With the new Solo2 is it possible to play more codecs using the gst-ffmpeg package?
After installing the latest night build and gst-ffmpeg i only get sound (WMA) in the following stream rtsp://stream.omegatv.net/Live but not video (WMV).
I know that ffmpeg cannot work on older machines because their cpu is poor, but what about the new Solo2?
Do we need a patch against gst-ffmpeg in order to play WMV with software decoding?
Thanks for your help.

Older machines could decode WMV at something like 1/10th FPS. The CPU in the solo2 is about 2x to 4x faster (depending on the type of work). Calculating the resulting framerate for software deconding on the solo2 is left as an exercise for the reader...

So, no matter how fast the cpu, for a stb, never rely on software video codecs, it's NOT going to work.
Actually, most of the time it's not too difficult to transcode a piece of media into something the stb can play.

Then lets cross our fingers and hope for WMV and On2 VP6 codec support into drivers. At least WMV is out already from DM.

There are many streams that use WMV and VP6, so it would be nice to be able to play them (without the need of VLC).
@Milo, thanks for the info.

For that, the box should be marketed as "ip box" or "media box", not satellite or cable receiver
Searching for "ip box" or "media box" with broadcom cpu (bmc7405) found the following links:
http://intercomventures.com/?p=stb http://oregan.net/oem_solutions_hybrid_ip_and_broadcast.php * High Definition MPEG 4 video decode(AVC / H.264 / WMV9 / VC1 / DivX / XviD ) * Standard Definition Sorenson Spark / ON2 decode
Does this mean, that BMC7405 is also capable for ON2 decoding? I cannot find something about ON2 decode on Broadcom site.
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Cable/Cable-Set-Top-Box-Solutions/BCM7405 http://www.broadcom.com/products/IPTV/IPTV-Solutions/BCM7405
So supporting whatever "cpu supports" actually depends on what licenses the DM / VU+ / ET/... payed for and how the box is marketed.
I hate marketing
