Hmm.  Interesting that VLC works and GStreamer based apps such as Totem
and Banshee do not.

To attach the output of lspci -vvnn, start by opening a command prompt
(this should be under Applications > Accessories > Terminal in the
classic desktop).  Then type "lspci -vvnn" without the quotation marks.
You can either copy and paste the output into this bug report, or if you
want to use our preferred method of attaching the input to this bug
report you can redirect the output of that command to a file by typing
"lspci -vvnn > filename.txt" then click "Add attachment or patch" at the
bottom of this bug report, after which you will be prompted for the file
to upload.

If you are able to attach the output of "glxinfo | grep render" as well
that would be great.  To run glxinfo you will first need to install
mesa-utils.  Note that you can only attach one file per comment.

Title:
  ABC iView Flashplayer file blacking out on playback

Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Just downloaded the file spooks_11_09_04.flv (a 640 x 360, H.264 video
  codec / MPEG-4 AAC audio codec, 25 frames a second FLV file) using the
  Python iView file streaming application and, with no other
  applications running, tried to play it back with the new Media Player
  (Totem Movie Player 2.32.0) which installed with the 11.01 Natty
  Narwhal upgrade that I did yesterday evening. The previous version of
  this application had the Flashplayer plugin installed and working
  perfectly. Now, on this new version, I can only see flickering pieces
  of the video images when I press the F11 key repeatedly to go between
  full screen and window modes, as if a black overlay is blocking an
  underlying image from being viewed. I also just tried playing a
  regular (non Flashplayer) MP4 video and that encounters the same
  problem. Please advise a workaround. Thanks in anticipation.
