Hi all,

I've been looking for a maemo equivalent of either divx web player, totem plugin for mozilla or gecko-mplayer, in order to stream divx content and watch it on my old tv in the bedroom via tv-out, but bummer! no luck.

This device has been around for a long time, how come noone has actually found a definitive solution to make divx streaming possible on the n900. Or did i miss anything? Does the totem plugin work in easy debian?

This issue kind of drives me crazy... The N900 meets all the requirements except for this tiny bit of software.

Please help.

hmmm..
have you tried knots?

and if i correctly remember you can do different things with mplayer in terminal. Have you searched here and wiki? Use power search.

.edit you didnt say from where you want to watch stream?

Yes, sorry.

I know knots but that would require having already downloaded files on another machine, no? I intend to stream via some of the many streaming portals on the web, you know. So it primarily is a maemo browser issue (tried mobile firefox also), but it would be perfectly fine to be able to redirect the embedded divx stream to kmplayer.

The totem plugin for gecko based browsers does the job on my ubuntu machine, but it sucks having to sit in front of the pc and watch movies from there...

I managed to fetch the url.avi via this greasemonkey script in microb. After navigating to the desired website and hitting the generated download link the popup dialog appears, asking me to save or open with media player. I held my breath but unfortunately media player "couldn't connect to server". I'm no CS but guess it has something to do with dynamic urls preventing hotlinking.

Almost there but still no go!

Any ideas?
