Indeo 5?

[Meme01]

Googling through the archives, I found a post from a while back in which one person said that they got XBMC to support Indeo and submitted a patch. The docs say that XBMC doesn't support Indeo 5, however, and I can't seem to play Indeo 5 vids. When I tried, I got a whole bunch of stuff like this in the logs:

... etc. It then gets to this:

XBMC's behavior after this point varies. Sometimes I have to reboot it, sometimes I have to wait for the music vid to end (no video, of course), and sometimes I can cancel out.

Is it possible to support Indeo 5?

is Indeo actually supported by MPlayer? If not then you will need to go ask the MPlayer devs for it, the XBMC devs don't really add "codec support" in that manner because of how Mplayer and XBMC tie together.

It is. I can play the vids just fine on my PC and my laptop.

post a debug log from playing it back unsuccessfully in XBMC. Do not edit the log file and post what you think is relevant.
