           Summary: MCI open+play .avi hangs
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.34
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winmm&mci
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: hoehle at users.sourceforge.net


Perhaps this simple scenario explains one or another hang in some application.

Please use my mci command shell at bug #20232, comment #10 to enter the
following commands:
open z:\...path\to\wine-src\dlls\shell32\searching.avi alias v
play v
Wine hangs.

Alternatively:
open z:\...path\to\wine-src\dlls\shell32\searching.avi alias v
play v wait
does not hang. Use
close v
Ctrl-D to exit the shell.

open z:\...path\to\wine-src\dlls\shell32\searching.avi alias v
window v show
play v
does not hang either.

Supposedly you can use any .avi file of your choice.  If you prefer, you can
write a 20 liner C program to send the commands instead of using my shell.

Perhaps there's some race condition? The play command must open a window if
none is present (native does so).  "play v wait" shows that Wine can do it too,
yet the "play v" without previously opened window hangs.

BTW, the window that Wine opens for the video is larger than the one native
opens. It looks like there's room reserved to the right for a scrollbar. This
could explain some layout discrepancies in some applications. But that's
another issue.
