Hi, i found some mp4 video's to play and some not.

This is a sample of the video's that does not play.
Sometimes there is audio and no video. And with others i get a black/ blank screen.

Here is a link to the folder..

{Previously i added a post where avi video's dont play. This was fixed.
now i found that mp4 videos dont play as well as some wmv video's.}

Hope the sample video's can help.

Thanks!

wmv require VC-1 licence.you can buy it from RPi and add to your /boot/config.txt

[rikardo1979]

you can also try to check your RAM split under /boot/config.txt
If you find that you have anything lower than 128 than try change it to 128
so do the following from SSH

Code:

nano /boot/config.txt

and change the value to 128

Code:

gpu mem 256=128

or if you have Raspberry Pi V2 with 512mb RAM

Code:

gpu mem 512=128

The Pi can play the VC1 video codec (aka WMV 9). Not anything that is in a wmv container.
Your video file is:

Code:

Video
ID : 2
Format : MPEG-4 Visual
Codec ID : MP43
Codec ID/Info : Microsoft MPEG-4 v3 (pre-standard)
Codec ID/Hint : Microsoft
Description of the codec : Windows Media MPEG-4 Video V3
Duration : 18mn 18s
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 216 Kbps
Width : 320 pixels
Height : 240 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 4:3
Frame rate : 30.000 fps
Bit depth : 8 bits
Compression mode : Lossy
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.094
Stream size : 28.3 MiB (84%)
Language : English (US)

which is not supported.

The mp4 and avi files are supported, and played okay for me.

Hi, Thanks for the help. I Found that the problem was the build version i used.
I updated the weekend to the latest build available.
I'm using openelec build for the raspberryPi.

The builds i use is from this website http://openelec.thestateofme.com/
Currently using r12954.
I find that this builds are "unofficial" Would you rather suggest i use the official images?
Or where can i find the correct images..?

Best Regards
