VLC won't play the audio from this FLV?

Postby Robrain » 22 Dec 2009 21:52

Okay, I saw this music video by The Road Hammers on their website (find it at the bottom of their page):

http://www.jasonmccoy.com/?pg=video

It's called "I'm A Road Hammer". I have a big collection of music videos on my external hard drive, so I found the source file (.FLV) using FireBug. From my experience, VLC plays FLV's pretty flawlessly (maybe some erroring if you try to skip ahead with some FLVs). For that reason, no matter if it's an AVI, WMV, FLV, whatever, I have VLC set to play them all.

But here I ran into a problem because for the first time, VLC simply won't play the audio for this FLV. The audio plays fine in my browser (Firefox), but once I DL the file and try to play it in VLC, it gives me this error message:

-
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
-

Now I'm really not sure what that means, since again, it plays in the browser just fine (with full audio). I also tried MPlayer which simply crashes when attempting to play that file. VLC at least plays the video portion, just without audio. The real kicker is, Adobe Media Player plays it just perfectly (with full audio).

Since basically all the music videos for The Road Hammers are on that website in great quality, I was going to grab them all but I'm sure that this error will likely pop up again with all their other ones.

Anyone have any idea what is causing this weird error with VLC with this FLV?

A link to the FLV (it's a 311MB HQ music video [darn good song too]):

VLC 1.0.x doesn't support the audio format used in that file (ADPCM Shockwave). But VLC 1.1.0 does support.
