== Further information ==

Adapted from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html

=== Adding third-party media support ===

Matroska files require: gstreamer0.10-plugins-good-extra
Matroska files also require to be run on terminal as root:
/usr/bin/tracker-register-mimetype -c Videos -a video/x-matroska

Flv files require: gstreamer0.10-flv

To play VP6 inside flv or any format not supported (but supported by mplayer/vlc) by the media player, you need to install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg.

External subtitles cannot be played by the media player, this requires a new media player but that can be based on GStreamer. This would require the subparse element from gst-plugins-base compiled for the device. ( http://maemo.org/packages/view/mafw-gst-subtitles-applet/ ? )
