Media player codec pack 4.3 75/5/2023 ![]() I might mess with these eventually if I can find the time or energy, but in case someone else wants to give it a try, this list might be a good starting point. It is possible that one of these codec packs will solve the problem, or maybe something else that I'm not aware of will work. Some that I've used in the past include K-Lite Codec Pack Basic, LAV Filters, Media Player Codec Pack v4.5.3, and Windows Media Player 9 and 10. Winetricks makes some, but not all, readily available. ![]() There are lots of other codec packages floating around the web that sometimes help with older games. It could be worth installing Windows Media Player 8, but I haven't tried that yet. I tried installing that, but it didn't fix the problem or change the error messages. Winetricks doesn't have that, but it has Windows Media Player 9 (wmp9). Winegstreamer: error: asfdemux0: gstasfdemux.c(2190): gst_asf_demux_loop (): /GstBin:bin0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0/GstASFDemux:asfdemux0:įrom this, I think it needs some Windows Media codecs or equivalents, and gstreamer doesn't have what it needs. Winegstreamer: error: asfdemux0: Internal data stream error. Missing decoder: Microsoft MPEG-4 4.3 (video/x-msmpeg, msmpegversion=(int)43, width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, framerate=(fraction)25/1) Gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:i386 and gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly:i386Īfter doing this, the error messages changed as follows: Upon doing some research, I found that 32-bit games sometimes need 32-bit versions of gstreamer plugins that aren't always included in default installations. Missing decoder: Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) (video/x-ms-asf) Winegstreamer: error: decodebin0: gstdecodebin2.c(4678): gst_decode_bin_expose (): /GstBin:bin0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0: Winegstreamer: error: decodebin0: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in. (The launch window works, but then it hangs on black screen.) Using Wine 6.5 with a 32-bit prefix, and Siege of Avalon Anthology v1.02 (the latest update as of this writing), I got the following error message when I first tried it. The steps below might not work on other distributions. ![]() I tried playing both of them with mplayer, and they seem to work fine, so I don't think they are corrupted. This game has two video files in the Movies directory. Sometimes, games use weird or non-standard codecs and/or the video files are corrupted or have compatibility issues, and this often games to crash or lock up. This is a common issue with older games - audio/video codecs are quite the nuisance, especially in the late 1990s-late 2000s period. Just in case it helps others who are trying to make this work, I'll post my findings here, and maybe somebody will get a good idea from this and will figure it out.īasically, I think it is a audio/video codec problem. (I really want to retire that old Mac and free up the space that it occupies, but there always seem to be a few older games that persistently refuse to work with Wine.) I have an old Mac with a Windows partition, so sometimes when older games don't like to work with Wine, I'll just use the old Mac - for me, that is the easiest solution, at least for now. However, I don't have the time or energy to pursue it further right now. I haven't solved the problem, but I have done some troubleshooting.
