.mp4 playback?
« on: April 29, 2007, 02:10:29 PM »
Hi, is there any way to play .mp4 videos on a rockbox'd Ipod Video 60GB? I really don't want to have to re-rip my movies.


Thanks
~Blair~

No.

(You can boot into the Apple firmware for this of course)

Is there a way I can boot into the apple firmware, reboot into rockbox without re-installing the boot loader?

When I did this...it just went to the Ipod firmware, but I can't get it back to rockbox conveniently without deleting my .rockbox folder, replacing it, and reinstalling the boot loader. How do I get back into rockbox without the huge inconvenience?

reboot the ipod by holding down Menu + Select.

And please have a look into the manual, this is explained there.

That would not have helped since the OP did not try resetting the machine.
