VLC 1.0.0-git crashes on playing a WMV file

[Lotesdelere]

As said in the topic title, VLC 1.0.0-git crashes when trying to play this file:
http://propergraphics.com/3dlowpoly/Koe ... ull_HD.wmv

However the file is playing fine in VLC 0.9.8a.
Tested on Windows XP Pro.

Ticket #2441

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Disable DMO and play with FFMPEG. I don't think DMO works on 64-bits.

[0x107dc680] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `wmap'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

moved libdmo_plugin.dll out then there's no audio

Disable DMO and play with FFMPEG. I don't think DMO works on 64-bits.

I'm not using the DMO switch and in the Preferences the option "Prefer system plugins over VLC" is unticked.
But I do have the WM DLL's in VLC folder. VLC is selecting the DMO audio codec by its own. However notice that it's also using the Ffmpeg video codec by its own and not the DMO one.

I'm not on XP 64 bits but on XP 32 bits and, as I said, it's working fine with v0.9.8a. So to me it looks like a regression.

You're right seems more like a regression to me as 0.9-bugfix branch works just fine here, so this affected the vlc-1.0.0 libdmo_plugin.dll.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Patch welcome. DMO is totally not a priority since it only works on Windows and is not free software.

[Lotesdelere]

Well, since it's working fine on v0.9.x you already have the patch

I see no reason to change this pîece of the code, don't break what is working fine.
It wouldn't be a good idea to ignore that 90% of the computers in the world are running Windows and that Windows Media files are widely used.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Yeah sure. You are conveniently omitting that the DMO plugin, as it is in 0.9.0 does not work in 1.0 due to core and other changes... to the best of my knowledge at least.

I get the same problem with the latest nightly (currently: vlc-1.0.0-pre1-20090328-2307)
I'm currently running windows 7 x64

it also crashes with version vlc-0.9.9-rc2-20090328-0105....

Are you sure you don't have the WMA bug. Deactivate SSE acceleration and restart VLC.

That didn't help.

And my initial test was done far before the SSE bug occured in the nightlies.

I was talking to LazyBoot.
About your dmo issue, there is a fix in VLC tree. Let see if it works tonight.

you were right, well thanks for the fix (for my issue anyway)
