Updated to the latest SVN and my problems are gone.

I get sound, doesn't crash after a few seconds and bit rate, channels and other info is now correctly reported.
WMV with WMAPro and VC1

I'll be thinking of spiff later... :p


- rodalpho - 2009-10-07

Trex, your WMV files play now? All of them? I saw no improvement at all.


- TREX6662k5 - 2009-10-08

I only have around 2. Both of them are WMAPro encoded with VC1.


- rodalpho - 2009-10-08

Ahh, OK. So then WMAPro audio is fixed with the FFMPEG update, but WMV definitely isn't.

Hi,
is there a "workaround" or something i can do? Does compiling XBMC with the external libraries option help? Or can i use an external player to play such (wma) video files...:confused2:

Sorry for my bad english... Sad


- spiff - 2009-10-08

truely bad english. so bad you can't even understand whats written it seems.


- -=Rapidfire=- - 2009-10-08

Nice answer... No
I think i've read nearly the whole wiki and there is not much information about a solution that works. So i tried to become an answer in a problem relevant thread.


- spiff - 2009-10-08

if you had read the thread you would have seen that i have just updated ffmpeg and that wmapro files now play perfectly fine!


- -=Rapidfire=- - 2009-10-08

Ok, thanks for the information. I will give it a try.

Any news around this? Anyone tried with the latest r23592 release?

HI!

Sorry for perhaps dumb question...
Compiled two days ago and I have now problems playing VC-1 coded HD-Films (BD-rips). For example Iron Man or X-Men.
h264 is no problem.

Do I have the same problem like you all?

Regards,
Patrick

I believe VC-1 is actually supposed to work, unlike WMV. They're very similar, but VC-1 and WMV are slightly different; VC-1 uses the advanced profile and WMV is simple/main profile. That's my understanding, anyway. It can be somewhat confusing.

After looking it up, simple/main video files (basically WMVs) are valid VC-1 targets as well, so there's definite overlap. My guess would be that simple/main is broken and advanced works.


- pat1975 - 2009-10-12

Thanks rodalpho!

Could you (or someone else) please test a BD-rip in VC-1 (like I said Iron Man or X-Men (1/2/3) i.e.) to confirm that VC-1 playback is ok or broken.

Thanks, Patrick

Yeah my wmv's have stoped working they used to work fine.


- rodalpho - 2009-10-14

WMVs haven't worked "fine" for well over an entire year.
