I think this really is a bug with Jaunty. I notice other users are have the same; and similar issues after "upgrading". I have tried re-installing all the codecs, the player software, and tried all the suggestions on the Medibuntu worksheet. The only way to get video to play is to open multiple players, and this only works sometimes. Here's the only way to get video or dvds to play: 1. open a video file using xine. you will have audio only. while file #1 is running open a video file or dvd with VLC , Mplayer, or totem. Video #2 will now play with audio and video. You can close video file #1 and #2 will stay open. Sometimes this works. Simply trying to open a file normally results in either a blank player, audio only or a few frames and the player crashes.
Seeing as how the videos will play using the play window of several editing packages, I think that the issue is with how Jaunty handles the player packages. The files and codecs are definitely there, Jaunty just doesn't find them. -- Jaunty wiped out video players https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369579 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
