Public bug reported: Binary package hint: totem
Playback of MPEG files recorded at high quality (720x480 @ 384Kbps) is limited to a few seconds before the buffer reloads whilst playing over the network. I can playback low quality (e.g. cartoons 480x480 @ 256Kbps) fine over the network. Local copies of high quality video play fine too. The network is fast enough as I've been able to copy the entire hours worth of high quality video in 4 minutes to the local drive over the network. Something in Totem causes higher bitrate files to re- buffer every few seconds. See http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=255906&highlight=totem+video+buffer for the exact same issue. ** Affects: totem (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Mpeg playback from windows share really choppy https://launchpad.net/bugs/84729 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
