I can confirm that *.flv files fail to play in totem on the latest Edgy. ffmpeg and gstreamet0.10-ffmpeg are installed.
Google found this random flv for me: blip.tv/file/get/Roland- VanVideoVerite119579.flv It plays fine in VLC on the same system. ** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- Totem can't play flash video files (*.flv) even though ffmpeg supports them https://launchpad.net/bugs/53219 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
