Public bug reported:
I've never had a problem with playing restricted formats in Ubuntu,
until upgrading to Lucid development branch. Not sure what happened,
but now when I click on an mp4 or flv video in nautilus, it opens up
totem and asks whether I would like to search for a suitable codec. I
let it search, and it finds nothing, so it starts playing the audio
only. At first, even mplayer and vlc would also no longer play the
files. mplayer gave an error on startup as follows:
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libopencore-amrnb.so.0:
wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
So, I built libopencore-amrnb0 from source and installed it and now
mplayer and vlc are playing the videos fine. Totem still refuses to
recognize the videos. I assume I've done something to bork my system,
but I would appreciate any input or suggestions for further debugging
this problem.
Thanks to everyone for their work.
