Don't change the distro please until this issue is solved. Otherwise we won't know what's causing it.
Any bug messages? (Run totem by: "totem --debug > totem.log" and post the result after totem has crashed.) This problem doesn't seem to be related to totem since "mplayer simply disappears" for you as well. It seems as if the codecs could cause this rather than totem and mplayer. Is it the same with VLC as well? If so I would start by purging all totem packages, mplayer packages and w32codecs and try reinstalling them. -- can't play avi video Movie player closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/323570 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
