back to non-DSP playback.

But redenisc, you have to remember that this is primarily a user forum, so people are going to click on the official installer on the web page, not download the source and compile the latest svn with the native libmatroska plugin. If you want users to have access to bleeding edge versions of the app, you have to provide a not-too-difficult way for them to download packaged binaries of these versions.
You have to remember that most normal users want a trade-offs between features and stability, rather than always the latest features.
When you're writing a library such as FFmpeg, maybe you can ignore this problem. But when you're shipping end-user software to millions of (mostly clueless) Windows/MacOS/Linux users, you just cannot ship the latest GIT version to everybody everyday and without testing.

I built and put gstreamer0.10-plugins-ffmpeg into extras-devel this morning.
This should handle some of the quirkier video and audio codecs found in files.
A word of warning, the library takes 5MB in root so maybe I should move it to /home/user/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins/ for my next package upload.
UPDATE: also vp6 which is not quirky
This will require flvdemux to play flv files, which I will try and package later today.

Anyway, thanks for the upload. More codecs is never a bad thing.

Hey, when you VLC critics are able to play all those "fine" hentai vids that no other player can- you will feel real bad and will then like VLC 
Actually, some are pretty cool in an artistic kind of way...

Don't confuse me with that other guy that was talking about the lack of the modularity.
The core of the problem is, that everyone says "ololol vlc plays everything, its so good, everyone should get it since its so awsome" but in real life it is mediocre at the best. I just despise the way everyone is hyping up the software that is just fundamentally so crappy.
