WMAPRO r22146 SVN Broken?

yes it's fixed in latest ffmpeg but that does not mean we have updated it. something i doubt will happen this side of next release. encode to a sane format instead - problem fixed.

But I remember that just before 22215 there were no problems at all. Isn't it possible to revert back to something that might work?

It wouldn't be a good idea postponing the ability of playing wmv and wma to another further release since wmv files are very common. I really hope you'll find a solution for this.

i can play the few wmv's i have i.e. my pr0n still works fine. that's the only thing wmv is used for afaik ;P or stinking drm'd crap but those i consider corrupt.

if i can contribute to them being slightly less common, i'd rather sit tight :>

on a more serious note, i'll air an ffmpeg update with the rest of the guys, see what we agree on. no promises

OK, yes, you got me, the WMVs are indeed porn. For some reason almost all porn comes in WMV format. I don't know why either.

Thanks for continuing to follow up!

Whats the policy on ffmpeg patches? Would you accept a patch that simply synced wmaprodec.c with SVN?

**spiff** · 2009-10-06 19:44

no. it wouldn't even work since our ffmpeg is from before wmapro was added officially, and hence hold on old encoder under the name wma3dec.c

While I'm not familiar with the xbmc checkout, presumably I'd just have to rename the ffmpeg file before running diff?

Or do you mean a patch isn't welcome regardless?

**davilla** · 2009-10-06 21:00

patches are always welcome Smile

**spiff** · 2009-10-07 00:47

see if your pr0n works better in r23484 (linux/osx only - dlls will follow soon i'm sure). if it does, please do not think of me while enjoying/creating the, ehrm, spills.

Nope, exact same issues as before.

WMAPRO audio may work now, but WMV videos don't.

Code:

xbmc.bin: libavformat/utils.c:1414: av_gen_search: Assertion `pos_limit <= pos_max' failed.

Aborted

to stderr on crash. I can generate full debuglogs if you want them, although I don't anticipate any difference from before.
