Playing wmv file with playbin2 on the dm500hd

  • Hi,


    I am trying to play a wmv file with playbin2 on a dm500hd using the pipeline :-




    Code
    gst-launch -v playbin2 uri=file:///media/hdd/movie/myfile.wmv




    It plays - but only audio. The video does not play. The gstreamer log (attached) shows no missing plugins (I have added the necessary ones - I hope !).




    I shall be grateful for any advice from the gstreamer experts.




    Regards, pcd.

  • I am trying to play short mms .wmv videos from svt play without vlc.


    I can download the mms stream into the box with gst mmssrc.


    I understand from what you wrote - that realtime decoding is not possible. However somebody managed to convert wmv files to mpeg2 ts files - see here :-

    It may then be possible to play the ts file while it is being written - with some start delay.


    My problem is the writer in the gtreamer forum thread did not explain what he exactly did. :frowning_face:
