I am trying to evaluate XBMC on Ubuntu, playing 1080p .m2ts/.ts/mkv files. I still have not found my way around XBMC so please help me.
Hardware: asus motherboard w/ onboard nvdia chipset that I know works with VDPAU on minimyth playing all the HD formats.
Symptoms: nothing happens when trying to play .m2ts, .ts, .mkv, or even dvdshrinked .iso
.avi plays fine. VLC will play the .mkv fine, but there is something wrong with the auido. XBMC plays the .avi with proper 5.1 decoding in the amp.
I see in the online docs x264, and .mkv are supported, but I get nothing.
I stared from a minimal ubuntu install, and eventually tired using apt-get to update to the latest SVN. I am not sure if this worked ( it appeared to ) but it didn't change the video play problem.
#1 - What version of XBMC do I need to play .m2ts, etc. files
#2 - Any special configuration required?
#3 - How can I install and verify this version in a foolproof way
Please please help I really like this interface
