indeed, i confirm we can reproduce this bug. the problem seems to be
with re-ordering the frames for clips with B frame. we will fix that
soon.

Title:
  Issues playing most video files on Pandaboard ES

Status in OMAP4 Ubuntu Multimedia addons:
  New

Bug description:
  I tested today the new multimedia-extras packages released yesterday
  and I found that I can't play correctly most video files, both
  MPEG-4/AVI and H.264/MP4. The most visible issue is a constant
  "jerkiness" of the videos, that immediately made me think of out-of-
  order frames.

  Playing the videos with the gst-launch pipeline:

  GST_DEBUG=3 gst-launch filesrc location=filename.mp4 ! qtdemux
  qtdemux0.video_00 ! h264parse ! "video/x-h264" ! ducatih264dec !
  dri2videosink

  showed a lot of warnings in the output:

  0:00:04.421264649  8902  0x147dc60 INFO        GST_ERROR_SYSTEM gstelement.c:1964:gst_element_message_full:<dri2videosink0> posting message: A lot of buffers are being dropped.
  WARNING: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstDRI2VideoSink:dri2videosink0: A lot of buffers are being dropped.
  Additional debug info:
  gstbasesink.c(2875): gst_base_sink_is_too_late (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstDRI2VideoSink:dri2videosink0:
  There may be a timestamping problem, or this computer is too slow.

  Disabling sync (dri2videosink sync=false) makes the messages
  disappear, and the video plays smoothly again but too fast (I'd say at
  least 2x the expected framerate). A mailing list message I found
  suggested using fakesink to check the timestamps, and in fact running
  the pipeline:

  GST_DEBUG=3 gst-launch -v filesrc location=filename.mp4 ! qtdemux
  qtdemux0.video_00 ! h264parse ! "video/x-h264" ! ducatih264dec !
  fakesink sync=true

  gives this:

  As you can see after the first few frames two out of every four frames
  are swapped and this goes on for the rest of the video.

  This happens with pretty much all my media files, mostly DVR
  recordings (DVB-T MPEG2 TS streams directly dumped to disk) transcoded
  to MP4 (usually h264 high profile encoded with x264) or AVI (usually
  XVID or FMP4 MPEG-4 ASP encoded with mencoder). There's another issue
  specific to MPEG-4 files but I'll file another report.

  The only videos that seem to work are a couple of MP4/H.264 files
  downloaded from Youtube, and checking with fakesink I can see that the
  timestamps increase monotonically as expected.

  I'm using a new installation of Precise with the TI OMAP PPA
  repository added to the APT sources. Please tell me if you need other
  information or sample files.
