Hello,
I recently got help from this forum and updated my xbmc frodo to kodi Isengard and now I have a follow-up question. I have a movie in .ISO format, roughly 40GB and when I try to play the movie I can only hear the audio but there is no video. What settings do I need to change to enable the video or do I need to buy a license key? I am using a Raspberry Pi.



Thanks,
HI.

BluRay ISOs can be H.264, MPEG2 or VC-1. H.264 is the most common and is supported by default. The other two codecs require a (cheap) codec licence.
Use mediainfo on the ISO, or post a debug log (wiki) to confirm what the codec is.

It's VC-1, Can you point me to where I need to buy the license? Once I have bought it, I would need to update the config file similar to other licenses? I currently have the following two licenses lines in the config file.

decode_MPG2=XXXX
decode_WVC1=XXXX

OK, I found where I need to buy the key... http://www.raspberrypi.com/vc-1-license-key/

How to find the serial number of the Pi? I did see few posts commenting like this


pi@raspberrypi:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
Processor : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l)
BogoMIPS : 697.95
Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java tls
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant : 0x0
CPU part : 0xb76
CPU revision : 7

Hardware : BCM2708
Revision : 1000002
Serial : 000000000000000d

But I am not sure where I need to enter the command. Apologize if these questions seems naive, the raspberry pi I have is running OSMC.


Thanks,

Yes, VC-1 will need the decode_WVC1=XXXX to be set appropriately (i.e. with the hex number you purchased and and ensure the initial # is removed).

Thanks! How to find the serial number?

It shows in System Info/Hardware. Or you can ssh in and run:

Code:

grep Serial /proc/cpuinfo

Thanks I will check it when I get home.

Dint realize that I already had the VC1 license key but ended up buying it again. When I rebooted the Pi the movie is now working okay.
