Hi:
SORRY for this post, but in some forums I can read that RPI play DIVX3 by software and other can´t.
I have a lot of video files (almost 18 TB), old video files have DIVX3 codec but all of them are SD or less. Can the RPI play this content using software decoding? If this is true, in wich flavor? (Raspbmc,openelec, etc)
THANKS AGAIN, probably this was answered but I can find a coherent answer

Yes. Use latest milhouse (openelec) or miappa (raspbmc) build.
You can context menu then play using dvdplayer.
Software decode of divx3 works fine as SD resolutions.

THANKS A LOT!!!!! Any script to automatize this? 60% of time XBMC it´s used by my 6 and 3 years old sons (yes, XBMC it´s wonderfull!) to view children movies and this is the most common DIVX3 codec (old time children movies and cartoon) . THANKS AGAIN!

Just make dvdplayer the default in advancedsettings.xml, instructions are in the release posts.
