Thanks, it's finally working after installing those gst packages,
installing 0.20.1 and some system updates (maybe thanks to reboot)
Now, "working" is a loose term in this case, unfortunately.. the only
controls that work are play and stop (can't pause/ff/rw/etc.). Well,
*can* trick it into pausing by using PS button :) Are those features in
development or just broken for me?
Also, is there anything that can be tuned -- encoding quality, for
example? Subtitles would be awesome..
