opie player2 - streaming and other issues

Dear members,

I am new to this forum.. and I joined it because I need help regarding the
mediaplayer of OPIE. I am totally new to the software field and hence facing
several problems ..=)

I am basically working on a mobile reference platform board, which uses the
opie 1.2.0 environment. The mediaplayer 1 that comes together with opie
1.2.0, when i tested it on my reference platform, had the following
performance. It refused to play video (any format) and only .mp3 and .wav
audio files played.

After learning that there was an opieplayer 2, I decided to import the
codecs into the current filesystem that I would port to the board. I saved
the codecs to the plugins folder. I got them from the ipkgfind.com website.
This time the performance was as follows. It still refused to play video,
but played .ogg audio files in addition to .mp3 and .wav audio files.

In terms of streaming, the performance did not change whether i used the new
opie player 2 codecs or not. It played precisely just one .ogg streaming
file that i obtained (http://auggie.wclv.com/lo.ogg). All other .ogg and
.m3u streaming files i tried (
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Oct/0097.html) gave me a
segment error, SIGFPE and terminated the application completely.

My aim is to get the player working, i.e to be able to play video files and
most importantly be able to stream. According to what I have read in forum
posts and the opie home page, player2 should be able to do all of the above.
Am I including the player2 codecs in the wrong folder?

If any of you could help me I would be more than grateful! Thank you..

Sincerely,
Raji
