Man what have you done!!!!! please give me some solutions!
dongzhe,

I had the same problem as you did. Here is what i did to resolve it without re-flashing the device. First, I uninstalled the Extras decoder support v0.3, and uninstall the ogg support (i think that came with it). Then I switched power off and then power on. Then I switched power off again, and took battery out of phone for 1 min. Then put the battery back in and power on device. Now it was back to (normal) before I installed the Extras Decoder Support v0.3. Some how the Extras Decoder Support v0.3 had adverse affect on my n900, so I am not going to use it on my N900 anymore.

I read some issues with .3 before the PR update, but now with the update it seems even worse.

If you install MPlayer it will play a lot of formats and files that the standard Gstreamer does not and it has not seem to made any negative impact on my device. I recommend SIS for a frontend.

Oh dear. I've used statistical data from the video list on my PC trying to transcode failed videos.

It just hit me that all the videos that don't play in the 1.1 update all fall into two categories:

a) XVid
b) MPEG

Wasn't xvid native to Nokia's player (e.g. - not an extra decoder)?

Also, who's responsible for MPEG?

Nice touch is - my MPEG files still have icons from the 1.01. Pushing them shows a ding and a yellow notification. MPlayer plays them just fine from Morton.

a) Leave the phone reindex in peace. Takes a while.

b) There's a bug on bugs.maemo.org about the indexer stuck on one broken video.

c) Clear the cache and rescan. there's a post here, search forum for "rescan media"

d) There's at least an issue on xvid (chapters) and one on MPEG (mine, unknown yet).

e) Clear cache, reboot, let it index an hour. Check back.

Also, using caps and the enter key makes the post easier to read and more likely to get help.

My xvids seem to play fine still after the update. Only broke the tag reading of Flacs which is now working with an update of the Ogg support to 1.06-rc1.

A bit off topic but tried streaming xvids via the upnp from my windows pc and the video won't play just audio. Is this an issue with the N900 or windows?

XVID works for me too, just did the newest update and tried to play an xvid encoded episode of metalocalypse and all was well.

Man the scrolling is way looser/faster now after the new update, seems my media files load faster too.

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.
