Description

Opening ticket as per request from Stuart Morgan... http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/307576#307576

The Internal player fails to play various video formats that all work perfectly fine using mplayer (1.0rc2-4.1.3) and ffplay (SVN-r10872)...

Using mythvideo svn 15223 tested lastest episode from each of these rss feeds... http://www.hak5.org/rss/xvid.xml - Plays video but no sound. http://revision3.com/systm/feed/quicktime-large - Get a black screen as if its about to play, then just goes back to the video info screen. http://revision3.com/tekzilla/feed/quicktime-high-definition - Crashes mythfrontend completely. http://revision3.com/pixelperfect/feed/quicktime-high-definition - Get a black screen as if its about to play, then just goes back to the video info screen. http://revision3.com/diggnation/feed/quicktime-high-definition - Crashes mythfrontend completely.

Hi,

since a few weeks ago (not quite sure which svn revision :( ), the frontend crashes when trying to play x264/AVC encoded files. older/other h.264 encoded files play back just fine. One more observation, the ALSA mixer settings are left in a completely bogus state after the crash. Only an 'alsactl restore' can bring the audio back.

maybe this rings any bells ?!?

Regards,

Mathias

In #4456 (which was closed as a duplicate of this) I reported problems with matroska files which look to be h.264/AVC encoded. The internal player doesn't crash for me but playback is not watchable (but all is fine with mplayer and a fairly new svn ffplay). I attached a playback log to #4456. Let me know if I can be of assistance tracking this down.

Any way we can sync the mythtv/libs/libavcodec tree with the ffmpeg/libavcodec svn trunk? In reviewing svn ffmpeg it appears many updates (bug fixes) have been made, specific to H.264/AVC.

Ash, can you test current trunk and tell me if that fixes any of the issues you've reported? Two of them sound like the same bug which was fixed in the last 24 hours.

Everthing except the first sample now works for me using trunk/release-0.21-fixes.

Just tested them as well and can confirm the same as stuartm. On a side note, any idea if automation of seek table rebuilding is likely to be seen any time soon? These vids still hang when fast forwarding (using stt

...using sticky keys) if the seek table isn't built first.

Sorry I hit submit by accident (damn laptop track pad).

Still an issue after the latest ffmpeg sync?

All of the cited samples play for me with current trunk. Any other playback issues can open a new ticket.
