Fine with me. Nice if Nokia kindly update the codecs and drivers to enable the N900 to perform at the same level of other 3430 devices (like Archos 5). Even with MP4, there are some that play on the Droid that do not on the N900. Ironic.

Temporary bump in the road anyways, since we will see updates and it is still better for my "70%" of avi and divx to play compared to Android's 0%

Did you install the codec pack? (Called "Decoders Support" in the repositories)

Sorry, I forgot to update the package lists.

But it still won't show up in your Application Manager, I guess it isn't in the "user" category.

Not a big deal. Get root and then:

Code:
apt-get install vlc
But honestly, knots2 is a great solution if streaming video is what you want...

Just did, but same vids do not work on the N900, but play on the Archos 5 and Dash (not smooth on Dash though).

Mplayer will "do" for now, but look forward to codecs within the framework performing as well as Mplayer. Better for battery life!

I updated it. Now the Qt4 UI sort of works, but it is not friendly (then again, until Qt4.6 is out, I guess it won't improve much).

Unfortunately though, Qt seems to do something odd with the video (compositing perhaps?), and makes the whole rendering über-slow. So you get to choose between a crappy UI and slow rendering, or proper rendering but no UI :/

In my case the VLC doesn't even start. When I click the shortcut the new VLC window opens, but stays in "loading"-stage forever... (loading animation is rolling on the top bar).

Can you post the exact codec information about the movies that don't play (well)? That would be the most helpful thing to do, as then someone could try to find solutions for gstreamer/MAFW (the in-built player).

Which version? The git3xxx stuff does not have a graphical UI, so you need to start it from CLI anyway.

The git4xxx stuff does have a Qt4 UI, but it is so slow that you probably want to use the CLI too as well.

Actually I'm not sure. I took it by "apt-get install vlc" after adding Qole's repository to the repos list.

redenisc: D-livil is using the git3xxx stuff of course. Those are the ones I put in my repository from your website. I don't see the binaries for your new QT version anywhere.
