enabling codecs issue - simon4403 - 6th Jan, 2013 02:13 AM
Hi All
I've been racking my brain trying to figure out why my codecs won't enable.
I've tried using xbian-config and then removing that and trying manually editing the config.txt via putty and adding via editing the config.txt in windows to no avail.
Please can anyone shed any light on this for me?

I've checked several times that the codes are the same as the ones that have been sent to me. Please help!!

Are you sure you ordered the license on the right pi serial number? Also are you 100% about the text after decode_MPG2= & decode_WVC1=

Yeah, the code "0x11111111" doesn't look right.
If you really got this code, you probably entered the wrong serial in the shop or something went wrong on the raspberrypi side. In the footer of the site is an email adress. You should write them a short email and ask for help.

No need because they're RPi specific. We would actually have to steal your RPi to use them

Ahh fair enough. Won't surprise me if someone will be spoofing serials in the future somehow any ideas about this problem though?

Found out i need to put MPG2 and WVC1 in capitals when using the VCGENCMD >< *facepalm* turns out the video i was trying to use was just buggered.
Thanks anyway.
