Guest gingercat Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Just tested mounting a CIFS share, and fired up some .mkv x264 files over the network, using the stock player, and surprise surprise, they now load! Don't get sound though, but this is very promising!
Guest gingercat Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 SWEET! ;) P p.s. THANK YOU very much for all your hard work on this.
Guest Paul Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 No problem. ;) Glad you appreciate it! P

Don't get sound though, but this is very promising! Well.... great, but I'm not sure how that started working, last time I checked (pre 1.08) we didn't have any mkv parsers in stage fright or opencore. *confused*
Guest steviem Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 what is the audio in? If it's AC3, that might be the problem. If you can demux and convert the audio, maybe you'll get sound.
Guest wobblydoggy Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) hmmm my username and password doesnt seem to work when I try mounting a LAN CIFS in Es explorer where would i find this? it's not my main computer login for some reason Edited January 28, 2011 by wobblydoggy

It might not be that though - ES explorer uses samba, and not cifs. Try using 'CifsManager' from the market instead. To get the IP address of yor computer, scan for it, using ES explorer, and then use it in 'CifsManager'. Finally, create the folders required (the ones used for mounting) using a file explorer that has root access, and that should be it! ;)

It says: Mount: connection timed out Any idea what I'm still doing wrong here? How should the settings in cifsmanager be set up...
Guest rferrett Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Oh my, if we get x264 mkv files working on the Vega it wiki be just about perfect! Great work!

It says: Mount: connection timed out Any idea what I'm still doing wrong here? How should the settings in cifsmanager be set up... It seems like the problem is related to your Vega, and its connection to your PC shares. Maybe it's a network settings problem. Edited January 29, 2011 by HunteronX
Guest warriorscot Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Now we just need to get some of the close source audio codecs for AC3 and DTS sound for android onto the vega. If we can do that we should have all the major formats covered.
