In new wineprefix the screen is black for 5-10 seconds and then music starts playing but no opening video shows. Waiting until it's complete or skipping doesn't make difference, the screen stays black after video is complete and nothing happens.
That part is actually wrong or at least it became so a couple wine releases ago.
Part of it is an initialization problem - it seems sometimes proper decoders aren't getting initialized in time for the video stream to be caught by them. It's definitely just a timing problem, as adding a sufficient delay gets those codecs found by gstreamer.
The "stays black" part is a "lack of patience" mistake. The problem here is that for whatever the reason, the event that is supposed to (as it's the standard for intros) interrupt the intro playback and skip straight to the title screen, instead makes the player wait for the duration of the *entire* video clip (regardless of how much of it has already been played) and only then goes to the title screen (as if the timer on the clip was reset but a/v playback got redirected to /dev/null).
