I got a bunch of trailers from apple.com/trailers in the hdmov container and I'm wondering if there is a way to enable them to be played back in xbmc? Currently it can't seem to see them. It can see mkv files though.
Is there a way for me to be able to play those files back? MPlayer in the mythtv front end can see and play them back.
My system is Mythbuntu 8.10 with a amd 4600+ cpu with 2 gb of ram and a 7600GT video card.
HD .mov files play back correctly here (just played the Star Trek 1080p trailer). what do you mean by 'XBMC can't see them' ?
The file extension is .hdmov not .mov. Any idea on how to make it show up?
If it's just a matter of getting xbmc to SEE the files, just add it to the list in XBMC/xbmc/Settings.cpp
to: g_stSettings.m_videoExtensions = ...
then recompile.
If that works, please submit a bug report and patch.

So it's hardcoded in the code? That's not very flexible
Can the dev's add it to some file thats part of the settings that I can then edit in the future? It's not nice when something like this is hardcoded.
Of course I could also just use the mkvtoolnix merge utility to put them in an mkv file instead. I'll try that instead.

BTW, I have added my advancedsettings, to contain some movie ext in my pictures. That will say, I want to be able to watch clips taken with my camera, when watching the pictures.
I can now see the movies, but not play them. Is it possible to do like I did, or do I have to do something else?

Sweet. Lets hope that works then.
Update: did not work.
I set the file /home/username/.xbmc/userdata/Advancedsettings.xml to this:
Quote:<videoextensions>
<add>.hdmov</add>
<remove></remove>
</videoextensions>

I guess its the same as for me then. Can you see the files?
I can see the files, but cant play them. I guess that xbmc isnt programed to play movies in the pictures menu.

Right, music is for music (and mvids) only.

Music?
What I mean is, that I want to be able to play my video clips from my digitial camera, which are in the same folder as my pictures. Shouldnt that be possible in some way?

hmm if that's it, thank you
Will try that then.
Oops, dunno why i said "music", should be pictures ofc. Best practise is to add the given source to the video section to play the recorded videos.

Sure, but mostly I want to play the video with the pictures..
pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg, mov3.mpeg. pic4.jpg.
I think the guys should make that work, and maybe an option NOT to play the movies in a slideshow...
EDIT: Please. =)

Yep that was it. Thanks. So now I have this:
I set the file /home/username/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml to this:

<videoextensions>
<add>.hdmov</add>
<remove></remove>
</videoextensions>
