1080i with HDeeTV skin = no avi/wmv playback

Published by: cfz 2009-01-09

the stock project mayhem skin's ok...

i'm trying to find something a little more "wife-friendly" and am trying out the hdeetv skin. however, when i try to play a divx avi or a wmv file, the playback fails (memory problems i think). dvd isos still work great though.

anything i can tweak? how about any other skins that people recommend?

thanks!

the skin doesn't have a 1080i folder, so i've got other issues with it (small fonts). << it doesn't need one infact.

Everything is automatically scaled up. (how ever usally you have a 1080i folder wiht just a fonts.xml as fonts do not scale, thats why they small looking.

However USE 720P if you can or lower. 1080i is overkill and a waste of memory etc thats why nothing probley works for you.

So turn on all the servers (ftp, http, etc.) again and TURN off 1080i :)

No bug here, just a limit in the hardware. The best thing to do is GET OUT OF 720P.

ok, i turned off all the servers (ftp, http, etc.) and now i can play the files. it's obviously a memory issue.

i might try tweaking it, or finding a different skin.

You mean GET OUT OF 1080i.
