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

 

I have now done a clean install of karmic 64 bit and have added the "new
and improved" ppa.  It did change one pulseaudio package from the
default to another one in the repository.  I googled around a bit and
found that the package it changed to is one that makes pulse audio more
stable and is recommended for any pulseaudio problems.  Many people
wondered why it wasn't the default to begin with, so I figured it was
safe to try.

I did not have any audio problems with the default package.

I installed from the ppa and OpenShot now seems to work pretty well in
64 bit Karmic.  I have not had any problems with audio using the new
pulseaudio package and totem and vlc work as expected.

Good job all around.

Looking forward to using OpenShot for my Thanksgiving videos.

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:

However, vlc manages to play the sound of the file.
