[mythtv-users] problems with some MKV files

Wed Dec 29 16:58:19 UTC 2010

Still having problems about playing some MKV files:
I've just updated from git repos this morning and recompiled my whole 
system (1MBE +4FE)
# mythbackend --version
Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.
MythTV Version   : v0.24-90-g3cf32e8
MythTV Branch    : fixes/0.24
Network Protocol : 63
Library API      : 0.24.20101129-1
QT Version       : 4.7.1
Options compiled in:
  linux release using_alsa using_oss using_backend using_bindings_perl 
using_bindings_python using_dvb using_firewire using_frontend 
using_hdhomerun using_hdpvr using_iptv using_ivtv using_joystick_menu 
using_lirc using_mheg using_opengl_video using_opengl_vsync using_qtdbus 
using_qtwebkit using_v4l using_x11 using_xrandr using_xv using_xvmc 
using_xvmc_vld using_xvmcw using_bindings_perl using_bindings_python 
using_mythtranscode using_opengl using_vdpau using_ffmpeg_threads 
using_live using_mheg

On all machines I have my NAS mounted at /storage/movies - And from 
there I'm trying to play mkv files on my FE in the livingroom - only one 
with HD options.
So trying to play a file I'm getting this error on the Frontend Log ( 
But none at the backendlog)

I've updated libaacs libbluray and allso aacskeys and nowhere does my 
frontendlog says it see the KEYDB.cfg where I've followed the 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/High_Definition_Disk_Formats#Watching_With_the_Internal_Player_.28recommended.29  
- What goes wrong here - I'm using 1000mbs LAN so speed shouldn't be the 
problem....
Does anyone have a clue about this - Some files are able to play and 
some are not ?

TIA
Per
