Users / When will there be Divx dvd support?

« on: March 26, 2008, 05:46:10 pm »

I have alot of divx and avi's on dvd-r's... when I insert them into my linuxmce machine, it doesnt recognize them at all... Is there a way to do this? or do I have to go into KDE to add these to the hard drive so it will be recognized in there? and can I organize them into separate folders in the /videos/ folder?

is the newest version of linuxmce more stable than the last? I have 7.04.. should I upgrade it?

Users / Does all my media (divx, mp3's, etc.) have to be ripped to the hd to work in MCE

« on: March 09, 2008, 08:53:06 pm »

I cannot figure this out... first.. what file system should I have my usb drives formatted to to be recognized by linux mce? like if I had an external hard drive with all my media on it, would linux mce AUTOMATICALLY pick it up and make it accessible? and with what file system?

2nd.. I cannot get ANY media except for DVD's to play from the dvd drive.. I thought you were supposed to be able to put in a disk of media, and have it play.. it doesnt (for me anyway)... which leads me to my main question....\

FOR MEDIA TO BE ACCESSIBLE FROM LINUX MCE, DOES IT HAVE TO BE ON THE HD? and WILL NETWORK SHARES (IF i SHARE SOMETHING FROM A WINDOWS MACHINE) AUTOMATICALLY SHOW UP WHEN LINUX MCE STARTS?

someone pppllleeeaaasssseeee help... I have been trying to figure this out for 2 weeks now.. PLLEASSSEEE

Users / cant get dvd's with divx files on them to play in LinMCE 7.04

ok.. I have been messing around with this... this is what I have setup in my house and how I want it to work:

I have a Linux MCE box hooked straight up to my tv, internet connection is coming from my router..

I have a 2nd pc, that is running windows, and 3 HD's.. 2 internal, 1 external.. These have lots of videos and media in them.. also hooked to router

I also have a vveeerrrryyy large collection of divx, avi, and hella video files.. movies, skate videos, south park, etc..

I want to be able to access the media on my windows box from my linux mce box, and play that on the tv...

I also cannot get my dvd's with the video files on them to play... when I go to video, it doesnt list anything... when I put the dvd in, it says it cannot play it...

how do I correct these issues?
