For installations I'm working with Adafruit's Video looper (found here https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi ... r/overview). This normally only plays H.264, But I found you can buy codecs for WMV & MPEG2. So far so good.
The first movie was stuttering horribly. The second one worked. Since the wmv's were downloaded from a site which dated back to 2008 I saw it as an issue with the site's videos. However when I downloaded a youtube video to wmv it only shows a blank screen. Trying to open the file with omxplayer in commandline gives me "Vcodec id unknown 13"
I can't find any solutions to this problem tho, nor have I any idea what's the problem here..
I'm on a Model 2B with raspbian and only videolooper + codecs installed.
Update: The file that plays is WMV3 and the one that doesn't is WMV2. So that might be issue N°1. So I encoded the WMV2 to WMV3 to make sure it's a codec issue. That one "plays".. For 1.567 seconds or something. And then just quits (commandline OMXplayer) I already upped the graphics memory to 512Mb, so that shouldn't be an issue.. (I just checked, 457M free memory while playing the short fragment..)
/usr/bin/omxplayer: line 67: 2951 Aborted LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$OMXPLAYER_LIBS${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" $OMXPLAYER_BIN "$@"
This is the error I get after a second or so
I now figured out WMV2 will probably never play on Pi (correct me if I'm wrong?)
