[mythtv-users] Playback issue with certain video

Hi all,

I basically think the video that comes from me camera is a bit naff
and upsets mythfrontend, so was wondering if anyone fancied testing it
on their system.  14MB sample below:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/419095/2012-10-20-mythvideo/2012-09-09_16-32-30.AVI

I get a ton of errors when playing this in mythfrontend, but it does
seem to play OK in VLC and the like.  Kdenlive video editor does have
an audio issue with these clips as well, which is why I think it is
the video at fault.

Full log below, but it is essentially full of:

2012-10-20 17:29:52.661934 N  Player(0): Waited 102ms for video
buffers Afffffffffffffffffffffffffff

and

2012-10-20 17:29:53.063261 N  Player(0): Timed out waiting for frames, and
			there are not enough free frames. Discarding buffered frames.

and

2012-10-20 17:29:53.455631 I  Player(0): Video is 3.44964 frames ahead of audio,
			doubling video frame interval to slow down.


I saw the following also:

2012-10-20 17:29:51.471908 E  ALSA: Requested 500000us got 256000 buffer time
2012-10-20 17:29:51.472042 E  ALSA: Try to manually increase audio
buffer with: echo 128 | sudo tee
/proc/asound/card0/pcm3p/sub0/prealloc

Tried running that command, but with no luck.

This may also be an issue:

2012-10-20 17:29:51.468870 E  AFD: Unknown video codec - defaulting to MPEG2

So if anyone can test on their systems, that would be much
appreciated, just so I know if I have an issue here or not

Thanks

Martin
