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

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

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

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, 12:04

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

Nice answer...

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, 12:15

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, 12:21

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

**erhnam** · 2009-10-12, 09:10

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

**pat1975** · 2009-10-12, 13:34

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, 15:30

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, 18:25

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