The VideoLAN Forums

I still have many problems with half of my *.mkvs, but I can't figure out a pattern. See "Edit" below ->

- Files on my two NAS don't open at all. CPU goes uo to 100%, total freeze of PC after 3-5 minutes, if don't exit VLC manually by Task manager, etc..
- Local files: Just the same behaviour - freeze comes faster
- Debug window shows no errors. Last I can see before freeze is: "no art"
- Same thing on my Laptop with 2.2.0 and an older XP computer, so I shouldn't be the only one.

Newest nightly 03/28 doesn't help.
Kodi, MP Classic, VLC Android or MX works fine.
I'm completely at a loss...Greetings!

EDIT: One step futher...it seems all "bad" mkv have TAGS for the track IDs. If I mux again without the tag ids all is fine. The video and audio stream are not the problem:

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 Zippyshare.com (200 MB max) and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

50 MB max should be enough.
