Wmv?

[bennyboy]

on the gp2x.com specification page it says

MPEG 4, Dvix 3.11,4x,5x, and Higher, XVID, WMV(7,8,9 Later On) Playback

Does this mean that wmv playback support will be added eventually or what?

Thats what they're saying. Wether it will ever happen or not is anyones guess.

 

[bennyboy]

wow! i definitly hope so!

Though the guess of most people is that it will never happen...

 

[jlebrech]

it just means its possible to do if they get a license to do it.

But then linux users will be ripping the library file and wrapping it up to use on pc's so i guess it wont happen.

As far as I can tell and correct me if I am wrong, but I beleive that mplayer (Which is what the gp2x uses right?) for the PC (Win,Lin,Mac) can play some WMV with added DLLs hence wmv working a bit on XBMC. But I can guess that newer versions of WMV will not work for quite some time if ever.

I think there is a buggy WMV player in the archive, try using that.

I dont see why anyone would even want that properitairy shitt...
