bgrade Guest | I tried to play it in my Real Player 8 Plus. But it just said that " realplayer needs to download new software to play this clip”, after i clicked “ok” it just said " Currently AutoUpdate hsa no plug-in available to play your selection." . What should I do to play this *.rmvb file?
if some plug-ins have to be installed... can anyone tell me which plug-ins to be installed? Thx.

If it doesn’t work, go here:
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs
and get this .dll:
drv43260.dll
I’ve never used Real Player 8 Plus, but browse through the folder for it. That folder should be in the Programs directory. Do you see a folder (in the Real Player 8 Plus folder) that says Codecs, or something? If so paste the drv43260.dll in that folder. If not, you should be able to identify which is the correct place to place the drv43260.dll.
Open the Real Player and see if you can now play the RMVB file(s).

bgrade Guest | I can play the .rmvb file with my realplayer now, although i have to open it by opening from the realplayer(meaning if i double-click the .rmvb file, the realplayer still said “realplayer needs to download new software to play this clip”.. )
Thx Frightfo0 very much for great help!!
p.s. i just downloaded the
RealPlayer9 Win32 codecs (including RV40) 380k 5634600ac24a337be2126229bcc1fe46
pack and copy all the .dll file into the realplayer folder... won’t it affect the program?

Hehe, they’re exactly the same ones I use for playback on RMVB on modded Xboxes :-)

Regular Rep: 0Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 615 OFFLINE | You need the latest CVS build of Xbox Media Player (XBMP) (although I think Xbox Media Center (XBMC) also supports it and it’s probably the same method for installing).
Anyways, here we go:
First, you’ll have to install and configure an IRC client and an FTP client:
www.mirc.com
www.flashfxp.com
You may also need to install WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/), so you can extract things.
Then connect to Efnet and join the channel - #xbins
Read the MOTD (Message Of The Day/Topic) and read any instructions that are displayed. It’ll give some commands and stuff. Put the command in, then another window will pop-up where further instructions come up, telling you how to access the FTP. This FTP is where you can download the very latest CVS builds of XBMP OR XBMC.
Read this FAQ on upgrading XBMP. It’s pretty straight forward:
http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/info_faq.htm#16
After installing and deleting the “0face007” folders under E:\UDATA & E:\TDATA on your Xbox, it’s then time to install the DLLs:
Download the 'RealPlayer9 Win32 codecs (including RV40)' file and extract it. Then copy the 'cook3260.dll' and 'drv43260.dll' over to your XBMP 'dll' folder:
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/
Now rename the extension of the .RMVB video files to .RM, then FTP the files over to your Xbox etc.
So, for example, this:
'Home Made Video.rmvb' would be renamed to 'Home Made Video.rm'
Small guide on how to show/change extensions:
http://www.pixvision.com/PVSBug.nsf/0/4ce2c9152505ab4b85256bfe006689ca?OpenDocument
.RMVB is renamed to .RM because the Xbox can sometimes crash trying to read from a file with the .RMVB extension.
Reboot and that’s about it. Done :-)

Regular Rep: 0Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 615 OFFLINE | There are a few programs that can extract from TAR files (Tars are archive/packages for files. They’re like Zip files).
You could install WinRAR, but it’s only limited trial software which must be purchased in the long-run. Another freeware program that can do it is 7-Zip.
Try WinRAR first:
http://www.rarlab.com/ - WinRAR
http://www.7-zip.org/ - 7-Zip
Once WinRAR is installed right-click on the file and choose 'Extract files...' or 'Extract to [directory name]' and either choose where you want to extrat the files, or just let the program choose a location.
The resulting file might need further extracting (I can’t remember if it does), but again if need be, extract again. until you get the file lot of .dll files.
I haven’t personally used 7-Zip, but if you want to try that in the future, when the trial time for WinRAR has expired, download if from the stie. It’s totally freeware.

Gong Guest | Ok thx frighto0. Ok now ive extracted and err placed it into plugins (which im assuming is where it goes). but still the video says i needs to download another software which it cant find - and now it is rv30 not rv40. What is happening?
| |
| 17 Mar 2004 04:35 am |
Gong Guest | And if i get the right codec, which folder do i place it in? There is no codec folder, so im confused. Would you be able to explain these? thx, its just that ive never done this sort of thing b4.
