[mythtv-users] [OT] Is MPEG4 supported by xbmcmythtv?

[Terry Yee]

xbmc-mythtv just uses the version of mplayer residing in xbmc...to my
knowledge it is possible to play mpeg4 using xbmc's mplayer, i think
wherever you heard that xbmc-mythtv can only play mpeg2 was misworded,
 what they wanted to say was that it can't play the rtjpeg or nuv
files created by non-hardware encoder tuner cards.  My guess is that
your problem resides elsewhere, try double checking your settings. 
The problem i ran into that was stopping me from playing recordings
was that the path to my recordings share was wrong, because the %h
hostname variable in the path was not resolving to the correct ip
address, the solution was just to put the ip address in the spot where
%h was.  But then again you might have another problem
