Just a note about audio/video players and progs under Diablo.

Videocenter 3.032 works just fine. VCURLs72 installed just fine, just dl the primary3.db, rename to primary.db and copy in /home/user/videocenter, bang, you have 72 TV channels going in no time, and CBS Katie Couric is just as pretty under Diablo as in Chinook. The most recent additions to the VCURLs72 is ComedyCentral, however, it does NOT render well, still working on it.

And without any announcement or promotion, Nokia quietly sneaked in 4 more channels into video center catalogue, thread #17. Of the 4 new channel, one of them is not working. That makes 72+6-1 for a total of 77 channels under VCURLs72.

Media player and mplayer worked just fine. You really need the 1.0rc1-maemo.27.n8x0, the latest version. It plays much smoother then early versions.

The frontend kmplayer works fine under Diablo. So does WorldTV99. Currently under construction is an ambitious playlist file of over 1650+ channel round the world. Version 1 is a finished product, while version 5, the latest still need to iron some dead channels/dead links.
BTW, version 5 is supposed to be a complete search of ALL streaming video sites as recent as Feb07.

Finally, a new found playground for the WorldTV99, kmplayer works fine under KDE358. Midabox media center, another frontend for media player, seemed render video better than media player. Oh, it also works under Diablo.


One problem with Diablo, so far, both VideoCenter and kmplayer continue to display a warning message "Warning: using excess cpu" every now and then. A bug? A beetle? will find out.
