If anyone is having problems after the upgrade to the newest firmware (2.2009.51-1) and Extra Decoders Support 0.3, try this solution:

Install the rootsh package using the Application Manager if you haven't already.

Open the X Terminal and execute these four commands:

Code:

sudo gainroot

We now have admin rights. Be careful.

Code:

apt-get purge decoders-support ogg-support gstreamer0.10-rm gstreamer0.10-musepack gstreamer0.10-ogg  gstreamer0.10-theora gstreamer0.10-flac gstreamer0.10-flv gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

When asked, choose "Y" (yes) and hit Enter. We have removed a long list of additional decoders and meta-packages. This is just one command, so pay attention.

Code:

apt-get clean

Apt-cache is now clean. You can stop here if you want a pristine device, without any multimedia add-ons. There is really no need to re-flash if your device starts acting up.

Code:

apt-get install decoders-support

This command installs Extra Decoders Support 0.3 and pulls in everything you've just removed back from the repository. Give it time.
