Solved issue with some MKV files
#1
Hi all !

first let me thank you for that software which is simply AMAZING. I've spend years with mediaportal, which was great, but Linux+XBMC braught me stability and speed beyond my expectations.

I have, i would say, a fully working machine. But there are a few MKV files that i can read perfectly with Ubuntu video players, but not with XBMC Huh (majority of MKV play perfectly)

when i launch them i have an xbmc popup saying: (my own translation)
Quote:failed to read one or more elements. Please read log file for more details

here are the xbmc.log output:
Code:
23:15:51 T:140082475562880  NOTICE: DVDPlayer: Opening: /mnt/DATA/camera/video1.mkv

23:15:51 T:140082475562880  NOTICE: DVDPlayer: finished waiting

can you please help me ?

thanks !!
PS : i am using ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32b + XBMC 12.2

ok... i knew there was something dumb hiding behind this...

=> changed Linux file right to 664 instead of 600 (file belongs to a user different from xbmc).
it works ! Smile

The reason was indeed clearly indicated in the log. Thanks for reporting the solution.
