Video player with audio switching (GTVBox/ViMu Player)

[mcd2000]

Try to change extension to something other then AVI or DIVX.

It's ok... is not critical. I just wanted to let you know that those specific files were not working with your player. I'm back to v0.82. I was able to watch the movie using the Logitech Player, so I currently have no need for a fix. Maybe in a future update you'll incorporate support those files. Thanks for your help.

Actually, I asked this as a teat case to make sure that I know the problem. So, I can fix it.
If something works in LMP and does not in gtvbox.... Well, this sucks.

You can try reversing some of the updates that you made from v0.80 to v0.82 until you find the change that caused the problem with the DIVX 4 files. I'm still a loyal client. My primary player is still GTVBox because I mostly use SMB shares. I hate the complexity that DLNA (indexing) adds to the media players.

Hello I bought the GTVBox for Google TV (Logitech Revue) and when I open it, I scan for uPnP, it finds my uPnP server, and then I click it and Browse Folders and nothing happens... the circle just spins and spins and spins and nothing is found. It works perfectly fine with my Logitech Media Player however. What could be the problem???

Thanks

Chris

Skipping seems to work with MKV files on the Review with the Google 3.2 upgrade and GTVBox latest version!

I don't know if it is due to the Google upgrade or the latest GTVBox version, but I tested on a few MKV files and I can FF to the end of files now.
Before it would hang for a few minutes while it would catch up. Now it works like I'd expect it to work.

This not only one playback improvement in 3.2 update. I'll make an overview after some more tests.

Also, since the next update GTVBox will require 3.2 OS to run. So, I suggest all users to upgrade OS on Revues.

just updated from 0.53 ver to 0.82
mkv with DTS audio are not play at all unlike previous version you had the video only.

does it mean that 3.2 updated do not support DTS?

btw love the new interface

thanks, Pete

Yep. Revue still do not support DTS. But... Hmm... It should play video.

will the gtvbox support DTS to pcm\stereo on the fly?

Maybe if NDK will be avaliable....

Hi all,
I am receiving some live TV streams courtesy of Sopcast. Unfortunately, Sopcast for Android does not work on the Revue. I have Linux server that streams it throughout the house, and I can open it with VLC or Mplayer, by asking the players to play "htp://192.168.1.1:1000".
I am not very knowledgeable about video formats. I want to transcode or otherwise convert the stream so that GTVBox would play it.
Here is what mplayer says about the stream:

How can I transcode the video stream, using anything on the Linux server, so that it can be played on the Revue? (Obviously, in GTVBox.)
