Ogm

Will the pandora be able to play OGM files with more than one audio and subtitle tracks and will I be able to switch between them?

 

[grif]

you mean like most media players?

I think VLC can do something like that, so i dont see why not. Since VLC is likely to be ported.

I'm partial so SMplayer, which can very easily do that.

SMPlayer is just MPlayer with a nicer interface. MPlayer has no problem with OGM and MKV containers, and it has already been ported to the hardware. You will be able to play OGM videos with multiple audio / subtitle tracks.

SMplayer makes it VERY easy to switch tracks and remembers your choice the next time you play the same moviel, that's why I mentioned it.

In that vein, how's MPlayer's subtitle support? VLC doesn't do a great job (the font color changes but that's about it), whereas MPC + ffdshow + Haali Media Splitter does better.

Some screenshots to illustrate the difference (first relevant google images results):

that is true, if you look carefully the colours on VLC look more washed out too.

Very good and configurable subtitle support. Try out SMPlayer to get an idea.
