Cannot View Videos With the MPEG Player on Ipod Nano

(1/4) > >>

mr.pretzel:
Ok, first, i successfully installed ROCKBOX on my Ipod Nano without any problems

Doom and other games work great

I then wanted to watch movies so i downloaded WinFF and added the presets that were provided.  I then transfered a newly converted .mpg movie to my Ipod without any problems

however

when i tried to view the video i got this message across my ipod's screen:

Can't Open
/.rockbox/rocks/viewers/mpegplayer

I have gotten this message for every video i tried to play
this even happens when I hold down the center button and go to "OPEN AS" and select the mpegplayer.....

I do not know what the problem is and any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

cool_walking_:
Does the file /.rockbox/rocks/viewers/mpegplayer exist? Note that the .rockbox directory may be hidden, depending on your file manager's settings.

Try extracting a current build onto your player, letting it overwrite existing files (it will not overwrite settings).

Llorean:
The file should be /.rockbox/viewers/mpegplayer, not /rocks/viewers, if memory serves. Something is perhaps wrong with viewers.config.

mr.pretzel:
ummm ok
so i'll just install it again. does that mean i need to install the patch again? and fonts and everything?

thanks for your advice btw :D

zajacattack:
No, just unzip a daily build (or whatever build you were using) again to see if a file was corrupted and if it fixes it.
