Bug#595452: mplayer: Fails to play recent Matroska (MKV) files: "Track 1 has been compressed with an unknown/unsupported compression algorithm (3)"

2010-09-03 Thread Josh Triplett
Package: mplayer
Version: 2:1.0~rc3++final.dfsg1-1
Severity: important

I recently encountered several Matroska (MKV) files that mplayer cannot play.
For a couple of examples, try
http://www.archive.org/download/ArcadeTheSimpsonsTheArcadeGame4-playerIn1337.73_956/simpsonsarcade-tas-adelikatdarkkobold.mkv
and
http://www.archive.org/download/SegacdTheTerminatorIn1320.67/terminator-tas-adelikatcardboard.mkv
..

mplayer says:
[mkv] Track 1 has been compressed with an unknown/unsupported compression
[mkv] algorithm (3). Skipping track.
[mkv] Track ID 1: video (V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC), -vid 0
[mkv] Track ID 2: audio (A_VORBIS), -aid 0, -alang und
[mkv] Will play video track 1.

This then leads to errors playing the video track later:
Starting playback...
[h264 @ 0x7fc284953600]AVC: nal size 2556773
[h264 @ 0x7fc284953600]no frame!

[h264 @ 0x7fc284953600]no frame!

Those messages repeat forever until I Ctrl-C mplayer.

totem plays the same file without issue.

Sounds reasonable. Done.

Ok. It's in progress. I'll report back, when done.


First off, many thanks to you all for your help.

IOhannes helped me putting up a new upstream version 0.3.2, which has 
now a fixed Makefile and also a license file. So I could remove the 
quilt patch wierdness.


I hope it looks OK now.


I noticed you switched to source version 3.0 from quilt to native.  I 
would suggest to keep using the quilt flavor even if not currently 
needing any patches: if at some point upstream code is changed - 
accidentally or deliberately - we want it to be treated by packaging 
routines as a patch, not a change by upstream.



Ah, one thing: Since it wasn't put to the archive yet, I didn't add a 
new changelog entry, but updated the existing one. Is this the correct 
way?


Yes, that's correct.

:-)

First off, many thanks to you all for your help.

IOhannes helped me putting up a new upstream version 0.3.2, which has
now a fixed Makefile and also a license file. So I could remove the
quilt patch wierdness.

I hope it looks OK now.

Your version of alsa-lib is:

And this is the version that we are going to ship in squeeze.

Does sound work with non-audio cd media like .ogg files or movie files?

Under Debian and derivatives, alsa-lib is called "libasound2".
