There are a few simple things that might be going on, or there may be an issue in parole. In order to isolate the source of the problem please try the following, as they will rule out outside issues. I think from the error code given that one of these (primarily centered around gstreamer) should fix that for you.
Try running the following before opening parole (If it works you should only have to do it once) "parole --xv false" Note the 2 hyphens. If that doesn't work, try "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted- extras" which should fetch any missing codecs or containers and any extras. If neither of these work, then the problem is in Parole itself, as it should be able to play most forms of combined video/audio files after running parole --xv false -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1219332 Title: parole reports "Gstreamer backend error", "Configured videosink video is not working" in saucy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parole/+bug/1219332/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
