n900 can play mkv. but at 800x480....and 30fps ....go to maemo talk....but hw to play 720p and 1080p on tv out....help

[qloey]

@6434SUNIL This is not a help center! This demo was to show how Knots can get HD video onto the N900, nothing more. I believe that the N900 is unable to play files with higher resolution that 480 (standard DVD res), so you would have to reencode if you wanted to take HD video on the road with you on your N900.

@88PROMAX

there's an application called tweak flash plugin

install it from the app manager....then access and you'll find it using ver. 10 linux and its recommended

@aboyasser1000 OK THANKS..IS THERE ANY NEW UPDATE RECENTLY??,....IS BEEN A YEAR NOW,....THINKING OF CHANGE A NEW PHONE...

[ipurba]

so, now the thing is ... how to make n900 to be able to play mkv file, i hv tried every solutions on the net, none of them work ... 

[qloey]

@ipurba AFAIK, the N900 will not play files with the MKV extension. But you need to remember, MKV is NOT a codec, it is simply a container. What that means it, you can take the video file out of the MKV container, and then play it on your N900 (that is, assuming the video file is playable on your N900 - XviD or X264, only). How do you do this, then? Use an an app called "AVI-Mux GUI", it's pretty straightforward if you have a little exoerience with this sort of thing.

@ipurba @ipurba Get it here

@qloey

so, i hv downloaded it. and took a try, i assumed that it is not a converter, it is a software to combine several multimedia files (not .mkv), am i right? i tried using my .mkv file and the result has no sound on it.

i hv only .mkv file. if i am making a mistake here, please if you dont mind, give a link to the tutorial, i'd be so grateful

@ipurba Check your private messages.

Its not 1080p if you use knots..... its transcoded down to a lower bit rate and pushed to the N900. Either way your using excessive power to play a video on a samller res device.

[TomaCukor]

why would u want to watch 1080p on 800 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches ???? same for 720p

[qloey]

@TomaCukor Again, we miss the point. Many people download rips of HD movies. With Knots, you can watch even those on your N900. Just like if you reencoded a DVD to watch on the go - except with Knots its live and on the fly.

[casta55]

@TomaCukor You forget that there is a video out cable for the phone that you can plug into your tv ;)

[TomaCukor]

@casta55 ur rite but it will only produce 800 x 480 to the tv .

[TheAndrey]

What are the reasons for lag? Wifi? Or device itself?

[qloey]

@TheAndrey

I think it's due to the transcoding process. As I said below, it gets really jerky when there's lots of action on the screen. 720p is obviously smoother than 1080p.

This demo is really just a proof-of-concept. But as Knots gets better (and your computer gets faster!) this will b a more and more viable solution, I think.

So go ahead and grab those HD rips! *^)

[i0null]

holy crap! that's impressive

[kristoffel78]

You need at least the N standard for wifi to do someting like this!

[bodko9]

these lags on n900 are only at the beginning of this 1080p video ?And could it run full hd video

without streaming ? from micro sd card for example ?

[qloey]

1080 lags pretty badly when you get to some acton in the film. 720 runs ok. But both are transcodes, downsampled on the fly.

The reason this is cool is because if you have some HD content on your HDD, you CAN watch it on the N900 with out taking the time to reencode it yourself. Knots does it for you instantly. Works for DVDs too, (ISO's, etc) on the fly, very nicely.
