Ubuntu Hardy/8.04 Desktop has reached EOL (end-of-life) status. See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
I've tried recreating this bug with Precise/12.04 and was unable to, given the information you've provided. Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. If the bug is still reproducible, increase the verbosity of the steps (run totem from terminal and attempt to play flv) to recreate it so we can try again. Do feel free to report any other bugs you may find. ** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020920 Title: totem movie player 2.22.1 unable to play .flv file Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: unable to play a video of .flv file after installing reuired codecs for the player itself.
