[Bug 1376468] Re: Totem crashes attempting to play wmv file

 

I had this exact problem, all wmv files would crash in totem and vlc.  I
also had ffmpeg installed via jon-severinsson/ffmpeg.  purging this and
then updating to the official packages fixed the problem for me.

Title:
  Totem crashes attempting to play wmv file

Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Totem segfaults when I attempt to open a wmv file.
  The same when Totem serves as video playback plugin in Firefox.
  I believe that this is some kind of dependency problem, because I have 2 additional Trusty machines, that do not experience the same problems.
