What value there is to the videoparser plugin i don't know, you figure there may be some, why else include it. (no one who has removed it has reported any issue yet.
In a bit of a hack applied the 0.10 commit to the current source that ubuntu uses in 12.04 (0.10.22) & the videos affected now work fine with the videoparser plugin installed. It doesn't appear Debian/Ubuntu have any interest in fixing this for 0.10.22 so removing the plugin may remain the best option for users to help themselves Whether this continues to be an issue in 12.10 may depend on what source of gstreamer is used, hopefully a little consideration to this issue will be given in that regard -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973014 Title: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, (libgstvideoparsersbad.so), causes a failure to decode many common video files encoded as AVC 1 Baseline - L2.1, Baseline - L1.1 & others Status in The GStreamer Multimedia Framework: Fix Released Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: *Adjusted description so as not to show as email to non logged in people Most affected files are [email protected], [email protected] * Those would be the most likely to fail to be decoded but certainly not limited to kust them.
