@knobby : what exactly is not clear in this "Unable to compile rootfextr, make sure you have liblzo2-dev package installed". Solution is as simple as:
"sudo apt-get install liblzo2-dev"
And make sure you have at least 8 Gb free on your filesystem (ask google on how to check free space in linux)

@all having problems - please re-read the first post. If you still don't understand what and how, then leave that until it is ready for one-click-install.

And please, do not expect that n900 will be able to play 720p h264 high-profile CABAC neither 1080p on any profile.

If you are unable to play example video from the first post on your desktop, then check your codecs, video is DivX4 coded. For example KMPlayer plays it on my laptop, while I use WMP 11 on my desktop, KMPlayer refuses to play it.

@Pali - what you have found is not what I have used to build libbridge.s0.2, see may previous post.
