[LIVE] - Codec problem
#1
I've been trying to find out what was my problem with some videos. It appears only on some videos or some streaming sites. It seems to work fine in windows, but in my Live version, it seems that it doesn't. So I did some search and I don't really understand why MPlayer would not be able to play those videos properly.

I've found a simple video on my HD that does the problem, so here the information from mediainfo:

I did a reinstall of my live version, just to be sure that I didn't broke it by mistake. My question is quite simple: should the player be able to play such file? and if no, is there an easy way to update the player in the Live version?

I finally found out what was the problem. It seems that some codec are not rendered properly using the VDPAU. If I change the render method in the video->option, it works fine.
