Purchase mpeg 2 and vc1 codec license keys serial number#
I’m not in a particular hurry to get these licenses, but I have noted when I next boot my RPi up to take down the serial number to order these licenses.

Note that the license key is emailed 72 hours after ordering. Refer to the following links for the licenses itself: RPi sorted out the H.264 license by updating it in their firmware updates after its initial production – so, you don’t have to purchase any more decoding licenses for other file formats. And also having the option of VC-1 license, a Micro$oft video codec, is also a handy feature of any XMBC.
I would think MPEG-2 playback is an essential feature of any XMBC setup. I like using puTTy to get to the command line of this Linux-based Terminal, you can always access the Terminal through Raspbmc and Rasbian. Instead, using puTTy, type ‘cat /proc/cpuinfo‘ at the command line to find the serial number. The serial number is NOT THE NUMBER PRINTED ON YOUR circuit BOARD. However, since, instead, individual licenses were offered with the RPi, where the MPEG-2 decode license is tied to the RPi’s serial number. The MPEG-2 decode license for the RPi would have raised its price by 10%, so the first production of RPi didn’t encode MPEG-2 and it didn’t transcode to H.264. What’s another 3 British Pounds for these codecs for my RPi to make it a more complete multimedia player? I just yesterday bought a $32 wireless keyboard to run on my RPi setup. I’ve already spent considerably more than the initial outlay of $35 for the RPi itself – over $100 on previous shopping trip getting usb wifi dongle, 32 gb sd (memory) card, 32 gb usb stick, 7-port usb hub. OK, finally decided to purchase these decoding licenses for the RPi.
