Support for additional video and audio decoders in the Media Player
Uses GStreamer decoders and tracker mimetype registering tool * AC-3 audio in video files support * Vorbis OGG and FLAC support (via ogg-support) * Musepack support * RealMedia formats support * Matroska container support (most video formats used for Matroska unsupported!) * Flash Video container support * MPEG2 Transport Stream support * WebM support
Video resolution over 848x480 pixels is still unsupported!

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

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.
nice work. I think im doing something wrong when I open up my player in try to go to music it say no songs but if I go to the audio file I can play them fine, should it be this way? It worked before I install Extra Decoders , is there something I can do to fix this?

Must-have package! Most media files will play just fine with it.
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.
Thank you for having and enjoying this, that's awesome!
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?
one of my favorit apps! some codecs still missing but i'm sure it's only a question of time. i can play vids i weren't able to play without converting -> ***** :D
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?
Can't play MPEG2 Transport Streams recorded on my Sat receiver via UPnP in Canola.
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.
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.
Works for me! I havent's encountered the bug reported by Sterling w, i can play internet radio through my Media Player well. Nice job
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
how can i play flv? try file manager, browser and media player, but didn't recognize .flv
