Thread: File Types supported in the FrodoPlayer.

I don't know if you have seen this or not, but avaliable from Final Builds You can get "QuickTime Alternative" and "Real Alternative".

QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime files (.mov, .qt and other extensions) without having to install QuickTime Player. It also supports QuickTime content that is embedded in webpages. The QuickTime plugins include iPIX and QuickTimeVR. The QuickTime Browser plugin supports Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla and Netscape.

I just use the DirectShow filters out of the setup and now i can play REAL and Quicktime media through WMP. If you haven't tested it already do so, it works well. Seem you app uses WMP, there should be no problem with getting it to work.

That is exactly how I am supporting them. It will all be in the instructions for 1.0.4

The ability to play native TY streams would be fairly cool for us TIVO freaks.

Hi Frodo,

I can see a lot of supported file types. Why is it that none of my video files (Divx, VCD, SVCD, avi) show up in the video player? When I did the setup, and point it to the Video folder it didn't even scan the video files like the MP3 folder. Did I do something wrong? I have just installed the latest version. Thanks in advance.

Press mode forward or back until you get to video.

Thanks Frodo, got it now. So now when I go into Video Mode, all my video files showed up in the listing window no matter if they are actually divided into 4 different folders ( I have them divided up into folder: Divx, VCD&SVCD, Stream Music Video, Misc). Is this correct? Or is there a way to setup so I can go into individual folder. It looks like that is the way with all my MP3 files too. Thanks in advance. I will post some screen shot in the "install photo" area in a few days.

If you want your mp3 files to not recurse, you can turn off recursion for them in settings.
