Description

I have some .OGM files with an odd playback crash.

  1. Near the end of the .OGM video, Showtime will stop and display an error:
    file://[PATH TO CURRENTLY PLAYING VIDEO FILE]
Unable to start video playback
libav error -5

I have attached a sample that will display the error almost instantly. Longer samples (~20 minutes) will only crash at about 90% playback. So, the problem appears to happen near the end of .OGM files. I tested this sample from the PS3 internal HDD prior to submitting it here.

If the .OGM is remuxed to .MKV, then Showtime will play the file without crashing.

----------
I don't think .OGM was ever an official standard, but it does play fine in VLC player.

videoplayback: If we get an error during playback wait until buffers are empty before we exit.

This seems to happen for OGM by default
