Still no joy Even after reinstalling ogg-support and it's direct dependencies, I can't play any .ogg file. .flac files does work, though.

When trying to play .ogg files, mediaplayer just "skips" through whole list, unsuccessfully trying to start every single file on list. If it's .ogg, it fails.

I'm absolutely sure, that same files played perfectly well some time ago. WTF? Maybe it's something FCKD in my device's side?

// Edit
I've tried reinstalling decoders-support and it's dependencies too (in addition to ogg-support and it's dependencies - ogg-support is, for one, dependency of decoders-support) - still no joy.

Progress, is that I now see my .ogg albums/playlist/artists properly, and while trying to play them, open media player shows their correct length. Still, attempt to play any .ogg file result in immediate skip to next song, without slightest sign of sound.

Same apply for Theora video files - I'm absolutely sure that they worked fine (well, I encoded them for use with N900), but now, attempt to play them result in pop-up message about missing "application/annodex decoder plugin" (WTF is that?).

Flac files, hoever, works fine.

Any ideas? I would love to be able to play my .ogg's and theora's again

Ps.

I've tried playback via mediabox (which is different player for Maemo, but using mafw), and results were same.

Of course, playback via mplayer and it's frontends works well, but it's not related (just to confirm, that files are ok).

// Edit 2

Unrelated to my problem, but related to open media player - just after trying to watch theora video (which fails), mediaplayer tries to open new windows 10-15 times (probably, x many times, where x is ammount of videos I have), kicking me into tasknav, forcibly, no matter if I'm doing something else or not It stops only after skipping through whole video list.

Just to make things clear - those video are, normally, working in media player, and this skipping video fenomena is not related to being unable to play something.

Why I know it's kipping through videos? Despite it doing it fast, sometimes, I see first frame for a fraction of second. It may be related to problem observed by merlin.
