For the next version of rockbox I wanna see is more supported video formats, such as WMV. AVI, MP4 and a few others. That would be awesome

This forum is not for just saying "I want X", the point is to discuss a feature that you intend to actually work on.

More video formats has been asked for many times and the answer is the same: as soon as someone does it, it'll get done. If you want that to happen sooner, learn the required skills to work on it yourself.

It was a typo, My keyboard sometimes dosen't pick up all keystrokes, that's why the A didn't get in there. My apologies.

I was talking about things like "Got y" and not "Got you", "Idk" and not "I don't know" etc.

I want 'X' too and even intend to do 'X' at some point. Even in the first place I did a small bit of the advance work in anticipation of doing 'X'. If there are any highly recommended libs for helping accomplish 'X', I am open to suggestions.
