Hey everyone, that's the log of what is happening. I have 3 videos, all encoded the same way. All 3 will play in VLC with no problem. But when I try to open them in XBMC, only one plays. The others will start playing back sound, but no video ever comes up. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
Well those videos seem to be wonky for our ffmpeg. The VDA Hardware decoder refuses to open them (so its not the kind of h.264 it expects) and it falls back to ffmpeg which then returns this error for each frame it tries to decode:

Code:
3049.
01:25:26 T:4658049024   ERROR: ffmpeg[15A43000]: [h264] AVC: nal size 3060801
3050.
01:25:26 T:4658049024   ERROR: ffmpeg[15A43000]: [h264] no frame!
3051.
01:25:26 T:4658049024   ERROR: Decode - avcodec_decode_video returned failure

Try to disable VDA decoding in system->video->playback and see if this fixes it (i doubt it...).

Else you could try a gotham nightly or alpha build and see if this fixes it (we updated ffmpeg there...)
