What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play video with no audio track (confirmed via playing in vlc and the volume starting at 0%)

What is the expected output?
The video to play

What do you see instead?
black screen

The Operating system you are using (Linux, Windows etc)?

Linux
What version ofWebcamStudioare you using?
0.72 build 571
What version of Java are you using?
1.7.0_65

Additional notes
I noticed it by running webcamstudio from terminal, playing a video with an audio track showed all the loadup lines, then it would say Start audio ... Start video ..., but videos with no audio print Start audio ... and just sits there, if i mute the audio which i guess stops it from trying to load audio the video does play, and i'd assume adding an audio track would work also. Possible solution is making it load video before audio? Otherwise i'm fine with the workaround.

    Hi and thanks for the feedback.
    WS currently starts two commands to play audio and video in a file.
    Due to the synch routine implemented, you have to specify if the if the source video has no audio track.
    I put a button in the Movie Stream-Panel to specify that (it is the Crossed Speaker near the play) that has to be activated before playing.
    This will run only the video command ignoring the synch routine and should play fine.
    When you save a studio WS will remember that setting.
    Thanks.
    Have a good day.

    I will try to implement an automatic source audio detection (I think via "avconv -i") and then I will pass the right information, before playing, to the Movie stream-panel.
    Already added to my to-do list.
    Thanks again.
