Details

Description: Just after a recent upgrade, I went to rewatch some ogv files from a playlist of mine, and only the first second or two of each video will play. It seems as if mplayer thinks the file itself ends at 2 seconds. Other file formats/containers seem to work just fine. Here's the output from mplayer:

Additional info:
* mplayer 31303-1
* libogg 1.2.0-1
* libvorbis 1.3.1-1

No special configuration being used (to my knowledge).


Steps to reproduce:

Just load an ogv file in mplayer and attempt to play it.
This task depends upon

Got some feedback from the IRC channel. Here's a link to an .ogv file for testing:

The last version of mplayer I used (which worked) is 31147-2. I hope this clears things up.

report upstream, mostly is a know bug because, if you look in Changelog, they changed the demuxer for mkv and ogg.

The latest update to mplayer fixed some of the problems; I can play some of the ogv files, but at certain points the files just stop playing and move onto the next file in the playlist... It seems like there was a regression somewhere.
