toker509:

So what additional codecs does this support? What is different in this then the standard music/movie player?

Baldeagle:

Even with this app I have yet to get the Caanoo to play any type of video file.

Baldeagle:

Aha. It'll play MPEG II. Good quality too.

com64:

lavc audio, lavc video, and ssa subtitles work well. mencoder input.avi -oac lavc -ovc lavc -sub subs.ssa -o output.avi -vf scale=320:240

Fluiquid:

This is a lot better than the built in movie player. If I don't convert my movies to 320x240 it will show up with grey bars on the caanoo movie player, but on mplayer it will play it right, even if its 16:9.

StickmanL:

Would it be possible to add an option to flip the video playback? Since I'm often playing videos off of a thumb stick, I can't prop the Caanoo up to watch videos. This would be remedied if I could rest the Caanoo upside-down.

ikari:

StickmanL, open conf/mplayer.conf with UTF-8 supported text editor such as Notepad++, and add vf="flip,mirror" (See https://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.txt for more information.) But currently its bit buggy, and the OSD Menu/Messages/Subtitles are not rotated with this option.

ikari:

Modify : Add vf="flip,mirror,noformat=yv12" to your conf/mplayer.conf. Because its more stable.

StickmanL:

Thanks!

wyatt415:

The only format I can get to play properly are WMAs, and even then I can only get certain ones to play (season 5 of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" plays, but the earlier seasons don't). Is there any way to fix this? I am currently ripping videos off the internet with Real Player and converting them to WMAs.

StickmanL:

wyatt415, have you tried using Badak (https://eng.kipple.pe.kr/doc/badak/) to convert your files? It'll resize everything to the native resolution of your Caanoo in avi format by default.

wyatt415:

Awesome. That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for the information.

thcfreak:

Dosen�t support Avi files.

RetroVortex:

New version (september 2nd) is quite a bit faster, interface wise. After some experimenting, I've found the best size:quality method is to use Handbrake with these settings: Container: MP4 Picture Width: 320 (If keep aspect ratio is on, it will automatically set the appropriate height) Video codec: MPEG-4 Constant Quality: 8 (Lessen if you want better quality video at cost of filesize) Audio Codec: AAC Samplerate: 24 (Setting samplerate lower has caused "essing" for me. Which is pretty damn annoying!) Bitrate: 128 Then rename the final .M4V (or .MP4) file to .Avi Leaving it as a MP4 for me caused it to be unwatchable, yet after renaming the extension, it played perfectly fine.

Kayuz:

thx for the tip! :)

promisedplanet:

I followed RetroVortex's specs but get "Error! Initialization Failure" when I try to play the file. Frustrating.

promisedplanet:

Using Badak (StickmanL's recommendation), I get an AVI file that can be played with the built-in player, but NOT with MPlayer. Ho geez.

fenixero:

It works great, but when trying to play MP3 music with the lyrics attached (lrc file) breaks the program (this does not happen with MP3 music without lyric lrc appended) great work!!!!

ikari:

fenixero, you have to convert lrc file to UTF-8. Otherwise it can be break.

ikari:

Also, you could change font when the text are not properly displayed. Copy .ttf file to font/ dir and change menu font/sub font on options menu.

dstrother:

Hello, is there a newer version of this media player :)
