I love it, but is there any way to get it to see and associate .ra (RealAudio) files? They don't appear in the song browser. I can play them from the file browser but have to tell it to use the Media Player every time.

I like it. This's so wonderful! Thanks very much! Well, Could you help me? I know we can convert "mkv" to "avi" in pc, but the new file have too large size (up to 3gb/1 clip).So could you upgrade this application with "*.mkv" support? Thanks again!

Hi,

I had the dependancies issue, but as explain by the author after removing "Mirror" and "Mappero" applications, then executing the followings commands it works for me: sudo gainroot apt-get purge decoders-support apt-get autoremove apt-get update apt-get install decoders-support

Thanks Thomasz for your good work

Can someone help me out whenever i try to intall the software I always get "Downloading Extra Decoders Support failed." what should I do?

2010-07-10 18:04 UTC

OK, another application that might conflict with Extra Decoders is Mappero (not Mapper). So if you have problems with conflicting packages, remove Mirror and Mappero, then install Extra Decoders. You can then install Mirror and Mappero again. I'm really not sure why this is necessary.

Also, I would like to remind people that it's possible to donate to support the project, copy and paste this URL into your address bar:

2010-07-03 20:22 UTC

Alright, here's a probable solution to the problem people are having with the upgrade. If you haven't already, install the "rootsh" package from the Application Manager. Then start X Terminal and run (hit Enter after each line):

sudo gainroot

apt-get purge decoders-support

apt-get autoremove

apt-get update

apt-get install decoders-support

If you get the error about gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-extra, uninstall the previous version of the EXTRA DECODERS and install this version. It worked for me.

Great add-on, and I think that you should also list in the description, that it gives support to Apple Lossless. Don't know if it is implemented by purpose, or not, but after installing this codec pack my N900 was able to play Apple Lossless as well

Thanks again!

I managed to work around the gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-extra problem via the pool repository here http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle-update2/. If you go to free/g/gst-plugins-bad0.10/ for the actual areml.deb file and you could possibly need to go to http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle-update2/free/w/wildmidi/ for the libwildimidi0 armel.deb file also.

Run dpkg -i on any dependencies before doing the same for gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-extra and then apt-get install decoders-support should work fine ;)

2010-02-10 22:34 UTC

At this point any problems you are experiencing have more to do with the Media Player itself than Extra Decoders Support. It's not Media Player's fault explicitly, but it's a fact that it doesn't support seeking in most of the additional file formats.

There's only two more things on the roadmap (no release schedule), which is streamlining installation so it's more robust, and adding Wavpack support.

In the mean time you can donate using PayPal http://stateless.jogger.pl/files/decoders_donate.html

I've already received 4 EUR! :)

These are really useful, however there's one annoyance that I've had since the very first time I watched a flv video with it: I can't fast-forward or rewind with flv files.

With or without ffw/rew, it's a must-have though.

Others have commented on the usefulness of the application. I agree with them of course.

I'd give 6 or even 7 stars if I could for one particular little detail you cared about, Tomasz: Both the package description and the "Display Name" for the application manager are translated in several languages. Only few authors think of this... I loved it when I saw it! Thank you for making your package so professional and user friendly!

Hey Aaron, please refer to the Troubleshooting guide. This is a fairly typical issue.

http://code.google.com/p/extra-decoders-support-for-n900/wiki/Troubleshooting

Also, keep in mind that some formats are not indexed by the Media Player, but can be played using the File Manager, this is a known problem.

Just as an update, decoding of .ts MPEG2 transport streams still fails. (At least when accessed in the Media Player over DLNA, haven't tested if it works when I copy the file over.)

Just one comment on GPU support. GPU does not help in this case. It is the DSP that is accelerating the decoding. The DSP is a TI C64x. The resolution is intentionaly clamped at around the display size as the dsp is not fast enough to do higher resolutions. Also please be aware that the DSP cannot accelerate all of H264 Main and High profile.

I've encounteres some difficulties while updating to this new version, but after removing and reinstalling works very well. I agree with Ivan, a GPU support in video playback would be great, is that possible? Last thing: the resolution limitation is hardware or software?

This allowed me to play certain formats that were unplayable before - however without the GPU support, so the playback was choppy even at low bitrates. Recoding the material in H.264 baseline or MPEG4 did the trick, but it defeats the purpose of having these codecs. Is it possible to have the GPU supported playback when using these codecs?

I retested the codecs on my machine, and I must have mistaken an internet connection problem for the problem that I thought I had with the added codecs. Everything works perfectly. Sorry for speaking up too quickly.

BTW, this works great with zoutube's download feature. It lets you view saved youtube clips in the media player.

Now i just need to find out how to have media player recognize flv's so I don't have to use the file manager to play them.

2009-12-26 18:10 UTC

Andrew, you don't need to manually install any dependencies, they are pulled automatically, otherwise there would be no point in having this packages, would there.

You need to keep in mind that there is no support for H.264 Main or High profiles and those are used for Matroska (MKV) containers usually. Matroska support is there (try to create an MKV file using XviD video and MP3 audio, it does play back), the decoders for most often used video formats in this container are not there. Hopefully "yet".

I apologize for being ignorant, but what is the process of making this work? I installed all the "dependent" deb files in addition to installing this. However, I still can't view any mkv files within the media player. I've tried multiple files as well. Thanks for your help in advance.

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this or not, but this set of codecs breaks the media player's internet radio stations. I appreciate the work that was put into writing support for MKV's and hope that this project matures
