here is a nice sample source mkv files:

I have been testing it with mkv at 720p and so far it does not like it at all, slow downs and crashing.
I am going to see if it likes 480p mkv content after i get some sleep.

Works great for myself..Great release thanks to all those involved

This is very much an alpha release. We wanted to get this out to the community to start improving on it and build it into something better for everyday use. We don't need tests done, we had testers try almost every media type and have a huge list of what worked and didn't.

1080p XVID plays fine for me, 720p almost everything else, performance will vary between different container types and codec's. you may also notice one 720p mkv plays differently than another, this is because the audio codec types and number of channels can effect playback performance as well.

I tested temps watching a few 2hr movies(@700mb probably 480p) back to back and they were as low as staying at dash

Developers please note source is released, patches can be submitted so if the community wants a better player, they can contribute to it.

matroska is an unstable codec at best, I have to use a variety of players PC To get a variety of files to play FMP, seems to be a good fall-back. The fact this works at all on 360 is amazing (To my mind) I think in the future, more attention will be paid to encoding in a 360 friendly manner, that should give the best results... If anyone has good success with any particular5 methods/settings/appps pls let us know :-)

Matroska isn't unstable, and it's not a codec.

Just out of curiosity, can it play strictly audio?

i was just saying how now that all hdmi's are homebrew capable, we will prolly see a media player and some of the emu's release a little quicker and not even 24 hours later someone proves me right. thanks.

Just did a few quick tests. It played FLAC in .mkv and .mka, .m4a 320 and .mp3 V2. Did not play .wma lossless, .flac or Ogg Vorbis q8.

Yes plays music rather well. And Dan, feel free to contribute to the project if you can

This is a pleasant surprise
Especially as tonight my 360 would only play Limitless without the audio synced, had to fire up XBMC on my orriginal xbox
It will be nice to see if this really goes anywhere esp with the new glitch hack broadening the dev horizons

Yea there isn't much to theme on this software, but maybe eventually the dev's will give us more options in future releases. Anyway, our theme section is open for FFPlay 360 on spiffy360.com

Subtitle support??? via .srt.... .sub or embeeded to mkv?

Awsome release, I look forward to the next media center app
