mplayer doesn't play .avi[SOLVED]

Hello. XBMC and MPlayer doesn't play .avi movies. I have the latest updates and are using mplayer 30325-1 from extra and XBMC xbmc 9.11-8 from community. Anyone else having the same problem?

Re: mplayer doesn't play .avi[SOLVED]

It looks like Mplayer is trying to decode a Xvid stream with ffh264vdpau. This isn't going to work because Xvid isn't H264.

Re: mplayer doesn't play .avi[SOLVED]

Yes. I have this in .mplayer/config:
vo=vdpau,xv
vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau
When commenting out both of them or only vc option mplayer plays the movie. XBMC crashes with segfaults regardless to commented or not.

Re: mplayer doesn't play .avi[SOLVED]

add a comma at the end of the "vc" line:

vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,

This way mplayer will fall back to other coded when the first two fail.

Re: mplayer doesn't play .avi[SOLVED]

Still no success with XBMC thou. I had it running perfectly two days ago. It was an update of xbmc and I wonder if it is the new version that has a problem.

I've been having the same problem, avi files play with mplayer but not XBMC.  Last week it was .mkv files
