further info: Well it seems that its not only terminal, for example: if I open system monitor first and then double click on the movie file, video playback is perfectly smooth! The moment I close system monitor during the playback it becomes laggy again.
However not all applications have this effect, for instance opening calculator before playing the movie doesn't have any effect and the playback would still be laggy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792437 Title: totem video play back laggy when opened through GUI, running it from terminal is OK To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/1792437/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
