reading its README, i see only v1 is implemented but those files could be v2 always got this one : ** (process:16810): WARNING **: asfdemux: Audio header contains 10 bytes of surplus data -------------------- have this one for videos only : (process:16810): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: unimplemented vararg field type 1077886004 -------------------- have this one several time (while audio sort of play) ** (process:16811): WARNING **: ffdec_wmav2: decoding error but ffmpeg plays those file well via mplayer so the error is in gstreamer -------------------- one doc (a link in README) about ASF file format is now 404 : working WM9 link : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmform/htm/overviewoftheasfformat.asp

Please provide a sample file.
here is a small one : (< 30KB) http://www.leroutier.net/locke_20.asf
** (process:17392): WARNING **: ffdec_wmav2: decoding error That's probably a ffmpeg setup error, so I'll change the bugname. If you've got other files that don't play, please add them here.
aud : http://www.leroutier.net/Tout-chez-moi-l-habite.wma vdo : http://www.leroutier.net/Battlefield1942-WithoutMe.asf (a .wmv so)
According to a recent message to ffmpeg-devel, this is ffmpeg's fault. Mplayer uses win32 codecs.
gst-player nows plays wma fine. perhaps thanks to jsimon changes today it still display : ** (gst-player:13721): WARNING **: ffdec_wmav2: decoding error but only one time it plays sound fully. only the slider is wrong as it reaches the end of slider before 10s of music (but after, music still plays) later while playing, i got 2 : (gst-player:13721): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: file gstdata.c: line 236 (gst_data_unref): assertion `GST_DATA_REFCOUNT_VALUE (data) > 0' failed but i don't think it is related. gst-player freezes once the song/audio ends. for the video i uploaded (the BattleField 1942 .asf), i got sound working ok but screen remains black. then, later, i've got funky colors in a square while music still plays.
Can you still reproduce that? My ASFs work fine now.
well, you've done a great job : for battlefield video, i have both audio & video (using basicgthread) but only audio using default (opt) => sched issue for tout_chez_moi_l_habite, the wma, it works ok with basicgthread and breaks badly with opt : ** ERROR **: file gstoptimalscheduler.c: line 754 (destroy_group): assertion failed: (group->group_links == NULL) so, well done for the asf/wmv/wma part. i vote for basicgthread as default
Well, exactly, I don't want to waste my time on opt. I have better things to do, like making Totem-gst support more formats (or as many as) totem-xine and mplayer.
