Yes, I experienced that on different Linux distros, different video players are ok, while other video player do fail. And for some installs the browser plugins just work one time, than you need to kill the wrapper, if possible, to play the same video again. I run into this issue since around a year ago for some installs, years before they all worked ok. IMO this needs to be proved. While the averaged desktop Linux becomes better and better I recognised that for production machines more and more issues do arise :(. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
