Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

When I try to install 0.3 it wont do it and says Im missing these:

libc6 (>= 2.7-1)
libgcc1 (>= 1:4.3)

What can I do to fix this?

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Translation to Spanish (Latin America)

XB-Maemo-Display-Name: Soporta mas decodificadores.
XB-Description: Reproduccion de mas formatos de video y audio.

BTW, thanks for the add-on works amazing with FLAC audio files. If you need to translate more things to spanish just pm me (if possible).

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Please vote for Extra Decoders Support 0.3.4-1. 10 votes needed.

The changes in this version are relatively minor. I've added a confirm text with information about corner cases (tracker times out), there's a troubleshooting wiki page, some translations added (thanks guys!), re-added MKV support for Maemo 5 2.2009.51-1 release (PR1.1). Package is now compatible with both PR1.0 and PR1.1 with the same feature set.

Oh, and don't post in the other thread, I'm confused enough as it is.

Also, the playback issues you're having after updating to PR1.1 are most likely not related to this package.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Why do we need to vote?

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

To promote package for general use from extras-devel.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

at first i want to apologize couse i don't have the time to go through the whole thread right now.

After i uninstalled the extra decoders supoort i can't play music files (mp3) anymore.

I keep getting an error i would translate it to "can't process task" or something like that.

I there a way to fix this or do i have to reflash my device?

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Is that so? Can you try restarting your phone and trying again? If this is the case then this may be a Huge blocker.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

I have rebooted many times and also reinstalled extra decoders. it didn't help.

Also i can't play AVI files.... very frustrating.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

OK, we have enough votes, now we need to wait 10 days before I can promote this to Extras.

It's virtually impossible for this package to mess something up, because it's impossible to overwrite decoder libraries from other packages. No vital configuration files are altered in any significant way. I have tested this package by running a clean installation (every dependency of decoders-support removed manually) and everything works fine.

Have you perhaps been messing with other, untested packages, such as subtitles support or other related ones?

I suggest reading the troubleshooting guide and using the information from the "Re-installing from X Terminal" section.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Hi ,

First thanks for the job you did with Extra Decoders .

I have some questions who need answers, there's some codecs my N900 can't read for the moment :

++Real Media in .ram, .rm (cf RealPlayer in http://test.orb.com/streamtest/home.jsp)

++3gp Player (amr & aac) in .sdp (cf 3gp Player in http://test.orb.com/streamtest/home.jsp)

Are these codecs supported by your Extra Decoders ? Else can i expect they'll be supported in the future ?

Thanks for your answer.

Bye.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

No, streaming is not supported, but I'm pretty sure that at least the .RM (as well as RMVB by the way) format is supported if you try playing the file locally. Unfortunately streaming is a different beast and the Media Player is closed-source, so we can't do anything about this.

I'm aware that different modules are responsible for streaming RealMedia content rather than playing it back locally, they are not included, but according to my sources, they will not work anyway.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Wow.. i feel stupid.

Reinstalling Subtitle Support fixed my problem.

I'm going to inform the maker of this problem.

Thanks

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Thanks for finding the offending package, and yes, please inform the author of Subtitles Support. PR1.0 and PR1.1 are unfortunately not compatible when it comes to GStreamer (some stuff has been moved around), so I suspect this is caused by dependencies that are mixing older and newer GStreamer packages. I don't see what is wrong with them at first glance though.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Thank you, Thomas.

I can now play mp4 formatted Videos I purchased on iTunes.

And before you guys get excited, no, I haven't found an app that will play DRM'd video and audio on the N900. I... um... fixed the videos by killing the DRM headers. I paid for the damned things, I should be able to play them on what I want to play them on.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

On second thought, a reboot would probably also have fixed your issues. There is nothing wrong with the subtitles support package after closer inspection.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Like i said i rebooted more than once and had the same issue.

