[Bug 442761] Re: Installing from ppa kills video playback in totem and vlc

 

Please, don't provide ffmpeg, libavcodecXX and libavformatXX in the
Jaunty repository. This cause the difficult task to downgrade that
package and reinstall blender, dvd.slideshow, ffmpeg, ffmpeg2theora,
gstreamer, kdenlive, a lot of libs., melt, mozilla-plugin-vlc, openshot,
qdvdauthor, synfigstudio, videotrans, vlc, vlc-nox, winff, etc.

Bug description:
Running version 0.9.43, and confirmed by another person at ubuntuforums. It seems openshot renders totem and vlc unusable in karmic when installed through the ppa.

I don't know if it's of much use, but these are the errors given by totem and vlc:

Totem:

#######################################################
On the gui side, totem shows a dialog with the "Internal data stream error." message, and doesn't play anything.

VLC:
#######################################################
[0xb7c08d80] avcodec decoder error: cannot open codec (MS MPEG-4 Video v3)
[0xb7c08d80] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `DIV3'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
#######################################################
However, vlc manages to play the sound of the file.
