Installing the H.264 decoder

Distribution of the H.264 decoder is blocked by proprietary rights, so appropriate libraries are not provided in the TV Emulator package. Nevertheless, the license permits the end user to use the decoder for free. The steps below describe one possible way of installing this decoder.

  1. Create shared folder with the name plugins. See the Installation Guide for information on how to share a folder.
  2. Download the gstreamer0.10-x264 package and the libx264 package for i386 platform.
  3. Unpack both packages (for Windows you can use an application such as 7zip to do that).
  4. From both packages, copy all files from the /usr/lib folder to your plugins folder.
  5. Launch the TV Emulator,
You should now be able to watch all H.264 media.
