Hi,
I wonder if anyone else here uses xine to play mp4 files? I started
using Handbrake awhile back to rip my DVDs. The default file extension
was m4v so I left it that way and had no problems with xine.
I've just received a new TV full of Open Source software. One of
the things the TV will do is play files off of an attached USB hard
drive, but the TV recognizes a limited number file formats, one being
mp4. My m4v files, when renamed to mp4, play just fine, but are no
longer played by xine.
Anyone have a work around for this?
Thanks,
Mark

DISREGARD!
Xine isn't complaining about the file extension, it's complaining
about the directory name.
Sorry for the noise.
