VLC is faster fromm the command line, and the control keys can also be set there to match MPlayer if you like. I just use DBUS Switchboard to associate the correct file types so they run straight from the web or from file manager.

didn't even have the icon problem (although i did a reboot after install)

just add as a new catalogue & search in media , then wala!

Alright I got it to work, but after installation the application just reboots my N900. ...every time.

Also there is no icon for this app.

Solution?

xuggs,

What about the reboot issues? Those commands are for the icon right?

Thanks!

EDIT: I put in the first command...

rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon/vlc.png

And this is what it said...

"cannot remove: No such file or directory".

Pretty impressed with this release...tried a few files to test (the two included clips on the N900 as well as a mix of Handbrake'd x264 ones) and they all played smooth as silk with perfect audio. Don't know how much of that is due to being overclocked to 850mhz, but eh.

The only thing I have is that the CPU is constantly pegged, even when not playing anything (Conky shows utilization at roughly 80% and PulseAudio another 8%), and oddly enough MP3 audio playback was choppier and used just as much CPU... without visualizations activated. With them activated, the audio stream just broke down to random beeps and bloops unitl it was deactivated.

Still early so I know there's plenty more to optimize, but I can't help but be impressed at the quality of this release. Nice job, devs!

Using the QT interface is very laggy, but the comand line works perfect, infact it's the only player that for me plays regular 700Mb Divx files without hiccups/lags...
