I'm not entirely sure what the cause is that this particular stream doesn't work. I have two hypotheses:
a) a problem with the inofficial SDK / the compiling options I used to do the cross compilation
b) a problem with the codecs
If it's (a) it might be solved with the official SDK. I'm at the moment quite sure that I haven't done anything wrong with the cross compilation (I ran out of ideas what could cause it). Although I'm still in the process of compiling mplayer an emulator environment. That is really sloooow. A compilation process which usually takes 5-10 minutes is now running already since about 8 hours. The good news is that I don't have to do anything just be patient. So that will run in the background now a little longer (another program needs to be compiled as well so I won't expect anything in the next days 
This should sort out if the cause is (a) or (b). So what is the codec thing? You remember that you couldn't play my video regarding the note taking? That's a classic codec problem. The codec is, if you like a definition how the video/audio information is stored on the computer. If you don't have the right codec you won't be able to play any video / audio. Now, I've posted were you can get the codecs from. However, it might be possible that those codecs depend on the CPU (processor) and the processor of a computer and the ebook are very different (which you certainly can well understand as no windows programs would run on the ebook). So I'm not sure but it might be that those binary codecs might not be compatible with an ebook processor.
Currently I wait until the compilation in the emulator is complete. Then we'll know for sure if it's a or b. |
many many thanks review, you are always very patient and very clear
