Incompatible ANIM files

[MaddTheSane]

I've come across a section of IFF ANIMs that aren't compatible with AnimPlayer. The file command says this:

At the Movies 1.anim: IFF data, ANIM animation
At the Movies 2.anim: IFF data, ANIM animation

(files taken from http://www.randelshofer.ch/animations/anims/eric_w_schwartz/At_the_Movies.anim.html and http://www.randelshofer.ch/animations/anims/eric_w_schwartz/ATMFinal.html respectively)
The first is not playable by AnimPlayer, while the second one is.

But the ffprobe shows something different:

I'd like to say that the first has the first IFF slice as an audio sample, but unfortunately I can't get MultiShow working (it has an option to view media chunks, including IFF chunks).

I'm afraid I can't do much about this, as the Anim support comes from Hollywood itself - if it fails to play back some formats, it's Hollywood that needs to be fixed/updated, and then this player can be compiled with the latest version to include the fix.

Feel free to raise the issue in the Hollywood forums as well, if you want: https://forums.hollywood-mal.com/
