Does this player support the mkv formats? Mplayer can't play most of the mkv files.

I've just downloaded it and I can't launch it through the applications menu. I just send me back to the desktop. I have to use the terminal to launch it... what's up with that?

The version I have is 1.1.0rc2.

EDIT: Nvm. I just read AgvirtheSilent post.

To fix this annoying issue, you need to remove the symbolic links for these files with root privledges, namely:
Code:
rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon/vlc.png
rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/vlc.png
rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/hildon/vlc.png
and give your device a reboot so it can find the icon.
Damn I can't removed the symlink from Xterminal, kept getting Permission denied even with root. So I used SSH to do it for me

Found a bug.

When VLC playing video, press the volume key and you'll get green screen for 0.5second.

Otherwise this is great! playing smoother than Mplayer.

VLC is looking very promising for WMV and MOV playback on the N900. Not quite there yet, but getting close...

I have installed it. Videos play choppy for some reason though.

rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon/vlc.png
rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/vlc.png
rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/hildon/vlc.png

The path of the commands above are incorrect. I just want to point out the right location of this. Here is the correct one.

rm /opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon/vlc.png
rm /opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/vlc.png
rm /opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/hildon/vlc.png

this will work

I just downloaded the latest 1.1 rc2 34-1 from the videolan repo.

tried a normal sd xvid avi, tried 450p h264, tried 720p youtube mp4.
normal sd xvid plays quite chppy although a/v is in sync.
450p h264 and 720p youtube mp4 is totally unwatchable. Only audio plays.

mplayer plays SD xvid butter smooth and 450p h264 avi is watchable although video is slightly out of sync.

Is there something i'm missing?
