Is there ANYBODY that has succeeded in playing a 720p mkv file on their N900??

Because to my understanding, it looks like it's 100% impossible... Unless you scale it down, but then I hate that because it is no longer a 720p file... And streaming is completly useless and I refuse to do so... Most of my tv shows and movies are 720p (some are 1080p but it would be ridiculous to put an 8gb movie on a small device, lol) and I would really like to have them on my tablet.

Don't worry, other devices in this size class won't play 720p MKVs either - Android devices have only just gotten decent DivX playback, and that doesn't even work on first-gen devices at all.

Hell, even my Moto Milestone struggles with DivX on Android (somehow I get the feeling that Android is very inefficient for stuff like this), even though it's got the same CPU as the N900... So count yourself lucky

My tv shows are ~500mb for a 20 minutes segment, and no, i don't find that ridiculous. Okay, maybe I won't put +4gb for a movie, but still, 720p episodes are pretty handy.

Ahhh, I see... I thought the N900 was one of the only devices that COULDN'T play those files, lol, but it's all the opposite :S
Well... I guess I'm just ahead of my time then. Hopefully next-gen devices will be HD-capable, now to play the waiting game...

late answer/question, i know, but nevertheless: does this help actually playing the files or just make the n900 recognise them?

since the post from zaheerm is from october 2009, is there anything new today?

i tried the knots2-player and it works with my 720p mkv-files, but using knots is not a very convenient solution to me, especially since the player is really not very usable.

I think we may just have to wait for an official VLC

I can get it to play back 720p at 3-4fps with mplayer but it pegs the cpu even with the following switches:
Code:
mplayer -vo x11 -vf scale=800:480 -ao pulse -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=all -autosync 30 file.mkv
I tried the lavdopts lowres=1 but it caught an exception and died.

I can see the matroska videos in the media player but I get an 'unsupported media' when I click on them....BUT I can play them just fine on KMplayer.strange.....

How do you undo this? Since I did this I can find my music throw the media player.

Yes please!.....how do you undo the command....the media player recognizes the .mkv files but doesn`t play them....so now I`m stuck with a lot of .mkv videos in media player that don`t play....How do we reverse this command so that the media player un-index the .mkv extension?

Thanks
