Video + Audio Playback (Experimental)

Experimental (HF only). A demo that pairs gmplay video with SoX audio. Not a polished player; intended for tinkering and proof‑of‑concept.

Features

  • Plays .gmv.gz video via gmplay with separate audio via SoX.
  • Simple script launcher for quick demos in KTerm.
  • Works when audio and video files match; the included demo media is not synchronized.

Requirements

  • Hardfloat (HF) Kindle only.
  • KTerm (to run commands).

Download & Install

  1. Download video-audio-all.zip.
  2. Unzip on your computer or Kindle.
  3. Place the videos folder in the Kindle root (/mnt/us).
  4. Place the vidoe-audio folder (typo intentional) into /mnt/us/extensions/.

How to Run

cd /mnt/us/extensions/vidoe-audio/
chmod +x playgmvmp3.sh
./playgmvmp3.sh
  • The bundled demo uses gmplay’s sample video and a separate audio track of the same song; they are not synchronized.
  • To create a synced demo, put your matching .gmv.gz and .wav in /mnt/us/videos/ with consistent names and update the script if needed.
