GStreamer does not play the MKV-files (video codec AVC1):
Code: Select all
gstfaad.c(1319): gst_faad_chain (): /GstPlayBin2:player/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin1/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin21/GstFaad:faad1:
decoding error: Bitstream value not allowed by specification
matroska-demux.c(6040): gst_matroska_demux_loop (): /GstPlayBin2:player/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin1/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin21/GstMatroskaDemux:matroskademux1:
stream stopped, reason error

Gstreamer plays mkv file perfectly fine here. Are you sure your file is not broken?

The error seems to be related to the audio stream. Either it is broken or not supported. You still can try any other player. Some may handle a broken file better.

Yes, the MPlayer plays, but I want it to be done GStreamer. Sample here (removed).

mplayer2 plays your example file, but it still gives out these errors:
Code: Select all
[aac @ 0x7f0faa8c5dc0]Duplicate channel tag found, attempting to remap.
[h264 @ 0x7f0faa8c5dc0]Cannot parallelize deblocking type 1, decoding such frames in sequential order
[h264 @ 0x7f6add8b2dc0]no picture
I guess the file is broken enough for gstreamer to play it, but mplayer is more forgiving with this one.

Should this be reported to the gstreamer-devel mailing-list of GStreamer?

I installed another builds of the package faad2 from
here and it worked!
This package is built without the parameter "--with-drm".

I actually have no idea if DRM works with faad2. Did anybody ever test it?
