[maemo-developers] Streaming video through Gstreamer

[From: Darius Jack]

Hi,

today I tested Media Streamer (in player)
and it works fine with mp3 files.
Some problems with avi files, failed to open any.
Can you tell me what video file format, codecs are supported ?
Just downloaded some demo avi files from the net and none opened in
Media Streamer, buferring was ok and then error message.

btw
is Media Streamer a stream player or both (run from a command line).
If the first option is valid , as I assume.
How to run Media Streamer from a command line ,
or how to make Mplayer to play audio files from Samba server (ftp)
It opens http:/...../*.mp3
but can't play ftp://....?*.mp3
Ok.
Another open option is to use Media Streamer in command line
is option is open.
Please refer me to a nice place, providing more details
(already visited Google).

Darius
