#13816: Donna Avenger of Blood doesn't start because of a avi video without
extension
-------------------+-------------------------
Reporter:  i30817  |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal  |  Component:  Engine: AGS
 Version:          |   Keywords:  video crash
    Game:          |
-------------------+-------------------------
 Warning: i'm using a libretro core, but not the outdated one, but one that
 uses current scummvm code and uses a 'platform' backend as the libretro
 part, so all the 'engine' code is current (sort of, i built it last week).

 Anyway, this AGS game is failing, because upstream behaves slightly
 different.

 https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/issues/1758

 Upstream skips the video without showing any message if it can't play the
 video. Since AGS does not support AVI for a long while now, it just skips
 the video (it's no big deal in this game, and the video is kitsch anyway).

 Scummvm crashes to debugger.

 As mentioned in that bug report, upstream is allowing ogv videos to play
 without the extension (and in this game the video is a extension less file
 named 'terminus' in the root of the game dir), so users could re-encode
 the video to 'fix it'.

 But i believe that scummvm should follow upstream here and videos it can't
 play shouldn't crash the game to the debugger. Log a warning, sure.
