Hi all,
I've just built an HTPC, the specs are:
Athlon II X2 250 (3 Ghz, dual core), 2 gigs ram
I'm running the latest stable XBMC Live.
My video out is DVI to HDMI, connected to a 1080p TV.
I have several 720 H.264 videos, when I play them, there's audio, but no video. It appears that XBMC is creating thumbnails of these videos, however (in the menus).
I read here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM....264_Files
That you need to install mplayer-nogui.
I did this (dropped to a root bash shell and installed successfully using:
aptitude install mplayer-nogui
There were no errors during install, and it did install about 10 packages.
After doing so, I rebooted, but still no video.
Any hints?
