Some other media formats
The supported media formats are listed on the activity page; notably including ogg, mp3, mpeg and rm. Some other formats to test as codecs are added:
- Plaza Sesamo 10-20-019 (mov)
MPEG1/2 - how does the support for these formats work? Is there no playback?
Installation
Running Joyride-259 on os625, with firmware q2d04 on a B4, it was possible to install the .xo file simply by navigating to it using the web-browser on the OLPC. --132.185.240.122 09:21, 13 November 2007 (EST)
Does anyone know how to install additional codecs, eg RealVideo? --132.185.240.122 09:21, 13 November 2007 (EST)
Play Theora files using Helix
Can someone post a how-to play a theora file off an sd card. It doesn't seem to work. Does the theora file have to adhere to some certain spec?
