Re: Media player cant play mp4
 

Ok, two things:

1. mp4 is a container, so not all mp4 files will be the same (different codecs, profiles, etc) meaning not all will have native support using the stock media player.

2. Nokia N900 only supports H.264 (mp4) videos with baseline 3.0 profile.

If you want more information about video encoding refer to this link:

I got error: Couldn't find package

Re: Media player cant play mp4
 

Very often the error "media not supported" is due to an overclock/instabilty of the dsp.
If running from a terminal:
dmesg | grep -i dsp

you find something like "dsp fault" or "dsp error"... this the confirmation of a DSP instability. This could explain why the day before it was working and now it gives the usual error (media not supported)
