If these drivers work but don't help your video files, you could transcode then to a format that is accelerated by the VMETA hardware. youtube's format 18 videos play well on an XO-1.75 with these drivers, I use youtube-dl -f 18 video url to get them and then play in a video player. They don't play well in any browser I've tried. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

The SKU228 12.1.0 customised build 10 should be considered to be after 12.1.0 build 21 for the purposes of such comparison. Also, as it was a customised build, it is difficult to know exactly what was in it as far as drivers go. ;-) I've been told by one of our developers that ogv or mp4 at 720x480 and up to around 3 Mb/s bitrate is a suitable target for creating video for XO-1.75 playback. XO-1 has quite different performance because of the availability of MMX for decoding. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Hi, In sugar or gnome?With which activity/program open the .ogv files? Regards!

Re: Video on XO 1.75 (URGENT)
It would be instructive to see if the same .ogv files play correctly on 13.1.0, because I think some work was done on the problem since 12.1.0. XO-1 and XO-1.75 have very different video drivers and hardware, so a difference is not unusual. Can you provide a sample file for testing? (For interest of other devel@ subscribers, XO-1.75 SKU228 included a new eMMC chip that required a kernel patch 2f6e633, which is why the released build for 12.1.0 can't be used on these units.) -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
