I have added VLC from th repository and found that it will play the above mpg correctly. I knew the file was ok because I tested again under windows but I thought I'd better prove the file could be loaded and played in Ubuntu also.
I have retested after installing VLC and the latest round of updates and still no update has fixed the mpg playing issue. I was hoping that VLC might add the required codec to the player, but it appears that was not the problem. -- totam won't play mpg files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172615 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to totem in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
