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.

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.

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.

Wow.. i feel stupid.

Reinstalling Subtitle Support fixed my problem.

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

Thanks

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.

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.

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

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

Only a reinstall fixed it.

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

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
