To make a long story short: Is there a way to watch MP4 videos on an XO-1.75 at this point in time? :-)
The Marvel SOC has hardware accelerated decoding and encoding to the point it can play high definition video. See http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/11686 for enabling this hardware. The Raspberry PI and the cubox both have similar hardware. Look to those projects for hints about where to get the software codecs compiled for ARM. My feeling is the processor will struggle decoding even moderate resolution h.264 without the hardware acceleration.
A friend is looking at getting the hardware acceleration stuff working on the XO, it is apparently complicated because the kernel for which Marvel released their drivers is quite different to that in 11.3.1. I'll catch up with him tomorrow and see what progress he has made on the 12.1.0 kernel.
