Matroska video not played correctly

Forum thread started by enzo on Mon, 2011-08-29 08:30

Hi,
I tired to watch movie in the matroska format. It looked very odd. I can watch only the part of the movie. The other part was out of the display.
When I entered the fullscreen mode there was overlapping - a part of the output lied on the other part.

I am guessing this can be joined to how the virtual screen works.

You could try VLC player to play mkv videos

If you have intel graphics I have seen weirdness with the hardware overlay and some codecs not playing nice, for whatever reason. Its under preferences in media player.

I have ATI Radeon 7500 video card. But I started to think that these issues are connected to an unclean/broken installation. In fact I am surprised that Haiku works at all.

A new issue with matroska is that there is no sound in VLC. I won't post a ticket till I will be sure these are internal Haiku bugs (not an installation's failure).

BE sure to turn on Messages setting under preferences in VLC so it gives you errors to look at. Sometimes this helps to solve the issue.
