On Feisty, I was able to consistently produce errors with the following files.
vnix$ wget http://www.codectest.com/codectest/streamingcodectest.zip vnix$ unzip streamingcodectest.zip vnix$ totem wheeliesorensonvideo2cbr.mov wheelie.wmv ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-gst-fourcc-Qclp, rate=(int)48000, channels=(int)1 ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer.net|0.10|totem|audio/x-gst-fourcc-Qclp decoder|decoder-audio/x-gst-fourcc-Qclp (audio/x-gst-fourcc-Qclp decoder) no application found ** Message: No installation candidate for missing plugins found. DMO dll supports VO Optimizations 0 1 DMO dll might use previous sample when requested Total Unfree 60 bytes cnt 1 [(nil),0] The "Message:" warnings are from the first video, and the DMO stuff is from the second. They repeat every time I attempt to play these videos. For the audio codec warning, it would perhaps be more appropriate to display a dialog box, since most users probably simply start Totem from the menu, and will never see the warnings in their .xsession-errors. For the DMO warnings, I don't know what they mean, but until they can be made understandable to an intermediate user, perhaps they should simply be suppressed. To some extent, this is probably dependent on the installed codecs. vnix$ ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*codec* /var/lib/dpkg/info/libavcodec0d.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/libavcodec0d.md5sums /var/lib/dpkg/info/libavcodec0d.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/libavcodec0d.postrm /var/lib/dpkg/info/libavcodec0d.shlibs /var/lib/dpkg/info/libxine-extracodecs.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/libxine-extracodecs.md5sums /var/lib/dpkg/info/w32codecs.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/w32codecs.md5sums I believe I originally installed the lpf w32codecs under Dapper; I also have had ubuntu-commercial in my Apt sources.list.d at some point. -- Standard error should remain empty under normal circumstances https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
