Are you using the internal player or mplayer? The internal player should play anything ffmpeg can handle on your system. Try ffmpeg -i <filename> to identify the streams in the file and ffmpeg -formats to see whether your ffmpeg can decode the streams in the mp4.

For some reason, Myth won't play mp4 videos. I recently installed Edgy and Myth .20 from the repos. Everything else works great, but mp4 vids won't play. The screen goes black, the HD light flickers for awhile (as if the file is quickly being scanned) and then the Myth video screen comes back up -- after about 3 minutes for a 90 minute film.
<br><br>These vids played fine when when I was running .20 on Dapper, and they play fine in Totem and VLC.<br><br>Thanks.<br>
