Summary: Opie Player 2 Crashes when playing QuickTime movies
Description:
Well ok, I've only tried one Quicktime movie, the small Two Towers teaser
trailer from www.lordoftherings.net, but I got a bus error as soon as it
tried to play it.

where does it say it plays quicktimes?

In the package control file description field and the mime types are setup
for it too.

Plus there appears to be some sort of Quicktime plugin from looking at the
messages it pours out to the terminal. It also correctly identifies the
movie as a Quicktime movie.

Relevant lines from the terminal are:
...
load_plugins: demux plugin found : QUICKTIME
...
xine_play: xine open
/usr/mnt.rom/cf/Documents/video/quicktime/TheTwoTowers_m240.mov, start pos
= 0, start time = 0 (sec)
demux_mpeg: stop...ignored
audio_oss_out: AO_CTRL_FLUSH_BUFFERS
xine: using input plugin >file< for this MRL
(/usr/mnt.rom/cf/Documents/video/quicktime/TheTwoTowers_m240.mov).
using input plugin 'file' for MRL
'/usr/mnt.rom/cf/Documents/video/quicktime/TheTwoTowers_m240.mov'
demux_avi: input capabilities = 649
demux_avi: AVI_init failed (AVI_errno: 9)
system layer format 'QUICKTIME' detected.
Bus error

I guess the actual decoder is not there or something...

the quicktime xine may play may be an older version that the file you are
viewing.

do you have a link to that file perhaps?

from http://dvd.sourceforge.net/xine-howto/en_GB/html/howto-2.html

"Quicktime Sorenson video codec v2 (note newer Quicktime files may not
play)"

Yeah, it looks like it's probably using the new Sorenson SV3 video codec.
Guess we'll have to wait for the xine project to get round to this. Still
an impressive compatibility list and divx works great :-)
