Not finding videos

[Bren]

I just have the trial version of V4 at the moment but i am having trouble with videos. Basically when i open the config & select the folder or disc they are in nothing shows up. They are in MKV format if that makes any difference at all.

I believe only .avi is fully supported... Try using some test .avi files and see if that works for you.

You need to tag them with the non mp3 tagger. Also MKV isn't actually supported yet. They will play but you have to rename them as AVI and they will need to be tagged witht he non mp3 tagger.

Thanks guys what non mp3 tagger do you suggest? AS the video player is windows media based if i had the correct codec would they play or do i just rename them .avi?

[Bren]

Also a quick question. How do i use mp3 tage & rename? I select the album & go to Amazon where it finds the info etc but does not rename the tracks for me.

The non mp3 tagger is a program included with freebox. You should already have it.

Feature request!  Get the tagger to recognize other file extensions.

I know it needs to recognise at least mkv can you think of any others? I need to totally recode that beta tagger and i am not looking forward to it.

VOB, MK4, M2V, M4U

Honestly, it's got some bugs but it works ok.  If you could add these extensions (and any others) it would be cool.

Dude i totally lost the source code so i have no choice but to code it again from the ground up.... I'm not happy about it.

Ah

Maybe we can do a hex editor thing like the "supporters" of SK Jukebox?

[Barcrest]

Screw the hex editor i will recode it, lets face it more options in it would be nice.

The four that jacktucky listed (VOB, MK4, M2V, M4U) plus TS and MP4(?).

I suppose coding this should be tonights exercise.
