Re: Decoders Support for N900
 

I would advise you to wait for this new version to be released into Extras after proper community testing in extras-testing. In the mean time the earlier version is already in Extras and you can install it easily right now without having to mess with repositories.

Re: Decoders Support for N900
 

Extra Decoders Support 0.3 is going to land soon.

* MusePack audio support
* fixed an embarassing issue in one of the external deps (versioned dependency now) that might have been causing tracker segfaults


MusePack files get indexed by the Media Player, but you can't seek in those files (time slider disabled). Other than that MusePack files sound great and work fine.

Please don't update to 0.2-1, wait till you get 0.3.

Extra Decoders Support 0.3 is now in extras-testing. Please vote!

Re: Decoders Support for N900
 

In PR1.1 (51-1) library libgstffmpeg.so doesn't work properly. "gst-launch0.10 filesrc location= file.mkv ! decodebin" responses back with error diagnostic:

ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0: A Matroska demuxer plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed
...
No decoder to handle media type 'video/x-matroska'

The same is for media types 'video/mpeg' (MPEG1) and 'video/x-ms-asf'.

Reinstallation, reboot etc doesn't help.
All test was done in KMPlayer because standard media player has an issue (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8165) which shadows a bug. Files played under PR1.0 and "Decoders Support" (not "Extra ...").

File libgstffmpeg.so is exist (in /opt) and symlink from /usr/lib/gstreamer0.10 works. Moving files back from /opt doesn't help.

Re: Decoders Support for N900
 

Hi guys,

I have downloaded the 0.3 version and its able to playback RMVB files (but not MKV for me ..). However, when playing back the RMVB files, the playback is actually very laggy ..

anyone has the same issue?

cheers.

Re: Decoders Support for N900
 

what resolution does it have?
what bitrates do video and audio have?
(i know that rmvb is variable bitrate, but i mean average bitrate)

I'm trying to play some h264 content I downloaded from the BBC iPlayer. Mplayer reports it as: video = ffh264, 832x468 Planar YV12 : audio = faad AAC 48kHz 2ch s16le

When I try to play it, I get this rather unhelpful error message:

gst-launch filesrc location=Spooks_Series_8_-_Episode_1_b00ntg2c_default.mp4 ! decodebin
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...

Would people expect such a video to currently be playable?

Re: Decoders Support for N900
 

When I try to install extra decoders 0.3 it wont do it and says Im missing these:

libc6 (>= 2.7-1)
libgcc1 (>= 1:4.3)

What can I do to fix this?

Re: Decoders Support for N900
 

That's very odd - those are both built-in packages, and neither are at those versions. I've got extra decoders 0.3 installed, so either the package on the repository has changed, or there's some corruption in there somewhere. I'd suggest updating the repository metadata (run "apt-get update" as root in X Terminal) and try again.
