Re: [vdr] Media (.mkv) player on Raspberry Pi2 VDR client
Gerald, You freak out because I suggested an easier solution to yours, and then call me a troll for correcting you on your own nonsense. I hope you don't think you're fooling anyone with that fake b.s. Take your temper tantrums somewhere else, or get lost. == Nicolas, Sorry your thread got polluted with this garbage. Gerald has a history of lashing out at people who disagree with him or have any criticism about yavdr. It's pathetic but hopefully in all the nonsense you've found a solution that suits you. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I didn't say it was a problem, I said it's not what he's asking for. And since you put it that way, not everybody likes a salesman who tries to "upgrade" or "upsell" the customer to a bunch of stuff they didn't ask for in the first place. Why is it so difficult for you to accept there's an simple answer to his simple question that doesn't involve Kodi. > On an RPi? With hardware support? I don't believe that.

I haven't said any solution to his problem is bad and I have said I don't like anything. Once again I have to point out that Kodi is unnecessary to play mkvs. It's idiotic to even question that fact but if you really need "proof" then go ahead and install the vdr-mplayer plugin and prove it to yourself. If you don't want to do that then you can install the vdr-play plugin as an alternative. > I asked you already before to explain what makes OpenELEC more > complicated, you > didn't answer. Yes, I have answered that question. Feel free to refer to my previous posts and perhaps pay better attention to what's being said. > The only thing that is really obvious that you have no idea what you are > talking about. Do you have any idea how completely foolish that sounds? > As the founder of yaVDR I have some experiences how complicated a vdr > setup can be. > As a contributor to OpenELEC I know how simple the setup in OE currently is. If I'm supposed to be impressed by that, it's not working. I've been a VDR user for nearly 15 years and have never relied on anyones pre-compiled packages. I've automated practically every aspect from OS install to fully working VDR, including auto-configuring things outside of VDR. So what, who cares? This isn't about how big my johnson is or how tiny yours seems to be. This started out with a guy asking a simple question - how can I play mkvs in VDR? If you want to act butthurt because someone pointed out that all it takes is the vdr-mplayer or vdr-play plugin then start a new thread about it. I doubt he posted to the ML in hopes of seeing someone get all sensitive over Kodi and start acting like its' honor must be defended at all cost.. It's really starting to seem teenage girl'ish so maybe you should give it a rest. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I've already played plenty of h265 content. On an RPi? With hardware support? I don't believe that. I'm only stating the obvious, that Kodi is absolutely unnecessary to give the OP what he's asking for. There is no denying this. And, he can decide if he wants to bother adding Kodi to his setup just to play mkvs, or if something less extreme makes more sense. If you let him really decide you shouldn't make solutions bad without any proof, only because you don't like them. I asked you already before to explain what makes OpenELEC more complicated, you didn't answer. The only thing that is really obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about. As the founder of yaVDR I have some experiences how complicated a vdr setup can be. As a contributor to OpenELEC I know how simple the setup in OE currently is.

Am 2016-02-09 22:55, schrieb VDR User: You don't need to bother with Kodi (unless you actually want to use it). VDR + the mplayer plugin work perfectly fine. There's no point in unnecessarily complicating a persons setup if that's not what they want. I know nothing in OpenELEC that is complicating a persons setup, what do you have in mind? At least his current setup is complicated enough so that he has no idea what to do next. He has no idea what to do next because he lacks information, not because his setup is complicated. And, any time you bundle additional software along with all of the dependencies that come with it, it's just more to maintain and more that can break. What sense does that make when all he wants to do is play mkvs? Kodi is completely unnecessary, surely you agree. No, absolutely not. The setup of OpenELEC is much less complicated and dependencies are no problem. The vdr-addon and the vnsi-addon gets installed by some clicks on the remote and a first channel scan needs only some clicks more. The raspberry pi has superior HDMI-CEC support that is used automatically by Kodi, so in most cases there is even no need for an IR receiver and an extra remote. The remote of the TV is just enough. That simplifies the setup even more. The topic is about playing .mkv. That is just a container. What about the used codecs? In the upcoming OpenELEC 0.7 there will even be support of H265 on the RPi. The Kodi GUI has no problems with playing 3D content. Is this working with your solution too? Gerald ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
