Description
Summary of the bug: FFMPEG with the newest version works well to create WTV files, however these only work on WMP/MCE. They are not playable on XBMC.
To replicate the issue, take a very simple case:
Take a WTV file, convert to TS, and then convert back to WTV. The resultant file will not play on XBMC.
XBMC (including the latest v11) throws an error: CDVDPlayer::OpenDemuxStream? - Error creating demuxer
However XBMC CAN play the ORIGINAL WTV file without any issues.
I've uploaded a sample file CSI.wtv to the FTP server (or you can use any file). This happens consistently with ANY file.
The reason I picked WTV -> TS -> WTV was to show that original works on XBMC where as the remuxed does not.
How to reproduce:
ffmpeg.2311 -i ..\CSI.wtv -vcodec copy -acodec copy csi-test.ts

Yes I thought so too and debated it, you call finally but here' my thoughts.
Initially I thought it's a XBMC bug, then I relooked at it - how is it that XBMC is able to play the original file and not the remuxed file.
Yes its possible there's a bug in XMBC - but I couldn't overlook the fact that if the Container formats were identical there wouldn't be an issue, possibly something is not right in the container created by FFMPEG which is causing XMBC to bug out.
Again, not saying that it's not a XBMC problem but definitely there's something in FFMPEG which is creating the WTV container is a slightly differnet format than the original WTV container. (after all we're only remuxing it).
Keeping the above in mind, here's something else anohter user reported in their XMBC logs (which also appears to use ffmpeg). Again keep in mind, there goal here is to find out what's differnet about the ffmpeg created wtv vs the original:
:00:15 T:5640 ERROR: ffmpeg[1608]: [wtv] unknown guid 00000000000000000000000000000000, expected dir_entry_guid; remaining directory entries ignored 08:00:15 T:5640 ERROR: ffmpeg[1608]: [wtv] timeline data missing 08:00:15 T:5640 ERROR: CDVDDemuxFFmpeg::Open - Error, could not open file C:\Users\paul\Desktop\S09E11-A Lovely Landing Strip After.wtv 08:00:15 T:5640 ERROR: CDVDFileInfo::ExtractThumb - Error creating demuxer
comment:3 Changed 5 months ago by cehoyos
Is is possible that XBMC is using libavformat to demux wtv files?
comment:5 Changed 5 months ago by ramitbhalla
I've tried XBMC v11 3bit on Windows 7 32 bit SP1. I believe one of the other uesrs tried an older version as well on Windows 7 64 bit.
comment:6 Changed 5 months ago by richardpl
It is obvious xbmc use older ffmpeg. So ticket is invalid.
comment:7 Changed 5 months ago by cehoyos
I tested playback of the remuxed file with ffplay 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.10, 0.11 and 1.0 and all of them work fine, so I wonder why it fails with xbmc.
comment:8 follow-up: ↓ 9 Changed 5 months ago by ramitbhalla
@richardpl - assuming you're read the thread. If it's obvious, why is it able to play MCE recorded WTV files flawlessly?
I.e. the WTV file created by FFMPEG is NOT the same (format wise) as the MCE created WTV file right?
comment:9 in reply to: ↑ 8 Changed 5 months ago by cehoyos
Replying to ramitbhalla:
I.e. the WTV file created by FFMPEG is NOT the same (format wise) as the MCE created WTV file right?
But the relevant application for wtv is WMP (not xbmc).
Does xbmc print the used lavf version or were you able to find out which version was used for compilation?
comment:10 follow-up: ↓ 11 Changed 5 months ago by ramitbhalla
Unfortunately no, I tried play with the log settings but am not able to get anything related to this.
I did check the dll files installed but there are no version numbers on them, however they appear to be build on 3.2.12

If you are unable to look at the sources, you can grep for "lavf" inside the libavformat dll.

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to invalid
The playback problem is reproducible with very old (unsupported) versions of FFmpeg, for example a9d921c, fixed by Peter Ross in January 2011 (e6fb5a4).
If pross wants to work on this, I will be happy to reopen;-)
Note that the two-year old FFmpeg version xbmc uses (if your report is correct) contains hundreds of known, user-reported bugs that have been fixed in current FFmpeg, some of them security relevant (including ones that are said to be actually exploitable), there cannot be any good reason for third party projects to release binaries containing these dll's.
Are you sure that you are reporting this problem on the right bug tracker?
