    Hi,
    I managed to compile the distribution on RH8.0 and everything went fine apparently (no major compilation problems).

    one remarks and some runtime questions:
    - I used --prefix=/usr/local/KMA at configure time.  I had to link all the KMA libs from /usr/local/lib to /usr/local/KMA/lib to make it run.

    - kma complain that it can't bind to port 80 on localhost. What is it used for?

    - I saw some empty 'menu' options while browsing my folders on the TV. Is it something configurable in kma.conf? what is it used for?

    - I understood that KMA supports OGG formats. I wasn't able to read one movie for the moment. Maybe, i did it wrong?

    Thanks for your help (and sorry for the dummy questions ;-)

      - I used --prefix=/usr/local/KMA at configure time. I had to link all the KMA libs from /usr/local/lib to /usr/local/KMA/lib to make it run.
      => Fixed in current CVS code (and upcoming test2)

      - kma complain that it can't bind to port 80 on localhost. What is it used for?
      => A KML server. In current CVS it's disabled, need to work on it a lot more

      - I saw some empty 'menu' options while browsing my folders on the TV. Is it something configurable in kma.conf? what is it used for?
      => A few server commands, like restarting, shut-down, etc

      - I understood that KMA supports OGG formats. I wasn't able to read one movie for the moment. Maybe, i did it wrong?
      => dont know, just tested with current cvs code, and all is playing fine. Maybe have a look there ..

      Hi again and thanks for your support.

      I checked again the Ogg playability and nothing happens. When i select a ogg movie, I get back to the menu every time i try to play it.
      I've checked that Ogg codec are there (don't know if it is necessary), firmware is 2.8.3, other stuff plays fine except ogg movies.

      I've copied what the debug log has captured:

      It complains about a 'Bad AVI File (MainAVIHDR)', maybe it is a clue. Any idea ? I'm in regular KMA 0.4-test1 not CVS'ed. Thx.

      KiSS players only support OGG audio, not ogg soundtracks in video's..

      ... Oups ...  Another dummy question ...;-)

      Ok, thanks for the precision, i'd better re-read my Kiss manual, hihihi. But ...

      Would it be possible to have a module that can read one video format in input (let's say randomly a DivX video with an ogg soundtrack) and stream  another format to the Kiss as the output (let's say an DivX/Xvid with mp3).

      This may rely on the CPU power that hosts KMA but may brings supports for non regular formats.

      Thx for the support.

        In theory it's possible to transcode video from something not supported by the KiSS to something that is. But it's very hard, and probably has it's limitations. I might be able to write a module which uses MPlayer todo the transcoding.. but for now I'm focussing on getting 0.4.0 ready. Also I'm waiting the the next version of EZLink, which will use a softwarebundle that's doing transcoding like described above. I'm curious to see how it's done, and maybe will give me some idears for a mplayer modules as well.
