Problem playing Files with Wrong audio sampling frequence

[Pikapikapi1]

Files have wrong (audio sampling frequence) in the track info (8000 hz), should be 48000. and I see no way to adjust VLC to manually change it's playback frequency, So the file plays with no sound even though it's the same file size as the other files that played before it, so it has sound just VLC does not play it.

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to MirrorCreator.com or to EmbedUpload.com, so it will upload the file for you to several other hosts, and then post the link to the file here.

I copyed and pasted the section of the log that seemed to be the error message display? the rest seemed ordinary Info at the top and that info pasted from there down just kept repeating.

8 kHz is upsampled to 48 kHz without problems here?!

(Link removed as the file been analyzed) (550 MB) is the file in question. (Link aviliable for a limited time) I can get the file to play Correctly in CyberLink PowerDVD but Windows Media player has the same issue VLC has video but no sound and no other video player can run it.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Might be broken timestamps in the file then.

[Pikapikapi1]

Okie so no way for VLC to play it normally then?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

TBH, I don't know.

Does the file load into avidemux, tsmuxer or other de/remuxer? If none of them report valid streams the file is probably a lost cause. If one of them can load it (if avidemux offers a B-mode when you open the file, use it) try recreating an index and resaving it.

[Pikapikapi1]

and yes it does although duno how to use that I can save it in avidemux somehow and vlc can play it then but then I lose the subtitle tract because duno how the controls work on it or how to recreating an index.

Sliders.s04e05.World.Killer.mkv is the file in question.

This file smells fishy:

Code: Select all

[matroska,webm @ 0267CB20] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5002000 [matroska @ 02330050]Codec for stream 2 does not use global headers but container format requires global headers [matroska @ 02330050]st:0 error, non monotone timestamps 21 >= 0

So with MKVToolnix I extracted all of the streams and then remuxed the raw streams, and the new file is playing fine.

k thanks Lotesdelere learned something about editing while trying to get vlc to play the file as I know very lil about video or audio editing. Usually just use VLC as my universal player outside of stuff I know like real player copyrighted codac's and such but this is the first file I have played in years of using VLC it did not like so was saddend but eps 5 - 22 of that series had the same issue 1-4 was okie. But VLC is a awesome player keep up the good work and addition's!
