I think the problem is not exactly gstreamer related, although it affects most gstreamer-based players, and all non-gstreamer players work fine. The reason I think it is not gstreamer-related is that the following command seems to successfully play the problematic files:
gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///<problematic file> I assume gst-launch-0.10 will use the same gstreamer backend that totem and other gstreamer players as using. I have no clue why they fail and gst-launch works, but I thought this might help find out exactly where the problem comes from. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973014 Title: Fails to decode many common video files encoded as AVC 1 Baseline - L2.1, Baseline - L1.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/973014/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
