Re: can n900 play mkv files?
 
Is there ANYBODY that has succeeded in playing a 720p mkv file on their N900??

Because to my understanding, it looks like it's 100% impossible... Unless you scale it down, but then I hate that because it is no longer a 720p file... And streaming is completly useless and I refuse to do so... Most of my tv shows and movies are 720p (some are 1080p but it would be ridiculous to put an 8gb movie on a small device, lol) and I would really like to have them on my tablet.

Don't worry, other devices in this size class won't play 720p MKVs either - Android devices have only just gotten decent DivX playback, and that doesn't even work on first-gen devices at all.

Hell, even my Moto Milestone struggles with DivX on Android (somehow I get the feeling that Android is very inefficient for stuff like this), even though it's got the same CPU as the N900... So count yourself lucky ;)

My tv shows are ~500mb for a 20 minutes segment, and no, i don't find that ridiculous. Okay, maybe I won't put +4gb for a movie, but still, 720p episodes are pretty handy.

Ahhh, I see... I thought the N900 was one of the only devices that COULDN'T play those files, lol, but it's all the opposite :S
Well... I guess I'm just ahead of my time then. Hopefully next-gen devices will be HD-capable, now to play the waiting game... :(

late answer/question, i know, but nevertheless: does this help actually playing the files or just make the n900 recognise them?

since the post from zaheerm is from october 2009, is there anything new today?

i tried the knots2-player and it works with my 720p mkv-files, but using knots is not a very convenient solution to me, especially since the player is really not very usable.

I think we may just have to wait for an official VLC

Re: can n900 play mkv files?
 
I can get it to play back 720p at 3-4fps with mplayer but it pegs the cpu even with the following switches:
Code:
mplayer -vo x11 -vf scale=800:480 -ao pulse -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=all -autosync 30 file.mkv
I tried the lavdopts lowres=1 but it caught an exception and died.

To get the n900 media player to recognise mkv files, you need to do as root after installing the extra gstreamer packages:

tracker-register-mimetype -c Videos -a video/x-matroska

I guess someone should create a meta package for all the container types not supported and have this kind of command added to the postinstall of the package
I can see the matroska videos in the media player but I get an 'unsupported media' when I click on them....BUT I can play them just fine on KMplayer.strange.....

How do you undo this? Since I did this I can find my music throw the media player.

Yes please!.....how do you undo the command....the media player recognizes the .mkv files but doesn`t play them....so now I`m stuck with a lot of .mkv videos in media player that don`t play....How do we reverse this command so that the media player un-index the .mkv extension?

Thanks

tracker-register-mimetype's help suggests using a "-d" trigger:
Code:
tracker-register-mimetype -c Videos -d video/x-matroska

install all it

extra decoders support 0.4
http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p..._0.4_armel.deb

terminal
root:
/usr/bin/tracker-register-mimetype -c Videos -a video/x-matroska

and subtitles

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...m5-4_armel.deb


http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...m5-2_armel.deb


http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...m5-2_armel.deb

ogg
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-t....0.5_armel.deb

and with sib player in n900
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d....6-2_armel.deb

And in pc with ripbot264 software you must be resize .mkv to 840x480 resolution and you can change the subtitles.


and go! go! n900 playing .mkv file 800x480

n900 1150mhz or 1.2ghz are ideal for it

with 950mhz my n900 do not synchronized video-audio
begin well but after desynchronized

I've said this to over a million people: N900's screen is 800x480
(384 000 px). HD resolution is 1280x720 (921 600 px). Where will you get the extra 537600 pixels?
