Media in Media player #43

Closed jbonde closed 1 year ago

jbonde commented 1 year ago

Hi - I can't select a media to playback in the Media Player. The drop down box is not working as for the other options. I am using a RPi4 with updated OS

melnijir commented 1 year ago

Media needs to be saved into your home folder:

~/Dicaffeine/media

Then push the "Reload media" button and select the right file.

jbonde commented 1 year ago

It doesn't work. Uploaded a media to the folder and it doesn't show in the drop down even after clicking "Reload Media"

jbonde commented 1 year ago

It seems like it is related to type of media. Could be useful to specify which media types are supported (only mpg?)

melnijir commented 1 year ago

You're right, I though it's already there but apparently not. :) Currently supported file extensions are mp4, avi and mkv. I'll add these to the description.

Thanks! Would also be nice if you could give some recommendations in terms of file properties (bitrate, size, GOP, image size etc) that is suitable for RPi4 playback.
