I'm new to developing for Boxee, but when I searched I didn't see an issue with .mov or .m4v video files playing through the player. I have a feed that I'm pulling that has a mix of .mov and .m4v files that play audio, but not the video portion. If I switch out my feed and try a feed with the .flv format, I see the video fine. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Boxee should be able to play those formats.

Try this video in boxee:

http://podcasts.bigtennetwork.com/05-22-09%20MinnVPurBase.m4v

I get the sound, but not the video. When I go through the feeds from this site, none of the m4v or mov files play video, just audio. I have an application that I'm building for Boxee with video from this site, but stuck as I only get the audio from all of the feeds.

Has anyone had the same issue as I have above? I'm pulling video from this feed:

http://www.bigtennetwork.com/podcasts/bigtennetworkhd.xml

And the video is mov:

http://podcasts.bigtennetwork.com/04-04-09DetroitHD.mov

When I set the above url as a feed (the first one), I get the same as before, sound, but no video. I get it for all video on this site.

I'm on Linux and I was able to make these videos appear when I created a python app using mc.MediaCtrl and fed it the uri for the video above.

Any help would be appreciated.
