Oh yeah ...my Lubuntu 12.04 came installed with "Gnome mplayer" but when I
installed Gnome-Media-Player my problem "player did not initialize properly"
went away and I could pay my wave files on Reverb Nation. I didn't have
problems with video or flash or You Tube.

For this to be resolved in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, an appropriate fix needs to
be written for libav 0.8. Updating to a newer libav isn't an option as
the API has changed and that would break compatibility with all the

Re 12.04 LTS: It doesn't make sense for an LTS user to add a baroque apt

As I already mentioned here (comment 13) and on AskUbuntu (

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libav-tools libavcodec56

The bug also affects me on 12.04. Often get the "libavcodec may be

error.
Will I have to upgrade to 14.04?
Will the update for 12.04 eventually be available on the standard update
package?

Marking as security; either Firefox is wrong or libavcodec is vulnerable
and probably we need security people to look at it to determine which
one it is...

If libavcodec must be blocked if it is vulnerable. Then the latest
version seems to be a better choice then ESR. But it must be updated in
Ubuntus repos as well. I couldnt find anything related in proposed or

IMHO it is time to include ESR versions of Firefox to Ubuntu LTS instead of
bleeding-edge versions.
For example current Firefox ESR 45.5.1 does not show this error.
