Ampache

Do not issue any bug reports against versions earlier than 3.5.4 they will be closed.

Furthermore, we cannot accept bugs about metadata or art handling in 3.5.4 due to the large number of bugs that have been fixed since then. 3.5.4 in general is becoming less supportable, and it is suggested to try to reproduce the bug in the latest nightly.

Before submitting a bug please read http://ampache.org/wiki/support:bugs failure to do so may delay resolution of your report.

I add a catalog with various video files. When I add one to the playlist and click play, the player popup will appear but nothing will play.

The codec column for all videos shows "/" and the Resolution column for all videos displays "0x0".

Since someone just brought this bug up in chat:

If you're trying to stream via the Flash player (which sounds like a possibility), that's never going to work. The Flash player doesn't even support multiple audio formats, let alone video.

If the video is opening in an external player (not the Flash player) and doesn't play, it's *probably* an issue with that external player, since Ampache just sends a plain HTTP stream without doing anything fancy.

The faulty metadata is an area that needs to be improved. But it doesn't prevent streaming, just looks ugly.
