Issue with 12.4 video play back of mp4

[Govo]

Hi folks

the  issue,

Xine keeps crashing on certain play back of MP4 video files, the same video files played on 8.10, and play back was prefect.

LMCE install snapshot

LMCE­ 1204­ 20150630070­030841.iso   30­ Jun­ 2015   2.2Gb

( sudo upgrade completed after install )

The core is  Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 06)

The MD
Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express (due to be replaced)

It freezes during play back of 1 or 2 minutes and I have to kill the process.

see paste bin here http://pastebin.com/rnfe0TKb ,   look for video name 17 again

after freezing no other video will play from the library, quick reload allows me to choose different video file, but only audio plays.

Stop it and choose the same file again and I get both audio and video play back.


please advise
Gov

The output from Xine_Player's screen session may also prove helpful here, can you paste it?

here's another one for Dirty dancing mp4  video file

Since we use libxine directly any playback issues are associated with the upgrades they have performed in their source code.  If you can provide an ~10MB snippet of a failing video then we can look to see if it works for us.

Thanks,

Hi

This is the best I can do, 50MB

I you wanted hole film you can grab a copy at yifi movies .


Cheers

[phenigma]

hmm.  YIFY are terrible releases.  They are small, but I find issues with them regularily in playback on multiple devices. 

That being said, the sample plays perfectly here on my 1204 and 1404 systems and on the rpi.

What does ffmpeg say to these files? Is ffmpeg able to rebundle them into a usable format?

[Govo]

I never had an issue with the play back of these files on 8.10, I'll do some home work,

Do you know of any other sites other then yifi !

cheers

koffel in IRC had a similar issue recently and he was able to resolve it by re-installing libxine

Code: [Select]

apt-get install --reinstall libxine2 libxine2-bin libxine2-ffmpeg libxine2-misc-plugins libxine2-plugins libxine2-x

Try that out and see if that resolves your issue.  The clip you sent me plays perfectly on all my systems.

Hi Folks

Back at it again, using the latest snap shot of 12.4

http://linuxmce.iptp.org/snapshots/LMCE-1204-20151211114231752-i386.iso


For some reason most of my mp4 videos,  will not play on the MD

I have logged into the KDE desktop and open the video under dragon player,  dragon player asked for gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg to be installed, so I allowed it to be installed and mp4  file played perfect.

Xine player wont play the mp4 even when logged in to KDE


Boot up MD, open the same video file and now I just a get a blank screen and then it comes back to the main screen.

So I tried the below on both the MD & CORE 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/gstffmpeg-keep
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
 AND

sudo apt-get install xine-ui libxine1-ffmpeg


Then I get
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  realpath libdmraid1.0.0.rc16 kpartx-boot archdetect-deb python-pyicu
  libdebian-installer4 kpartx rdate btrfs-tools localechooser-data apt-clone
  dpkg-repack libdebconfclient0 dmraid
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

AND

sudo apt-get install xine-ui libxine1-ffmpeg

So I am now confused, it works when you are directly logged onto KDE.

Any suggestion as this command didn't work either

apt-get install --reinstall libxine2 libxine2-bin libxine2-ffmpeg libxine2-misc-plugins libxine2-plugins libxine2-x

So I am stuck with 10.4 for moment and unable to test the rpi2 for as MD

What's the audio format?  Xine needs special configuration for AAC audio.

pastebin your /etc/asound.conf /etc/pluto/xine.conf and the mediainfo output for the mp4 file.

Hi phenigma

Thanks for the reply, while I waited for the reply, I have upgraded to  14.4  snap shot LMCE-1404-20151205213931742-i386.iso

Still the same issue, I have installed mplayer, vlc player through the  lmce-admin  Software modules.

/etc/pluto/xine.conf  --> http://pastebin.com/TDrX1ict

/etc/asound.conf --> http://pastebin.com/5pkQgzgi

I will have to go through those mp4's that don't play and put them to one side for the moment unitl we can figure out why they wont play. most of my library  are mp4's

I can now test the rpi2 as a MD

Cheers
Gov

Thanks  phenigma for your help!

Cheers
