Re: Getting tired of Maemo/N900 movie playback
 
@starman yes, it's annoying, not only because it's a different app, but vlc and mplayer don't use the gpu to play files, hence some of my higher bitrate x264 encodes drop a lot of frames.

as for the fix, guess we'll have to wait and see and don't fret about the iphone-toting colleagues :)

As someone said I think here and in the big 1.1 feedback thread mentioned about having to use the file manager to launch videos, that seems to be the problem here. Now watching Rambo 2.

Try that out and see if it works, you may have to restart your device if you've already gone in the media player to try and play the movie. I'm going back to sleep :D

I'll check bugzilla later and make sure this has been reported, I've got another bug with ID tags to report too.

yeah that was me lol, btw starman do you have the same problem? you can still play videos via file manager but not through internal media player?

There definitely seem to be video playback problems.

EDIT: I'd also suggest renaming this thread to something that doesn't sound like a whining thread. "Video playback problems in PR1.1" or something like that.
Yes.. renaming the thread makes sense, but I cant seem to figure out how to do it, I think I'm being dense :(

Only moderators can rename threads, unfortunately.

yeah i moved an m4v out of .videos and it opened up fine from the file manager.

EDIT: oh you meant starman, lol. I think he does, it's his m4v playback issue I was trying to replicate. Your workaround did the trick.

No the only way i can play the files since the 1.1 update is with kmplayer, even when i use the file manager to launch the movies they do not play, all i get is the 5 white dot loading screen

:(

Thats wierd. My movie had the same encoding settings as you. Did you try rebooting and not opening the media player/going straight to the file manager?

If you post your exact handbrake preset (I think you can export a preset) I'll rip a dvd later and try that file out.

At least it seems to be a bug with the player rather than an unsupported format. Hopefully it'll get fixed, we just need to get it in the bug tracker.

I did a reboot and went straight to the film but still the 5 dots of DEATH... lol

the forum wont let me upload the handbrake preset :(

ill try and upload a movie trailer or something later on tonight to my mobileme account, in terms of legality, can I do that?? Rip a DVD to get a movie trailer, encode it and upload it???

Just to be on the right side of the law lol
