I think Totem fails to identify that the codec is missing, or the codec is broken. In any case the mpg file fails to play.
I have noted that a number of movie files types suffer from this problem. If it is a codec problem may I suggest that totem have a manual button added, called "search codec" for this file. That way the user could search for the codec manually. I also know that if you search the internet nearly all files can be played with the right libaries. To make it easier for the user, maybe those solutions need to be incorperated as well. Also I am aware of commerial codec's that are sold throught the Ubuntu online shop. Those files could also be added as a solution. ** Attachment added: "5 or 6 UFOs at night.mpg" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24594597/5%20or%206%20UFOs%20at%20night.mpg -- totam won't play mpg files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172615 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
