Public bug reported: As of Totem-3.4.x, AVC & MPEG4 videos, (.mov. .mp4, ect.), are not displayed in browser window though the audio will play. Reverting to 3.0.2 or in totem-mozilla on 12.04 & earlier the same videos are fine, whether online or local files opened in a browser like Firefox.
Though possibly semi-related to this current open, ignored bug this extends to files that currently play fine in totem/gstreamer in 12.10, not just the type affected by the broken bad plugin, so NOT a dupe Bug 973014 Attached is a simple teartest video that should play fine in a browser, will so with any totem-mozilla version earlier than 3.4 As far as an online sample .mov's from this site should playback, they don't in 3.4 http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/hd/ Direct link to one such video http://anon.nasa-global.edgesuite.net/HD_downloads/Arthur_Christmas.mov ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.36-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-5.5-generic 3.5.0-rc7 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-5-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.4-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Jul 25 02:34:39 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Alpha amd64 (20120707) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gstreamer0.10 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: totem (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug quantal running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1028755 Title: Totem-mozilla fails to decode, (display) AVC & MPEG4 videos, both online & local To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/1028755/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
