Video Player - I'd Really Like One That Worked

[Meanie]

Stu,

I managed to get mplayer and kino2 to play fullscreen on my C3000. The same settings might work for your C1000. Have a look at http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/custom.html#mplayer

Meanie,

Thanks for the link.

Depending on what order you install the ipk you have on your page you will be overwriting the mplayer ipk with the mplayer binary in kino2_bvdd.

I'm currently using mplayer-bvdd-iwmmxt_1.1.4-1_arm.ipk from atty (seems to give better results than just the bvdd version but that could be my imagination )

The -vm -fs works with some movies (usually those scaled to 320x240) but doesn't with the South Park ones, probably something about the odd screen size.

Stu

P.S.

Your site is full of usefull info, thanks

Also to save you manually creating swap files you might want to have a look at this applet - [a href=\"http://ochan4.blog.ocn.ne.jp/blog/2005/04/qtopia_memoryap_935b.html]http://ochan4.blog.ocn.ne.jp/blog/2005/04/...oryap_935b.html[/url] (note: site in Japanese)

I'm in the midst of cross-compiling new versions of gnupg(1.4.0), openssh(4.0p1), libssl(0.9.7e) and openssl(0.9.7e) with gcc-2.95.3 for the Sharp Roms. When I get them done I'll post them on ELSI, let me know if your interested

Stu,

I always thought kino did not include mplayer but I should peek inside and check

I could not get any of my movies to play full screen with only the -vm and -fs options alone.   I always had to enable smart crop for full screen and disable it for window normal sized.

Nice, I see the memory-applet has been updated and improved. Last time I checked, it was still creating tiny swap files. Nice, I will be going to compile some stuff as well when I get around to get a crosscompiler installed.

I would STILL *really* like to see at least ONE wmv &/or asf file(s) that really play on the Sharp app.

Anyone suggest a source to d/l a reasonably sized example(s) that are KNOWN for sure to work under the c860 Sharp player?

NONE of the codecs that I have tried produce wmv or asf files that show anything at all.

And back to my one remaining real bugbear :-) (hey it's my thread) How do I register tkcplayer to play file: video/type ?

Hi again,

/home/QtPalmtop/etc/mime.types should have the "video/mpeg           mp2 mpe mpeg mpg" etc listings already in it detailing all the common video types and extensions.

If you have an application/somesortofmediaplayer       mpg   line in this file, comment it out, you probably won't though.

You should be able to open /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Multimedia/tckplayer.desktop
and insert the line  MimeType=video/*;audio/x-wav which should do it.

Deleting /home/QtPalmtop/.mimetypes.cache and rebooting seemed to sort things out last time I seem to remember.

regards

cheers dude I'll give it a go :-)

Okay read your post carefully -realised you hadn't quite grapsed what i wanted to do - but had given me the right information anyway :-)

So what I did was insert : 'application/tkcplayer mpg mp2 mpeg' into the mimetypes file. Which after a reboot has now registered tkcplayer for use with video files - going to set it for wma's as well as it will play them :-)
So wahey I can now just click on a video from file manager it plays fullscreen and wen it's finished it goes back to file manger so I ca play another video.
And as that's pretty much all I wanted to do I'll say thanks to you all who've helped and go watch the crazy frog video again 'cause it cracks me up every time :-)
