[Matroska-devel] can't play this one file in windows media player

Hi,
I'm using the latest version of Haali media splitter and ffdshow codecs 
in Windows Media Player, no other codecs are installed. I can play all 
kinds of mkv files with all kinds of codecs without any problems (I can 
see the Haali, the ffdshow audio, and ffdshow video tray icons, and 
everything plays fine), except this one:
http://jocohp.hu/bug.mkv (split from the original, 1.17 MiB) (the server 
reports text/plain mime-type, sorry, not my fault)
I can't see any icons in the tray, I can't see the picture, I can hear 
the sound partly but it's very wrong. File->properties says that the 
used video codec is nothing, the used audio codec is the system's mp3 
codec. The reported length is also wrong, about 10 times the actual 
value. I guess it identifies the entire file as an mp3, which makes the 
video data junk, that's why the length is wrong and I hear lots of 
noise. Confirmed on two different PC's, both Windows XP.
The file was created from an avi with the latest mkvtoolnix, and it 
seems to play back just fine with mplayer.
Hope we can resolve this,
Jozsef
