Re: Video Player Core?
So you would end up with a player core that forces you to reencode your videos to work, with less format support than some modern TVs (using a USB stick). Not the best experience.
Now where maybe there is a niche would be to make a core that can encode mpeg2 or mpeg4 video in real time from imput via the VGA or GPIO port (or even to capture video from a running core). I'm not sure if those ports are fast enough but in this use case, only supporting 1 or 2 codecs is less problematic.
To illustrate, I'm sure you could play videos on MiSTer right now as long as your video is encoded as MegaCD or PlayStation disk. Very inconvenient though...

You can easily do that with a Raspberry Pi which has a dedicated composite video output. I used an app called Rasplex which streamed the video files from my PC to the CRT.

I also use RPi /crtemudriver PC to watch SD content on CRTs...it's amazing, especially when you can find decent quality rips.

Re: Video Player Core?
But I don’t have a raspberry pi (and those are kinda hard to come by these days), I have a mister. And composite isn’t good enough. The mister’s rgb output would be so much nicer.

Re: Video Player Core?
I wonder if a plex client would work as the heavy lifting is done by the server
I would love to watch Beavis and Butt-head and That 70s Show on my CRT without buying a blonder tongue modulator

Looks like there is a video player for the Saturn now: https://www.segasaturnshiro.com/2024/07 ... -tutorial/
Re: Video Player Core?
Will the CD-i core implement FMV? That would allow playing Video CDs. There's also the FMV board for the CD32 and possibly some other platforms.

Re: Video Player Core?
Trying out Plex MiSTer now... followed the instructions up to copying the link from 'View XML'...
Where exactly do we paste this? With the script loaded it prompts me to paste there (can't copy/paste from PC to MiSTer)...
The instructions however says to paste into the actual .sh script files... but where exactly? Do we have to do this for each and every video file we wish to watch?
Hopefully the instructions will get updated with clarification. Anyone doing a setup video?

Re: Video Player Core?
I ssh into my MiSTer run the scripts and paste it when prompted
i don't know if any transcoding happens as nothing shows in plex/tautulli that anything is playing at all also I get no sound. Using CRT
