Kaffeine can't play ogg streams in mkv files

[Vivien Taillandier]

System : Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy).

When I try to play an mkv file with an ogg sound stream, the video plays but there is no sound, although the streams are found.
When look at the informations of the file in Kaffeine, I get :
Ogg Vorbis : 0 kb/s.

I muxed the streams with the mkvmerge program, so I guess the container is OK.
When I try the same file but in an ogm container, there is no problem.

I launched kaffeine from terminal but I didn't get any related informations.

version of xine lib is 1.1.10.1

[Prozzaks (prozzaks)]

I can confirm the problem.

I upgraded to xine-lib 1.1.10 and the audio no longer works if there is a vorbis track in a mkv container.

The problem appears with kaffeine and xine-ui which leads me to beleive that it's not related to the front-end but the lib.

Here is an extract of the output message when playing a problematic file with xine :

gui_xine_open_and_play():
        mrl: 'Montage/[A-F] [Zarxrax] [RVG] Surfing on the Blocks [HQ].mkv',
        sub 'NONE',
        start_pos 0, start_time 0, av_offset 0, spu_offset 0.

xine: found demuxer plugin: matroska demux plugin
demux_matroska: Track 1, V_MS/VFW/FOURCC und
demux_matroska: Track 2, A_VORBIS und

I verified that the file wasn't corrupted by playing it with mplayer. I have many other file that behave the exact same way and they are all mkv containers with vorbis audio tracks. The video always plays correctly regardless of the container and/or codec.

I can confirm this bug.

xine-lib 1.1.10, Debian Lenny, x86.

A config log file that produced a build with the issue

[Prozzaks (prozzaks)]

To make sure this wasn't related to the compile flags or the patches applied by the Gentoo ebuild, I manually built the package from the tarball and hacked my LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that xine would use the manually built lib (verified with ldd.

The issue was still present. This confirms that it's not a Gentoo specific issue just as the previous comment suggests. ;)

I added the configure log as an attachment to this bug.

Reporting in to say that this bug also occurs in the latest version of xine-lib for ubuntu.

The audio format is being recognised, at least. Partial output (with LOG defined when building the vorbis decoder):

Lots more "output not open" lines follow. Looks like the key is to do with the header count. "hg annotate" says that commit b7f7e25ed3935c06544e13af2728f5beebf6ef34 is to blame; reverting this commit does indeed fix the problem.

Thibaut?

Give me a test stream, and I'll fix it.

I've pushed the bugfix to the 1.1 branch.

I have a similar problem with Vorbis in mkv files. I'm also using Ubuntu 8.04.

In Kaffeine I get: Audio: 0kb/s and no sound is played. In Windows Media Classic I get Audio: Vorbis 48000Hz stereo [Audio] and sound works fine.

[GrahamGRA (graham-use-linux)]

Similar problem here too. I'm unsure why but no Xine applications can play the audio from these mkv files I have. I beleive it to be ogg vorbis. There two things I have issues with. One is that the video has two audio channels (confusion?) but also that it works fan-daby-abulous in mplayer - which kindly informs me of this:

==========================================================================
Forced audio codec: mad
Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders
AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 0.0 kbit/0.00% (ratio: 0->192000)
Selected audio codec: [ffvorbis] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg Vorbis decoder)
==========================================================================
AO: [pulse] Failed to connect to server: Connection refused
AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)

I'm confident the pulse audio message doesn't mean anything - mostly because that's the mplayer output in which it happens to work... but the two channels thing is confusing me.

So in my Kubuntu 8.04. Kaffeine with xine-engine can't play vorbis audio in matroska files. But it can with gstreamer-engine and it can play with xine-engine mp3 audio in matroska. Xine player so can't play vorbis audio in matroska files. I think this is xine-vorbis-matroska bug.

[sybreon (ssnt2)]

Same problem I'm experiencing. All players that use Xine for playback are unable to play videos with vorbis audio streams in MKV files. It's a shame because I've encoded a lot of my DVDs using ogmrip with vorbis for audio. Works perfectly well with mplayer.

The xine project has a bug report for this bug, and also committed a fix for it. Since Hardy is using the 1.1 branch, which the fix was released against, will Hardy users be seeing a fix soon?

[Vivien Taillandier (vivien)]

I tried kaffeine with the xine engine under Intrepid and the ogg streams are played.
Should we mark this bug as "Fix released" ?

[ntuple (ntuple)]

Sorry for the newbie question but where can I find an update that works for kaffeine 0.8.6 ?

thanks,
