Good question! I want to know the answer as well!

Hi there.

I'm not quite sure but it should be from the photo and not n. music

 I have installed the Vista codecs (search on google and you got it) and they work briliantly with the subtitles as well but through the Windows media player.

 Give it a try. Nothing to lose but some time!!!!

Hi there.

The vista codecs is for Windows XP and Vista as well. Don't be confused from the name!!

I was for the first time. They are really brilliant

Hi,

Never really have understood about codec's etc, but my question to you guys is:-

 where do you find the codec's ? And once you have downloaded them.

Where do you put them in your system so that Beoplayer can use them ?

Any help / advice would be appreciated

Best regards

2 questions about the Beoport: version 4.83

 

1. I have read on this forem you can view Mpeg files via N.Music with the right codexs. Where can I find them? Will AVI files also work?

 

2. For Photo’s the My Pictures directory is used. Can you add more directories of network drives as file locations?

 

Kind regards, Edwin

Hello!

1.- AVI or MPEG files works great with Beoport if you use the right codecs (if you can watch the videos with WindowsMediaPlayer, then beoplayer also can), but you must use the PHOTO command-section, not N.Music.

2.- Correct "My pictures" is the default folder, but you can always "drag and drop" any file from any folder, directly over beoplayer and you will get it.

we can watch videos using PHOTO not only with the beoport 4.83 version, but from the very first 4.01 version of beoplayer which had the PHOTO capabilities, some years ago.

"K-Lite mega codec pack" is free and it's a self-installation pack, you must do nothing, only install it by default anywhere in the PC like any other software.

I use it to play any kind of video using beoport PHOTO section and works fine.

1. I have installed Vista codecs rel 5.01. First no sound at some movie types but after reboot of PC fine now.😁 (Win XP sp3).

2. How do I drop any file "over Beoplayer"? I prefer even more dropping a shared network drive over Beoplayer containing all my photo's and video's. Large PC upstairs for storage. Small pc dowstairs hidden away with Beoport to play them on the TV, for N.Music, for  N.Radio.

3. When I have Beoport with IR eye can I select Photo's and start avi's / mpeg with only the BEO4? With the BEO4 on the screen GO doesn't work for starting video (mpeg). Are there commands on the BEO4 for Full screen / hide folder list etc?

Kind regards, Edwin
