Hence, why filing a bug is a good thing ;) (also because google indexes them really well, and then people might find a solution easier or avoid upgrading as they can see there is a problem.... it is in the experimental branch for a reason ;) > Upstream's position is that it is a Libav bug, since the video plays > fine with the embedded ffmpeg copy shipped with vanilla XBMC. Makes sense; (I quite understand btw why they do not like maintaining multiple video libraries) > I have to agree with them thus I hereby reassign both bugs to libav. > If this is a result of API difference between FFmpeg and Libav, please > help me out, too. I had not noticed that libav10 was being used; I checked and indeed it is libav10 that it is linked against. Is libav10 a requirement, as otherwise linking to libav9 might be an option that might just work ;) (and would exclude in a way if the fault is in xbmc or libav...)

I guess that you mean what is causing it rather than the problem, as the problem is easy: no rendering as something fails (likely libav) With no crash dump or otherwise extended details that is indeed going to be hard. One would have to either modify xbmc to print out all the arguments passed to the API calls. At least, the good thing is that it is checking the results of the calls and hence reporting an error. > What API is at fault here? can you provide a minimal example program > that demonstrates what the problem is? I am just a user in this case, the "minimal program" would also be quite hard to do I think... as well video stuff is never minimal. Now... if you had a minimal example program, I would be quite willing to try that out of course and see if that exhibits the same problem. I don't seem to find a simple example in the libav sources.