Only a reinstall fixed it.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Strange. :) Well, I'm happy it worked out for you.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

yess i confirm that twice reflashed my N900 bcoz of the conflict between the Extra decoders support and the the subtitle support which i need it the most!!! :(

hope there is anyway to solve this!!
thanx guyz for the great job u r doing over here.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

It will sound silly, but for me everything works so far, even after upddating to PR1.1.

Anyways, what can we expect in future releases?:D

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

I tried installing this but it says

Application packages missing: libflac8
libflac8


Can someone help please :(

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Google must be down.

It's in the repositories. http://maemo.org/packages/view/libflac8/

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Don't know if this has been said in the past, but how do I get my music from itunes ( that I bought and downloaded from itunes ) to play on the N900 as everytime I try and play it, I get the damn "Cannot Play Copyright Music", I mean WTF!

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Did you actually check google before trying to be funny? I did and it brought up zilch.

Thanks for the help nonetheless.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

open x-term (you need to have "rootsh" installed)

1. sudo gainroot
2. apt-get install *libflac8*
(look at the number and size of the package(s) ... if that's too much you need to specify the *libflac8*-line in another way ... if it's only one package you should be good to go)

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Thanks, i already installed it from ndi's link though. :)

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

the app-manager stops if a conflict occurs.
apt-get may install the app anyway.
to fetch the missing dependencies/packages you can run "apt-get -f install".
(just another thing to try if there is a problem)

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

You bought music that contains DRM that's only supported by Apple devices. Nothing Nokia or anyone else can do about it.

That said, you can always go back to the iTunes Store and pay Apple again to 'upgrade' your DRM'd tracks to remove that limitation.. :rolleyes:

Or you could just burn them to a CD and re-import them.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

is the n900, or will it ever be able to run 720p video?

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Probably no. And what would you do if it could? From small screen you can probably watch much lower resolution movies than what is its native resolution and you still wont notice big difference.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Trying to install 0.3.4-1, I still get this error.

Really dont feel like flashing my device because of this...

Is there a way to just ignore the error message and install anyway?

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Hi,
I want to share my experience, as hopefully it can be of use for Real Media- related issues.
When still running PR 1.01, I installed Extra Decoders Support 0.3 and managed to run some .rm streaming files (for example, this one: http://www.radio.rai.it//grr/gr_3/ar...00119.1845.ram )

The procedure was:
1) Download the file (1Kb - pointing to the streaming content)
2) Open File Manager
3) Open the file with "Media Player (Extra Decoder Support)"

The file would play ok, including showing the title, provided I didn't try to pause it, stop it or fast forward through it. When attempting to do so, the interface of the Media Player would become unresponsive. The same file would not play from KMplayer. But the bottom line is: the N900 was able to play the file, somehow.

Yesterday I finally updated to PR 1.1 and to my surprise the .rm files now no longer play following the method above. When attempting to open a file in the same way, the Media Player would return a black screen with options to play the file but nothing happens if I hit play.

All this said, is there anything we can learn from this? It looks to me as if it's not impossible to play Real Media audio content on the device, but maybe something in PR 1.1 conflicts with Extra Decoders Support 0.3?

By the way, Extra-Devel and Extra-Testing are not enabled on my device.

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Extra Decoders Support 0.3.4-1 is now in Extras, update your devices :)

@maemomatic, I've no idea, did you try with the newest version?

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

What's the changelog? I'm being lazy and can't find it sorry :) Also Do I have to uninstall anything first?

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Hi.

I bought the N900 and I've been trying to install the extra decoders support, but when i try to download it (regardless whether it's from extras or from maemo.org/download) it says that my installation packages are contradictory (or something like that, my phones in Finnish). How could i solve this?

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

@Tomaszd, I did try the new version just now, but I still can't play the real audio stream. This is a mystery...

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

when will there e support for m4v? vlc coming soon huh

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

"Extra Decoders Support 0.3.4-1"

i have v0.3, and it couldn't update because the package manager whinged about some gstreamer dependency...........

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Same here!
"gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-extra"

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

Solved! Had some download catalogues inactive, activated them and the installation worked

Re: Extra Decoders Support for the N900
 

do you want to explain what that means to me? :)
