Hi, guys/gals. First up, hope you had a merry Christmas/happy holidays, hope the fat man in red (or the old codger in green, depending upon the value of $LOCALE) filled your stocking with desired goodness that showed our appreciation of all your hard work.
Okay, onto my issue: as the title suggests, I can play MKVs fine but attempting to play AVIs cause XBMC to crash, requiring a restart over ssh.
Crash Log Here
xbmc.log here
(are they sufficient? I read the FAQ and most required OS info appears to have been captured in the crash log)
Quick potted history, in case any of the details here may be of relevance:
Guessing it could be a codec or some library I'm missing. "mediainfo" about the file shows:
Since I can switch back to my older 32-bit install (I've used separate SSDs) I'm in no rush to get it sorted. So if I get no quick reply, I'll know you're all kicking back, popping open a can or bottle and enjoying the holidays. I don't blame you - you deserve it!
Cheers, people - and have a great new year!

Quick potted history, in case any of the details here may be of relevance:
- Upgraded from 32-bit XBMCBuntu to 64-bit Debian via Bram77's excellent guide and everything came up fine after the install - pretty pain-free install. Ta, Bram!
- Had a minor faff around with getting analogue sound rerouted out through the HDMI cable (I've had issues with this in the past) - used this guide previously and it worked fine, so just repeated the steps.. and sound's returned out through the TV again. A forum post I caught earlier suggested that this step could cause a demuxer conflict of some kind. I'm not convinced, but I'm not the expert on that front.
- AVIs play fine on the older 32-bit install so I know it's not file corruption on the files.
- Just tried other files... the following play fine: .webm .flv .mp3 .mp4
