It appears to affect several h.264 encoded videos I have. I have recently purchased a number of course videos consisting each of individual clips - and none of those will play. They do play in VLC and SMPlayer so I assume the clips are fine.
As for precedents, I cannot think of any. It is true I have had the occasional h.264 video failing to render as a thumbnail (I believe that started around 16.04) - but those were exceptions and it did did not prevent those videos from playing. Now I get neither thumbnails nor playback so it is worse. And it affects many more videos, too. As requested, I have added a clip that is affected by the bug. ** Attachment added: "01 - Course Introduction.mp4" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer1.0/+bug/1767089/+attachment/5127610/+files/01%20-%20Course%20Introduction.mp4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767089 Title: totem cannot play h.264 on 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer1.0/+bug/1767089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
