VeroV problem with some VC1 content

Hi,

do you have an idea, why there is some VC1 content that plays just fine, but also some, that lags and where the audio drifts after a couple of minutes?

This one is mediainfo for a normal working one:

ID                                       : 1

And the following one there the movie starts stuttering, only plays normal speed after I fast forwarded once. THen after a couple of minutes audio starts to drift. Can be fixed with fast forward/backward again, but starts drifting again:

Can you already spot an issue from the mediainfo and codec or do you need a debug log for both playbacks or video sample files?

Did you already give the Kodi v21 testbuild (see: [TESTING] Kodi v21 release builds) a try? There’re some VC1 related fixes in that testbuild.

But the drift issue was also reported to exist in that testbuild and I’m already investigating it.

nah I am waiting for final plus first bugfix release before I move on :slight_smile:
