** Summary changed: - Videos found with Totem's Youtube plugin don't play + Videos found with Totem's Youtube plugin don't play - codec not found
** Description changed: - I'm using today's (April 18th) current daily ubu...@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 ##My Actions## Boot from a (non-persistent) USB stick created with today's daily CD Open Totem Select YouTube from the dropdown Search for "kitties" (or anything else, but what else could you want?) Double-click on the first result (aww...isn't the kitty cute?) "Search for suitable plugin?" dialogue appears.[1] Press "Search" [1]: Full text of "Search for suitable plugin?" dialogue: The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that supports the selected file? The search will also include software which is not officially supported. ##Expected result## Find the required plugins, list them and prompt me to install them. Warn me about potential legal issues and if I am accessing previously disabled repositories. After I confirm, install the plugins, then return to totem and play the video. ##Actual result## An error dialogue: No packages with the requested plugins found The requested plugins are: H.264 decoder MPEG-4 AAC decoder Press OK. Another error dialogue appears: An error occurred The playback of this movie requires the following decoders which are not installed: H.264 decoder MPEG-4 AAC decoder Double clicking on the video again (or other videos) doesn't search for plugins again, it just brings up the "An error has occured" dialogue. ##Solution## After enabling community maintained software through the Add/Remove Programs or Software Sources dialogues and restarting Totem, the same "Search for suitable plugin?" dialogue is displayed, but the search successfully finds the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10-plugins- bad packages. After selecting install, the "Confirm installation of restricted software" dialogue is displayed, then installation proceeds. After this, the videos play. Despite saying that "The search will also include software which is not officially supported." it appears that this does not in fact occur if the relevant repositories are disabled. This should be fixed. Please let me know if any further info is required. -- Videos found with Totem's Youtube plugin don't play - codec not found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363594 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
