The included application.xml doesn't match with some specifications of the new Addon manager, so you will receive an error while opening the Addon menu.
To resolve it, just go to "/apps/mkvtoolnix" and rename/delete "application.xml". Then you can open the new Addon manager.

Edit:
Now as the Addon manager is working, I saw that you can select the latest version 4.9.1 there (+ a working application.xml). So don't use the links above, use the Addon manager and all is working fine.
Stefan, thanks for all your work! :)


Edit2:
It throws an error:
Code: Select all
# mkvmerge
mkvmerge: error while loading shared libraries: libogg.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The folder "/apps/mkvtoolnix_nocomp/lib" is empty.
Moved on to the RaspberryPi + xbian (XBMC).
Thank you all for 2 great years and all your work to provide such fantastic firmware. Also a big thank you to the guys in the DD thread for all their ongoing support.
Good luck to all of you and perhaps we will see us in any Raspberry forum, cheers :-)

The two mkvtoolnix apps currently on the Addons Manager are broken. I added the missing libraries, however the build process fails because of the size of the resulting app.bin. I'll have someone look at it.

hi there,

got a question about wdtv and mkv-files... i noticed that wdtv won´t play every mkv-file, and as i noticed from reading this forum, mkvtollnix is created to make the nonplayable mkv-files playable on the wdtv, correct me if i´m wrong..
now i installed the mkvtoolnix on my wdtv, but as i already figured out, there is not interface to work with, at least i didn´t find one...
so my question is, IS these an interface to work with or do i have to work via telnet (wich i´m not so firm with)? what else can i do to watch my mkv-files, maybe you noticed i´m not the most expierienced user...

thanks in advance for your tipps and hints and help.


regards

Hi there..

MKVtoolnix provides us with 'mkvmerge', which can be used with the .mkv files, the WD TV Live cannot playback. As far as I've gathered, it is a bug within the earlier official firmwares that makes the WD TV Live unable to play .mkv files with header compression. I've used mkvmerge with several .mkv files succesfully. While there might exist a more automated solution to the problem, I can only help you with removing header compression for individual files:

The following has worked for me :)

Code: Select all
mkvmerge -o "[FILENAME]_fix.mkv" --engage keep_bitstream_ar_info -A -S --compression -1:none "[FILENAME.mkv]" -D -S --compression -1:none "[FILENAME.mkv]" -A -D --compression -1:none "[FILENAME.mkv]"


Good luck with it :)

ok,

thank you for that quick reply...

do i just copy that into the telnet interface (and fill in the filename instead of"filename)?

how do i copy something in the telnetinterface? strg+v doesn´t work...

God, I´m a noob... :roll:

Yeah, that's all you need to do. I'm assuming that 'strg' equals 'ctrl'. What system are you on and which client are you using to connect to telnet? I'm on a mac, but I can try to help with the pasting if you're using Windows?

yes, i´m on windows, and i use the wdlxtv webinterface with the built-in telnet client. and yes, the strg (german "Steuerung") is ctrl on english keyboard layout..

don´t know the name of the built-in telnetclient..
