The two core stuff was ment not to be taken seriously. But worry of two kernels was. And reason why I have been away was that I was not using N900 because the camera was broken and if I don't use N900 I don't want to hang around here - with outdated iPhone. And the site has banned my home network/router/pc whatever. No help if I use VPN or not. Access denied. It started when there were those thousands of visitors on this site.

ah...yes that mass "visitor" issue didn't help eh?
there must be someone in the "Mod Squad" or higher up the food chain or an ip -phreak around here who can help you out. I bet it is seeing your ip address as part of a block that has been banned (due to the "visitors)

hm...

In fact...that will be 99% most likely what has happened .

Which in turn may have possibly some effect on your n900 from that other thread ..it isn't a certainty ...but the possibility of side effects from a restricted and altered ip access may indeed have repercussions ...
(though slim and remote a possibility it is)

Also ...
You have an n8x0 don't you?
If memory serves...
So it isn't like you are totally out of the maemo scene due to having no device.
the n8x0s more fun to play with anyway...

I didn't really get into the N810 cause I could not see benefits over N900 with specs and capabilities (no 3G).

it is an internet tablet ....so yeah... it doesn't have 3g.
But considering you like to experiment ...
I can think of no better device than the n800 or n810 to do it with...

"specs and capabilities" ?
Sure the n8x0s don't have the specs comparable to the n900..
But capabilities?
I hate to tell you man...
But an n8x0 can do a lot more than the n900....in many ways...

I do suggest you take a glance at the alt os's and alt desktop managers for the n8x0 that can be utilized
I don't know of any handheld that can handle all that the n8x0 line can...

check my google drive link in pimp my n8x0 ...and see.

To give ease to the community I have now started to listen youtube instruction videos concerning linux basic commands. While going to work this morning I listened again and then this formed in my mind. Don't know how well it works. It first started as a song and the first two paragraphs were like a chorus but then it didn't continue as a song.

I like to
toor toor toor
myself apart
- with linux

Where less is more
than more
and where more or less
both are in core

In the start
I was slashed a lot
I was filled with
many dots

My selfimage
was in many cd's
I used cd
to search myself

Sometimes
I wanted to get rid off
bad habits
But I have -r problem
and could not

I could still
make something
of myself
- so I made a textfile

It said: "Hello world!"
and urged to read me.
Accidentally
I purged it.
Without -i.
Gladly I was still left.
Or at least I thought so.

I thought to
clean the leftovers
of this party.
I used auto for it.
I ran on to some obstacles.
But my auto removed them.

I called myself
but the echo was silent.
Didn't know anymore
what was lost and found.

Some are strugling in life
when they have CP.
I felt relieved to have one.

I thought I need to go to
search myself.
But could not find my boots.
So I called my cat
and it told me where they were.

But on my boots
all the strings were messed up.
I couldn't use them.

Without my boots
I felt naked.
So I flashed.
It made me feel whole again.

This post may amuse if you like the sad clowns. Suddenly I lost ability to play any video with my mediaplayer on N900. I look sad and feel like a clown. Am at the moment so down struck that did not want to reveal myself to the community by asking help and be mocked of wrong kinds of post or guided to go through endless threads to find an answer (went through a bunch already). Decided to crawl here to my own hole to weep.

First...
There is no way I will hit the "thanks" button for your post ...
"thanking" you just doesn't seem proper.
Nor would poking (any kind of) fun at your situation be any more appropriate.

Personally I know less about the various (are there many media players for the n900 actually?) media players for the n900 ...compared to the n8x0s ...

Is it the stock media player you are using ...that went "teats up" on you?

(hm. actually ...you probably should start a thread in the n900 subforum under the title
"[name of] media player just stopped playing video. Help!"...
if you can't find a thread that discusses your situation, then start one, someone must have an idea what the issue is..and have dealt with it before...
can't hurt Maemish...
...someone must have gone through the same ...and can point you the right way...
and if anyone takes a poke at you...
ooooh!
I will give them such a pinch.
so cheer up

)

Thanks. There are lots of threads about this problem. It has been an issue/bug before PR 1.2 so when you start to search you will find many threads with an answer "wait for PR 1.2". So far I have tried tracker-processes -r with and without reboot as well as install --re-install encoders or it was something like that with and without reboot. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling different players. This situation concerns all of them: Unable to play video. Video format not supported. And I have to be able to watch my linux terminal education videos as well as videos of the folk music accordion plays I need to practise. I just think reflashing is the easiest way. Maybe I start a thread and ask help before that.
