OGG Music support on N800
 

I just got news of this

Have not tried it myself. If you have, let us know how it goes....

I tried it and after rebooting, the metalayer-crawler pinned the cpu and ran forever, draining the battery. I'm curious if anyone else has had any luck with it.

I installed this but then after doing a reboot it still doesn't play the files. I don't think it is installing the gstreamer plugins properly.

Has anyone got this to work? Are there any special steps?

Hmm...mine cannot even recognise the OGG file as a legitimate file that media player can play.

Doesn't work for me. When I try to open ogg files from file managers it asks me to choose application to open the file with (it seems MIME types are added for ogg, but no app is associated with it), I choose media player, it comes up and then nothing happens.

Exactly same here - this is what I meant to say - I don't think its installing some of the gstreamer libraries

After wiping my n800 and starting from scratch, I'm in the same boat as #5 and #6. The metalayer-crawler ran for a while but didn't get stuck like last time and the oggs are seen as movie files instead of music files in the file manager.

It seems to work for me. I didn't do anything special, just did the one-click install.

What do your ogg files show up as under details in the file manager? Mine are application/ogg while my mp3 files are audio/x-mp3. The metallayer-crawler doesn't find my oggs and media player won't play them when specified. Do you name them .ogg?

Re: OGG Music support on N800
 

My ogg files show up as application/ogg as well. They end in .ogg. I get them from the librivox site, fwiw. Also, fwiw, I can play them with mplayer, but not media player. But the main thing I use, of course, is the Ogg Vorbis player.
