.mov file playback in "Videos" - no audio - 1.2.9

[JohnInSJ]

First off, I've not updated to 1.2.13, so if that's the easy answer, that's fine.

Ok - trying to use http://www.getmiro.com/ - miro - as my "web video rss downloader" and then use gbpvr's "videos" function to view the videos by pointing the config dir at the download dir for miro...

Miro downloads videos, check.

Attempt to play videos back in gbpvr... er, mixed results

Example of a nice hi-def video feed is Techzilla: http://revision3.com/tekzilla/
They produce quicktime .mov files

Video plays back fine, but no audio.

Er, ok, more of them have come in... no audio on any
.m4v
.mp4
.mov

All of them play back with audio *within* miro, so they contain audio. Just have to convince gbpvr to play em back with audio. Any thoughts?

Any pointers on how I might get that going would be appreciated.

More info - vlc plays them, windows media player has no audio (ah... yep) - on the mp4s the audio channel is mp4a

Looks like I'm missing some audio codecs?

When it comes to these type of files GB-PVR doesnt attempt to choose which decoders are used, instead it just lets Windows choose. If you're not getting any audio then you either have no audio decoder installed for that type of audio, or the bad system default decoder for that type of audio.

Getting audio in Miro doesnt mean compatible audio decoders are one your machine - I'm fairly sure its includes its own embedded decoders not available to other applications. A better test would be whether Windows Media Player gives audio (since its directshow based, like GB-PVR).

Yep. I got there myself right after you posted. Okedoke, it's my problem then. Thanks!

Google "Quicktime Alternative"

Looks like the K Lite Mega Codec Pack is the ticket...

Downloaded, installed, crossed fingers....
Ok, everything's a go except the m4v files from JPL... mp4a audio, windows is running that thru the cyberlink decoder, and it's not getting the job done

Ah weird... playing those *once* in QTPlayer got windows to redo the code map, and now the aac decodes are happening

Joy. Nothing like looking at those HD videos from NASA/JPL - GBPVR, is there anything it can't do?
