Missing Plugins in Rockbox Distribution?

(1/2) > >>

maretard:
I downloaded Rockbox about a week ago, and have sorted out a few bugs by turning on/off a few settings. I'm very happy with the firmware, as it's much more user-oriented than the original Iriver crap (I have an Iriver H10 20gb). However, I recently wanted to view video on my H10, and I found the plugin mpegplayer on the twiki here; However, the twiki specifically states that plugins come bundled with the Rockbox software. I checked my Rockbox plugins and the first plugin I have is the battery benchmark, and I only have about 20 or so, while the plugin list on the twiki spans for at least 40 or 50. I tried updating to a daily build, as the H10 doesn't have an official release yet, but the same plugins were missing in the new downloaded zip file. What am I doing wrong?!? Is the H10 firmware distribution supposed to be missing that many plugins? Or am I just doing something stupid, as usual?
Thanks for the help!
(Oh, and the main help I'm looking for is how to get mpegplayer to work/show up. Thanks!)

safetydan:
Please read the manual, or the wiki page http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginMpegplayer. They both have the information you need. You can just "open" an suitable video file and it will start playing.

maretard:
I did, and I realize that my question was a tad stupid ^_^
However, another problem has arisen - After encoding the file with the VLC-transcode.bat file and transferring the file to my Iriver, I can Open With => mpegplayer, but the screen goes empty, and a message appears that says "Buffering..." after which the player suddenly returns to the file browser/database screen.
o_O?!?

DanManners:
Then the conversion odviously didn't entirely work, or you had a setting a tad off. THat's what always happens to me.

Llorean:
If you need to "Open With" rather than simply clicking it... is it actually a .mpg?

The .bat used to create m2v files which aren't what the current mpegplayer uses.
