bought the mpg2 codec but not working.

Sat Nov 23, 2013 8:22 pm

I received my code a couple weeks ago and put it in, didnt even think to check if it was actually working. got suspicious today when watching an mpeg2 ota broadcast and saw that my fps was at 8. So went hunting and found the command to check and it shows as disabled.

vcgencmd codec_enabled mpg2
mpg2=disabled

I just bought the vc1 codec to, waiting on it to show up. now I wonder if that will actually work either. Who do I need to contact for this mpeg2 issue?

Looks like you'll need to fire off an email to store@raspberrypi.org

Send them the output from cat /proc/cpuinfo (which includes your processor serial #).

The command is case sensitive and the codec must be in upper case

Code: Select all

rpdom@raspi:~$ vcgencmd codec_enabled mpg2
mpg2=disabled
rpdom@raspi:~$ vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2
MPG2=enabled
