I'm having problems opening the install links in the Video Service Catalogue. I assume it's a MIME issue, but it now opens it up as text instead of trying to install in Video Center.

I set up the external video player as mplayer using the recommended settings and
when video center efficiently let mplayer play, the video froze. Then I soon discovered that video center wouldn't open at all. The only way I got it back was to uninstall and reinstall video center. I still can't use mplayer or the same thing will happen again. I'll try removing the video center directory.

Greetings:

I don't about you folks and Video Center, but for me this is what I get.

I've just update Video Center to 2.0.41 version.
I installed some plugins like Videocenter-ci-plugins-base version 0.0.25 and
Video Center plugins version 2.0.24.

Ok, I restarted my N800, just in case.

I open the Extras folder find the icon Video Center, click on it
and a popup windows states: Video Center Loading.

And Nothing Happens.

The program does not open, the earth does not shake.

Help, I need Help.

Regards Robert

Hey Robert,

Did you also delete the videocenter folder on your mmc? I think this was the key for my 'fix', followed by the reboot.

This update is worthless for me. Same problems as before.
If it's a small video file it can easily be streamed (GeekBrief) but if it's a large file/stream it stutters and crashes Mplayer, and yes I enabled the 1024 cache.
Also, they STILL haven't fixed the problem with their "internal" player (Kmplayer).
When using the internal one it pops up Kmplayer but since they didn't bother to patch the VC client to actually pass the stream URL it just loads up a blank Kmplayer.

While the app is cute, it's quite worthless.
They need to go talk to the S60 podcast programmers and learn how to build a proper application like this.
And no, I'm not filling out any more of their silly-assed bug reports or sending something to a mailing list. If Nokia wants to learn from us advanced users then they can get their asses in here and create their own damned bug reports from what they find in here.
Otherwise the "official" Nokia IT programmers can go to hell and I'll stick with the fine offerings from the "unofficial" fan programmers and porters.

KMplayer is NOT their internal player. The internal player is Media Player. Kmplayer doesn't appear to accept externally passed URLs at all from any application. I've noticed this in the past before Video Center was even released. That's not Video Center's fault. I've been able to stream hour long videocasts with mplayer without a problem (without using -cache at all).

Might be a good idea to know what you're talking about before you tell people working hard on giving you what you want to go to hell when your problems aren't even their fault. That kind of attitude impresses no one, "official" or not.
