Description
Initially posted here by Thrillhou, 26/04/10.
The Xbox version of XBMC fails to properly play back video when it is encoded using the newer Theora 1.1 codec. The video plays with terrible artifacts and distortion preventing anything useful from being seen.
Old Theora videos created with the less effective 1.0 version of the codec play fine, but any videos using the newer version have this issue. Have tried sample videos from the net and tried making my own using latest version of ffmpeg2theora, all result in the same issue. The same videos can be played back perfectly fine in VLC or the Live Linux version of XBMC.
From some quick searching on the net, it sounds like this is an old issue in ffmpeg failing to follow the Theora spec. If this is the case then it's likely that the fix has not been merged into the xbox branch. Here's the link I found that seems to describe the same issue: https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue579

At the time of r30444, DVDPlayer now simply calls it an unsupported codec and doesn't attempt playback at all.

Ddi you enable full codec support? There are two sets of dvdplayer libraries. one with only more popular codecs compiled in and another full one. you can switch it at settings/video/player

Oh yeah, I'd managed to forget about that. Works fine that way.
