Public bug reported: Affects: totem (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed
Description: In some situations, e.g. when I pop in a DVD movie, Totem opens up and shows an error message like: "Totem could not play 'file:///dev/hdc'. Could not determine type of stream." I assume the actual issue is that Totem/Gstreamer lacks support for some restricted file format, but a regular user would probably be very confused. I recommend something like: "Could not play XXX. Media format is not recognized: <ID-string>. To play this file, you might need to install additional file format support." -- Error message for unsupported media uninformative https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/39683 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
