Does this include games that "hang" after finishing a video? By this I mean you usually have to press start, select, or some other button to get around them not finishing automatically.

[hrydgard]

That's also a video issue indeed, although of course not as critical.

[bonquacks]

Sorry to butt in, but isn't this sorta a duplicate of #2172 ?

At least I think it is, I was just searching around.

[vsub]

ppsspp also freeze on Dead Head Fred when he tries to load the first video(making the game unplayable)
the problem is somewhere between 0.8.1 and 0.8.1-8

It's ok on 0.8.1

[thedax]

To name a few:

• Final Fantasy II EU (ULES00987) almost always hangs with a black screen after letting the attract FMV play, also forcing the user to press start to finish it.
• Pangya: Fantasy Golf US(ULUS10438) on x64 (I don't think I've seen this happen on x86) sometimes hangs with graphical garbage onscreen when trying to play its attract FMV, until the user presses start to skip it.
• (64-bit only) Monster Hunter 2nd G JP (ULJM05500) sometimes hangs with a black screen after playing a video, forcing the user to press start/select/some other button to end it.

Here's a screen of Pangya to show what I mean:

Fixed games on this list:

• Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD/Monster Hunter Portable 3rd
• Phantasy Star Portable 2 (was caused by a bad dump)

Heroes VS (NPJH50660) doesn't play the intro movie aswell, the only way to advance is to skip it by pressing start, the log continuously spam these lines:
10:41:217 W[HLE]: HLE\sceUtility.cpp:94 __UtilityGetStatus() Faked dialog : wrong dialog type
10:41:217 E[HLE]: HLE\sceUtility.cpp:419 UNIMPL -2146369531=sceUtilityGamedataInstallGetStatus()
10:41:219 W[HLE]: HLE\sceUtility.cpp:94 __UtilityGetStatus() Faked dialog : wrong dialog type
10:41:219 E[HLE]: HLE\sceUtility.cpp:419 UNIMPL -2146369531=sceUtilityGamedataInstallGetStatus()

which I find odd, from what I can read it does complain about the install data function, what have in conjunction with the opening is beyond me.
Aside this, does the issue related to God eater burst fit this page aswell? As far I know the game crashes after the ending credits before asking to save the game on chapters 6 and 10, it tries to play something which can't be skipped, leading to a CTD.

[iWaambo14]

Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker continues to load forever & never load game after intro video. Unplayable

[thedax]

On Android, perhaps. Works fine on Windows.

[dbz400]

Midnight Club 3 missing video at the very beginning .

[internetakias]

P2 Innocent Sin hangs only a few seconds into the OP on the latest android build now.

[arg274]

I remember that in an old build (FFMPEG wasn't implemented then) MotorStorm could reach upto 'loading'.and right then PPSSPP freezed.(not a crash,a freeze)

[sfageas]

The Warriors hangs at Rockstar Games logo

[vsub]

Some more:
Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 - crashing before loading the video
Key of Heaven - it was working(kinda)before but now if don't hold X when you start the game until the title,screen,the game will freeze when the first video start(which is actually black screen...it was visible before but the speed was really low)...the other videos a re black screen too but it doesn't freeze on all of them.

Stack trace of Naruto Heroes 3:

>   PPSSPPWindows64.exe!MediaEngine::openContext() Line 237 C++
    PPSSPPWindows64.exe!MediaEngine::addStreamData(unsigned char * buffer, int addSize) Line 296    C++

    PPSSPPWindows64.exe!__KernelReturnFromMipsCall() Line 3235  C++
    PPSSPPWindows64.exe!CallSyscall(Memory::Opcode op) Line 490 C++

It seems to be getting the wrong video stream id or something. It has an access violation trying to get the codec pointer.

[unknownbrackets]

Try:

if (m_videoStream == -1) {

->

if (m_videoStream == -1 || m_videoStream >= (int)m_pFormatCtx->nb_streams) {

[thedax]

That fixes it, but now it hangs on the second movie it tries to play, e.g. the second developer logo.

[unknownbrackets]

It keeps calling sceMpegGetAtracAu(), I think it thinks the audio is behind...

[unknownbrackets]

Potentially also Zero no Kiseki according to the forum.

[unknownbrackets]

Heavens Will (ULJM05186)
Ace Combat: Joint Assault (if I understand right)

Also World Neverland: #2642.

[papel]

Zero no Kiseki worked in the past (#698).

[papel]

I have a small problem with Lunar: The Silver Star.
Before the beginning of any video, the game may or may not freeze in black screen and the video does not start. I see nothing different in the log.
If I reset the game or load a state and try to start the video again, the problem always happens.
If I close the emulator, open it again, load a state and try to start the video, the problem may or may not happen again.
The easiest way to test it is with the opening video, after Xseed logo.

[unknownbrackets]

Hmm, which region? Does pressing start skip it, or it just hangs?

-[Unknown]

[papel]

USA version.
Yes, pressing start skips it and the game continues normally and other videos may work again.

[brujo5]

same problem in obscure the aftermath.

[dbz400]

Just for record .Starting video in GTA series have been missing.

@raven02

The issue for the missing GTA videos (including the responsible commit) is documented here:-

"Flesh Adobe", can influence video clip demonstration?

[hrydgard]

@QWEmct , that was completely incomprehensible. Are you using automatic translation?

[ghost]

Yes.
I already in pictures explain to you, and you don't understand.

[Bigpet]

@QWEmct it's really hard to understand you. If you don't know anyone who can help you with a translation, can you go into the ppsspp sub-forum for your language and ask one of them to translate for you? http://forums.ppsspp.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=18

Because whatever automatic translation you are using just doesn't work very well.

[hrydgard]

@QWEmct , thanks, I've added those to the list in the first post.

[ghost]

thanks

[unknownbrackets]

I'm pretty sure Silent Hill works much better (don't know about videos) in the latest git build so all of those may only be problems in v0.9.8.

-[Unknown]

[ghost]

I think that my problems because of the card memory stick 'Pro Duo. & memory stick 'Micro.'

"IL-2.iso" - closed.

Still yesterday it worked.

Yes, video plays. But there was no such plate earlier.

@hrydgard
Can close\reopen a new this issue ?

[unknownbrackets]

I think we've resolved a large number of these, but some are left. These are the ones I think are remaining:

Bust-a-Move Deluxe
Star Wars Lethal Alliance (#2997)
Megaman Maverick Hunter X (#3318, but skippable)
AVATAR (video broken).
MX vs. ATV Reflex(Game doesn't work).
MediEvilResurrection______(Sound scraps).

Hysteria Project (#3844)
Pacman World 3
Silent_Hill_Shattered_Memories_______(Game doesn't work).

If anyone can confirm if any of these are no longer problems, maybe we should create a new issue indeed.

-[Unknown]

[daniel229]

Pacman World 3 and Silent_Hill_Shattered_Memories work fine.

[unknownbrackets]

@hrydgard this bug seems to have a lot of participants and a lot of images that make my browser slow on loading. I'm thinking it might be better to have separate issues for remaining games at this point, and close this - what do you think?

-[Unknown]

[hrydgard]

I'm fine with that.

[unknownbrackets]

Okay, #8795 created for Bust-A-Move Deluxe - for the others, we don't have much detail, so I've instead reached out in the forum for more current information. Note that MediEvil already had a note that videos were working.

Closing this.

-[Unknown]

[ToastedSyrup]

It's not an issue of hanging but apparently the ability to disable media engine helps fix the audio bugs in twisted metal head on where only the special SFX can be heard.
