Files need to be added using the commandline: /mnt/somewhere/vlc /mnt/somewhere/Music The above command will add all the files in the Music directory. There is no MPEG4 video decoder included with VLC for HD1000. Even if there was, the HD1000 does not have enough CPU power to decode most MPEG4 video streams. -- Jon Lech Johansen [email protected] nanocrew.net/blog/ Stat sua cuique dies, breve et inreparabile tempus omnibus est vitae; sed famam extendere factis, hoc virtutis opus.
