Sebastien - using the "gst-launch-0.10 playbin" command from terminal results in the video I provided above playing perfectly.
Attempting to run it through Totem (either starting totem first, or just double-clicking in Nautilus) results in the unwatchably slow preformance again, UNLESS I've already tried the gst-launch-0.10 command first - then it works. I just restarted this machine to test that, too - running the command line first means working vid. Trying the non-command line lauch first mean unwatchable video. Forgot to include some system/OS info in my initial report: brand-new clean install of Hardy, no crufty old config files left over from old versions of Ubuntu, all the codecs I can find installed via Synaptic... -- Gstreamer in Hardy is less capable than previous releases https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
