AVI Playback Broken in 19.78+

[Cinnastar]

I'm just reporting that starting from patch that went through last week the AVI that was set to play in the background of my theme no longer plays and hangs for a couple of seconds in trying to load it, regardless of using Media Foundation.

I fixed this by converting it to an MP4, which is fine but the Theme Editor should be updated because it currently only lets you select an AVI or MPG for video.

So I have solved this problem but I wanted to bring it to your attention, I'm probably not the only one using AVIs as background videos because that's what the editor tells you to use.

Thanks for the continued hard work!

Could you please provide more details, such as your log or the video in question?

It may be the codec not actually AVI.

update:

Avi's work for me. 

It must be the codec.

Media Foundation supports minimal codecs.

I realise it is an option but media foundation is forced on with Nvidia cards.

Really not much i can do as far as i can see.

@Tom SpeirsWould adding LAV Filter codecs in addition to Media Foundation he already has installed be of benefit? Any forseen conflict?

No, unfortunately not. LAV filters are for DirectShow only.
