Question #77892 on Ubuntu changed:

TMIT World posted a new comment:
All movie clips (.wmv , .mpg ) played without problem using Mplayer in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10
After upgrade to 9.04 no movie clips played.
Mplayer would briefly open and then close spontaneously after about 1 second. 
No error message would be reported. 
The behaviour was consistent and reproducible.

This happened on all devices in this office. 5 using Desktop edition and 1 with Server edition.
All are standard  32bit pentium 2 machines

The same (very similar behaviour) was observed with other media players:
Gnome Mplayer, SMPlayer, Enqueue in SMPlayer

Experimenting; we uninstalled then re-installed Mplayer on one device
Now the sound only plays but there is no video. Again on all media players.
Initially on file open, a large panel opens as tho the movie were going to play then it spontaneously reduces to the size it would be if the file were a sound-only file. This happens about 1 second after the sound begins to play.

Again the behaviour is very similar for all players for both MPEG and
WMV clips.
