Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mplayer
The recent (yesterday?) update to version 1.0rc4-4.5.2 (package version 1.0~rc4.dfsg1-1ubuntu1) seems to have broken something, because it now gives this error [mkv] Track 2 has been compressed with an unknown/unsupported compression [mkv] algorithm (3). Skipping track. followed by repeating [h264 @ 0x7f0d58e5e020]AVC: nal size 521 [h264 @ 0x7f0d58e5e020]no frame! Error while decoding frame! on a file identified as having video format avc1. After downgrading to version 1.0rc4-4.4.5 (package version 1.0~rc4~try1.dsfg1-1ubuntu1) it plays the file without any trouble. The older version identifies the file as having video format H264. Both versions try to use the ffh264 video codec. ** Affects: mplayer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/717365 Title: regression: latest update fails to play some video files -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
