Package: vlc Version: 0.8.6.c-6+lenny4, 0.8.6.e-2.1 Severity: normal Since 0.8.6.c-6+lenny4, when I open matroska (.mkv) videos, the status bar in vlc shows an incorrect length for the movie. Shortly afterwards, instead of starting playback, the current time is shown as negative numbers (e.g. similar to -2:-34:-15) and seemingly random screenshots from the movie are shown. Playback is practically impossible.
This happened with every matroska movie I have tried so far (xvid and H.264, with and without subtitles). The following is the console output for one of the sample movies from http://www.matroska.org/samples/ $ vlc starwars10MB-1.mkv VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1549a966 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1654ae6b [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Ignoring seekhead entry for ID=0x1f43b675 [matroska @ 0xb2240110]Unknown video track header entry 0x54b2 - ignoring [00000378] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `undf'.
