[Bug 774008] Re: ABC iView Flashplayer file blacking out on playback
Wallace and Gromit! We have to get this working! :)
It is interesting that the direct GStreamer playback worked. I wonder
if the problem is due to compositing, or to Totem, or both. We can also
see in the terminal output that Xvideo is being used - I'm not sure if
this is the case when playing the file in Totem. I presume the ERROR
message appeared when you closed the window after 36.87 seconds of
playback, before the end of the video.
I think I've just figured out why the dmesg grep for drm didn't work.
Grep is a search tool and your result is likely to be expected if DRM
(the kernel's Direct Rendering Manager) is not being used at all. I've
just tried grepping dmesg for "gromit" and there was no output. So just
attach the entire dmesg file:
cat dmesg > filename.txt
Don't forget to navigate to /var/log first.
Hopefully that will tell us what is going on graphics-wise in the kernel
during boot.

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.
