GVI

[sveinung]

Is there a reason that VLC on OS X refuse to open Google Video files from OS X, but play all gvi's I have thrown on it by draging them to the playlist? If not, could you please add this line to Info.plist in your OS X bundle? (I used the avi icon since as far as I know gvi is just a slicesly modified avi)

<dict>
<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>gvi</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeIconFile</key>
<string>avi.icns</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
<string>Google Video File</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
<string>Viewer</string>
</dict>

We just forgot to add this format. Thanks for the hint

I have not been able to get GVIs to run in VLC 0.8.6a in Mac OS X 10.4.6. I have the GVI that Google Video Player created in my user folder. If I run it in VLC, I get the first frame and then a crash. I tried downloading the video as AVI directly from Google but it has no video or audio (but it plays). Any ideas?

What about adding flv while you are at it?
