Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi,

I am trying to get OMXPlayer to play back a few .ogv files I have.

Initially it just said "Have a nice day ", so I followed the instruction at http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... &start=275

typing the following into config.txt:

I have ensured that the start_x.elf file exists, however the fixup_x.elf didnt exist, I only have fixup_x.dat

I have tried both with fixup.elf and fixup.dat.

I now get:

omxplayer.bin: OMXCore.cpp:86: OMX_ERRORTYPE COMXCoreComponent::FreeOutputBuffers(): Assertion 'm_omx_ouput_buffers.size() == m_omx_output_available.size()' failed.
/usr/bin/omxplayer: line 67: 2202 Aborted
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$OMXPLAYER_LIBS${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"$OMXPLAYER_BIN "$@"

playing a the save video but as .mp4 (h264 / AAC) works as expected.

Frame size = 1280x720
fps = 12.5

the Pi is a 256MiB version with 128 config'd to the GPU

any ideas where i am going wrong?

Cheers
Michael

I've the same settings (from long time ago) and I can play ogv video.

Which omxplayer version do you use? I'm using the latest build from http://omxplayer.sconde.net/

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

I have just downloaded the 'latest stable' release:
http://omxplayer.sconde.net/builds/omxp ... _armhf.deb.

I originally used the following command to install and update omxplayer :

sudo apt-get install omxplayer

however I have --purge remove 'd it and installed using wget and dpkg.

I still get the same error message.

I have messed around with the GPU memory to try different sizes, (giving the CPU more memory etc) and it failed to work.

MKV file worked fine (much better than before)

Hi,

I have also tried an rpiupdate to ensure the latest firmware, and have also used a 512 MiB Pi.

Results are still the same

Any ideas?

Cheers
Michael

test ogv file would probably help.

I've got only one ogv file and that has a lower resolution, so you should try something like that, perhaps.

If you makes you feel any better I cannot play OGV with Windows VLC nor can I transcode the audio using WinFF (although the ffmpeg version is quite old).
Sample tested - http://bennugd-vlc.googlecode.com/files/big_buck_bunny_480p.ogv

Is omxplayer certified for playing ogv files??

I've downloaded this file and it plays fine.

Likewise, bbb plays just fine on this RPi:

~/Downloads $ omxplayer big_buck_bunny_480p.ogv
Video codec omx-theora width 720 height 400 profile -99 fps 25.000000
Audio codec vorbis channels 2 samplerate 48000 bitspersample 16
Subtitle count: 0, state: off, index: 1, delay: 0
V:PortSettingsChanged: 720x400@25.00 interlace:0 deinterlace:0 par:1.00 layer:0

Hmmm,

I didn't read this properly...http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 92#p269992

So it can only do SD resolutions


Test files are

1080p http://mirror.bigbuckbunny.de/peach/big ... stereo.ogg

720p http://mirror.bigbuckbunny.de/peach/big ... stereo.ogg

480p http://mirror.bigbuckbunny.de/peach/big ... stereo.ogg


the player baulks at the 1080p version (720 is beyond the resolution of our screen anyway)

but 720p and lower works 'fine' albeit dropped frame rate.

maybe an early exit note..."frame size too large" or something

Cheers
