[Bug 393623] [NEW] Can't play multimedia video (i.e., *.ogg, *.flv, *.wmv) when external monitor is connected

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

When I have an external monitor attached, I can't play multimedia video
(i.e., *.ogg, *.flv, *.wmv) in any player (i.e., totem, vlc, mplayer,
gxine, etc.).

The behavior is that when the player(i.e., totem, vlc, mplayer, gxine,
etc.) is launched, the player window shows momentarily, and then it
crashes before playing the video.

When running from the command line, a command such as totem-gstreamer
somemovie.ogg, or even vlc somemovie.ogg, the player crashes and the
following error msg is displayed:"The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient
resources for operation)'.  (Details: serial 139 error_code 11
request_code 132 minor_code 19)".

I've used the suggested method to report this bug.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
