Can't seek in vc-1 file, works fine in VLC-
#1
Hello!

I have this vc-1 file (bluray) that works just fine in xbmc except for that I cant seek, it works very well to seek in vlc though.
This log is from 13.2 but I've also tried it under helix alpha2 with the same result.

Hope someone gets intrested!

Upgrade to a nightly. 13.2 uses a very old ffmpeg version.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

he said he used alpha2. Should the recent bump fix that?

Ok, I tried again using http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/win32/...master.exe and the problem is still there.

Here is a new log from daily.

Does it work if you disable DXVA2?

you can use ffmpeg to cut out some seconds: ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -ss [start] -t [duration] -c:v copy -c:a copy out.mp4

Windows binaries can be downloaded from their homepage.

What if you simply re-wrap the file using, say, mvkmerge gui? Does that help? It might be a container problem (I've seen avidemux sometimes produce poor mkvs, for example).

lol @ marantz: I think your container is the issue.

Yes it does. It's just a matter of try to get this fixed for xbmc since it works in VLC now I guess Smile

fritch, ok. Should I just re-wrap my file and forget about this then?
