[BUG] Can't play certain mkv files (no video)
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 12:24 amHey everyone!
First I just wanted to congrat the developers on one of the best players out there!
Now for the bug part... For some reason smplayer fails to play some mkv files, but just certain mkv files as other files play just fine!
The same file played directly with mplayer played flawlessly... So it had to be related to smplayer.
I'm running Arch Linux, SMPlayer 0.6.9 (SVN r3447), MPlayer SVN-r31774-4.5.0.
Anyway, with the help of Surkow, I was able to narrow it down. He suggested me to take the command that smplayer runs and run it myself on a terminal. Then from there, to start eliminating switches until the video played. And that's what I did. I started removing switches and options till mplayer played the video properly. I found -vid 0 to be the culprit... as soon as i deleted the option a window containing the video came up!
The thing is that now I don't know how to disable this switch from within smplayer! And I'm assuming it's an option!
So if anyone could help me out on this one, I would be very grateful! ^-^
Thanks in advance!
I'll leave here both log files just in case. Who knows maybe they might have something useful!
