WMV files go mute after a few seconds of playback and stop playing soon after
I am running Xbian 1.0beta2, XBMC version 12.2 xxxx]cb29 (Compiled Oct 2 2013)
on an Raspberry pi 512 MB model B. Everything is up to date as far as apt-get update and upgrade take me using the official main branches.

Most everything works as it should, but today I noticed that .wmv video files start playing, cut the audio out pretty soon and after that also the video freezes although the play time elapsed counter still ticks on. Previously the exactly same files have been played with no problems. I can't say which package update made them stop playing properly.

I have bought and installed the VC-1 license.

When I try to play a video file (example http://archive.org/download/Windows7WildlifeSampleVideo/Wildlife.wmv ) the symptoms are as decribed above.

xbmc.log:

A similar problem has been reportedon OpenELEC forums: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=174024&pid=1511747 with a probably working solution https://github.com/popcornmix/xbmc/commit/600db214657c7b6b6feda8112846c028e3c175e0
Too bad my skills are not enough to apply them to xbian as I can't find OMXAudio.cpp from my xbian file system and modifying the git and compiling a working copy is too hardcore for me, if that's what it takes to get it working again.

Anyway, there's a problem and a possible solution as well. Hope you can do something about it. Thanks in advance.

I posted this also on github but as the community seems to be more active here, I copied it here.

RE: WMV files go mute after a few seconds of playback and stop playing soon after
Thanks for a great "Bug" report - all the information was there - I just wish all were like this.

1) I assume you have MPEG license - the VC-1 was not needed.
2) The Forum is for advise whereas the Github is for problems and is generally only looked at by developers.
3) OMXAudio.cpp file is C++ so will only be in the source which is not included in Xbian.

If you can link this thread to the github problem that would help matters.

I tried the wmv and all I got was a bit of audio and then nothing. Log showed

19:32:19 T:2969564224 ERROR: COMXCoreComponent::DecoderEventHandler OMX.broadcom.audio_decode - OMX_ErrorStreamCorrupt, Bitstream corrupt

I didn't get any video even with a valid MPEG license.

Can you check you test file.

@Gyuunduh

I just checked the OE code and they have not accepted that patch. It's not part of Frodo code and Gotham is completely different in that area (such file doesn't exist).

sorry, wrong check. it was applied and is part of code.

I will recheck with Koen as I'm sure he is following OE patches very closely and this is more than 3m old. Let's finish this on issue on github as this is highly technical.

This problem seems to be fixed in RC 1. Great job and thanks, developers.
