[Sugar-devel] playing mp4 videos on xo4

[Tim Moody]

I found mp4 video did not play even after

 

http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/olpc-os-builder/plain/restricted-4.ini?h=
restricted

 

and

 

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/44315/playing-mp4v-avi-mkv-files-o
n-fedora-20/

 

However, I then rebooted and my test
http://timmoody.com/downloads/test/Wm0zq-NqEFs.mp played.

 

Even better, the KA Lite videos now play.

 

The first video of the Technology TED talk still doesn't play.

I flashed an xo4 with both 32016r4.zd and 3200SL4.zd.

 

On both I can play flash, ogv, and webm video, but I cannot play mp4. For
example:

 

*         http://timmoody.com/downloads/test/Wm0zq-NqEFs.webm plays

*         http://timmoody.com/downloads/test/test.ogv plays

*         http://timmoody.com/downloads/test/Wm0zq-NqEFs.mp4 does not play,
just shows controls

*         https://youtu.be/Wm0zq-NqEFs - says an error occurred and then
rotating circle and then plays; right click shows that it is Flash (didn't
try this on 3200SL4.zd)

(The youtube videos are tricky because they stream what they think the
client can play, so windows gets a different format than the XO)

 

Is it expected that mp4 videos will not play?  Are there rpms that can fix
this?
