Hello, there're dozens of "can't play" topics here, I know. Tried to find something related with my situation to keep forum clean but my situation kinda different.

I wanted : to watch a movie with subtitles (which is *.avi)

What I have done : Tried to open my movie with media player, but it said, Codec not supported. So, I thought I need to install codecs on N900.

What I installed : Extra decoders support and subtitles support from repositories.

* After installation of these two, tried to open my movie with media player but same warning show up, codec not supported.

* So checked other two videos on N900, which are came with it, "default videos" (the one N900 being produced by lights and the other one). The 5 dots same with boot screen show up, like it tries to do something but I notice it was unable to do it as time passes, waited about 20 seconds ( ) but nothing happened... Playing those "easy" ones shouldn't be that much problem.

* Then I installed KMPlayer and Mplayer. Choose Mplayer in KMPlayer, and tried it, my movie starts, but it throws me up to KMPlayer menu after a few seconds. Same thing happens with default videos.

* Wanted to start from beginning, uninstalled extra decoders support, subtitles support and tried it again : same result (rebooting before everytime I try again.). Uninstalled KMPlayer and Mplayer, no luck again.


What I think : Obviously something wrong with my N900, may be if something like "basic" codecs exist, they could be the problem.

What should I do now?

Reflashed my N900 about a week ago, everything is OK so far, except this video issue.

Sorry if double post, I couldn't find any if it is posted here before.
