[gentoo-user] Xine plays *.m4v, but won't play the file when renamed to *.mp4

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I wonder if anyone else here uses xine to play mp4 files? I started
using Handbrake awhile back to rip my DVDs. The default file extension
was m4v so I left it that way and had no problems with xine.

   I've just received a new TV full of Open Source software. One of
the things the TV will do is play files off of an attached USB hard
drive, but the TV recognizes a limited number file formats, one being
mp4. My m4v files, when renamed to mp4, play just fine, but are no
longer played by xine.

   Anyone have a work around for this?

Thanks,
Mark
