View Full Version : Playback halts at end of video, stays at buffering message until forced to exit

Anyone else getting occasional problems with video files not ending cleanly to return back to the file directory view?
I sometimes have podcast files (h264 .mov) and some other .mp4 files where playback halts right at the end and the 'buffering' message pops up. This is on locally stored video files over SMB on a Gig ethernet network.
This didn't occur for me with the earlier builds.
I have to hit x to exit playback.

yeah it happens to me too, I'll check if it's fixed in the next build and get back to you.

Just checked... not fixed in the last version. I've noticed it happens with mkv files usually. I'll check into it some more.

Thanks, it's a real annoying bug...
But not life/equipment threatening ;)

I've seen this in my current linux build - 12904 + libass patch. I'm going to set up a video playlist and let it run for the day tomorrow for my linux box and my mac. See if it gets hung up on either.

Here's a pastebin of it happening in 0.5.0b1

I may write up a ticket later, but it will be a few hours at least. The clock stopped at 24:08/24:09, and the file I was playing was:
[Conclave-Mendoi]_Mobile_Suit_Gundam_00_-_06_[1280x720_H.264_AAC][E36E3B71].mkv
available in this torrent:

I ran the same playlist on my linux box (12094 + libass patch) and the same thing happened on the same file (at what looks like the same frame). I can capture a log from there later.

Sorry for my tardiness on this, but I just submitted a bug report for this phenomenon.
