Just put decode_MPG2=LicenseNumber in /boot/config.txt Did you not understand that the the previous post indicated that this was indeed an option, confirming ops posed question? Because I think your post, 4 hrs after ops question was answered, is quite disrespectful and dismissive of the time and effort that the OSMC team have spent to provide a simple method for users to accomplish such tasks, particularly novice users. Do it whichever way you like but, IMO your useless “echo” here is unnecessary and disrespectful. I received a confirmation email with both licences in it, related to the serials of either Pi. So now I now which one is which.

However I’ve added them to the config.txt file as suggested (through the Pi Config add-on), and after a reboot there seems to be no change. Videos with the MPG extension only play sound with omxplayer as the default. If I change to DVDPlayer, MPGs play, but then they always did, and I get the wow and flutter sound problem again on all videos (see other thread). Nigel Kennedy Vivaldi Rapidshare Premium. Am I missing something, or is omxplayer incapable of playing these files?

They are encoded with MPeg1 by the way. Yes I know a reboot is required. I amended the config.txt file 2 days ago, and rebooted both Pi’s at least twice afterwards (as detailed earlier). But mpeg decodeding did not work after each reboot. However it did work 24 hours later (and neither Pi had been rebooted during that time). This isn’t a support query by the way, so please don’t take it as one. The licence key is working fine on both Pi’s, and I’m perfectly happy with it.

Why do I have to buy the MPEG2 Codec. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has done. Decision was made not to include the MPEG-2 & VC1 codecs because it was likely. So i bought a MPEG 2 license (still waiting) and i just wanted to confirm the location i would add the key to? Would i just add to sudo nano /boot/config.txt and that.

I’m just curious as to why activation did not occur after reboots, but after the board had been left unattended for a day. Lorisarvendu: I’m just curious as to why activation did not occur after reboots, but after the board had been left unattended for a day. What you seem convinced has happened here is simply not possible. Your method of determining if activation had occurred was likely flawed. The appropriate way to confirm installation of the key would have been to use the command provided in the email that contained your key from RPF. Vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2 Since nowhere at all in these last confused posts have you mentioned using or having any knowledge of this command, then I would assume you simply overlooked it in the license key email and were not really using a reliable method of confirming codec function.

But alas, it would seem this horse has now been beaten.
