.rvf on X5

[ghuber]

Hi,

I really love rockbox and I was even more fond of it when I discovered it supposedly could play movies as well.

I downloaded the .rvf conversion tools and converted some movies and tried to play them on my iAudio X5.

The first challenge, not seeing the .rvf files, I overcame by a forum search and so I switched on the "display all files". I can see the videos now, but when I press select or move the stick to the right, absolutely nothing happens.

From what I read in the forums, the files should play just well so I am wondering, what I am doing wrong. Even opening a context window "open with..." doesn't show any viewer/plugin to play the movie.

Did I forget to install something? A patch maybe?

Thank you very much for your help

.rvf is the format rockbox uses on the old Archos models for video playback. On an X5 you want to use MPEG1/2 - see the MpegPlayer plugin page in the wiki.

I humbly apologize for my stupidity...

Thank you for your answer.
