I did notice that ogv (OGG video) files don't play well - in fact, they start and
then the video starts stuttering and the audio dies and everything freezes.
Can someone please confirm.
VP6 and VP8 are supposed to be supported as well, right ? Other encodings ?
Software video codecs (theora, vp6, vp8, mjpeg) are still in the experimental phase.
Sometimes, (when frames span multiple 80K packets) they stall.
This is a firmware bug, that I need time to investigate.
There is an easier fix, on the xbmc side of using fewer, larger packets for software video codecs
which I may fall back on if the firmware fix is particurly tricky.
I've fixed an issue with software codecs (VP6/VP8/Theora/MJPEG) where the input frames span multiple packets.
You'll need updated firmware. You can download start_x.elf/fixup_x.dat from here:
https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware
or wait for an updated build.
I've also added support for MJEG files without huffman tables, which are quite common form webcams.
