I solved this for Totem Movie Player by doing this, Open your terminal , type gstreamer-properties and under Video Tab ,under Video Plugin choose X Window Syste, (No Xv).
Now movies get played in Totem. But in other players like VLC, still it not playing and I tried searching in the options but couldnt find anything that could allow me to change the video plugin. -- Video does not work with Desktop Effects enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102290 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
