iPod video 5.5G Videos wont load =(
« on: March 23, 2009, 02:59:05 PM »
So I have rockbox added now and I am trying to play videos but I cannot seem to get them to load up.

I even created a new folder called movies in the iPod driver directory and copied the movie files over to that movie folder directory. Also making sure they were mpeg/mp4 ipod video format.

I booted up the rockbox and everything works fine. I went to Files from the Main directory and choose the Movies folder and selected one of the movies and it opened up like it was going to open a audio file and after about 4 seconds it returns to the Main directory and no movie is loaded...


Any ideas? Anything I need to clarify up for you guys?

Rockbox only plays MPEG1 and MPEG2 video files. See the PluginMpegplayer page for more information, and how to transcode your videos.
