Hacking iPlayer Plugin Question

[Inuuto]

Does the iPlayer video plugin for the Supercard DSTWO support .mp4 video files? If so, will it support a 480p video with AVC codec?

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

nope the iplayer doesn't support mp4. I haven't seen an update for that thing in over a year.

Thanks for the reply. Now I have to convert all of my media files.

Mp4 is MPEG-4, and since it supports MPEG why not give it a try.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

MPEG-4 AVC (or MPEG-4 Part 10 or H.264) is not listed as a format that it supports.

Q: What video format does iPlayer support?
A:iPlayer support almost all popular video format. AVI, RMVB, RM, FLV, ASF, MPG, WMV, MP3, include the DivX & XviD.

The use of MPEG is this case is for mpeg files with extensions of MPG, not refering to MPEG as a class of MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-3 and MPEG-4.

You guys are all talking about iPlayer, the cartridge.

This thread is about iPlayer, the Supercard DSTWO plugin.

Here: http://eng.supercard.sc/manual/dstwo/plugin.htm

It is practically the same plugin.

DSTWO iPlayer v1.0(2010-11-11) Download
Video: RMVB/RM/FLV/WMV/ASF/AVI and etc (the resolution 640x480 can be played smooth, and supports .srt sub file)
Audio: MP3/WMA/APE/FLAC and etc.

Neither support MP4, the DSTWO iPlayer plugin hasn't had an update in 3 years.

That kind of sucks. :\

unfortunately iplayer has much lower compatibility from what i expected. my 240p flv videos downloaded from youtube works fine. though 480p flv videos lag so much. i don't think it will be able to decode 480p AVC.

it would be really great, if someone was interested in developing this. i can only hope.

The Supercard team has been pretty quiet. I really do hope that they update the iPlayer plugin or someone shows interest in developing it.

i have downloaded a few 240p .mp4 files from youtube. iplayer successfully played them after i renamed them to .avi. so file browser just doesn't recognize the .mp4 extension.
