GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 138435
[TRACKER] My media file doesn't playback!
Last modified: 2008-04-06 22:30:16 UTC
This is a general tracker for files that fail to playback with GStreamer and spider (libgspltay, gst-player, totem). Guidelines: * make sure there's no other similar bug for the same media type (codec/format/symptom combination). * make a separate bug for your file that refuses to playback. Ask for a bugsquad or GStreamer developer to confirm and make this bug depend on it. Please don't do that yourself unless you know what you're doing. * if it fails using opt but works using basicgthread, it doesn't belong here. *ALWAYS* test with basicgthread. * provide a link to a file or another way of obtaining the file.
adding first bug and myself to CC
for bugs 138664 138666 138669 138671 138672 138676 138678 138680 : ask ronald for login/pass FTP access on leroutier.net all files are under /riff-avi/_bad_/
So, I'm considering reopening all bugs that does not have a test in the media testsuite attached. That way we can make sure that they always keep on working. It's really no point fixing stuff at one point and noone noticing that they breaks at a later point. I can help adding stuff to the testsuite, but I need media files (hopefully small ones) and a pipeline which can do the playback. We should also separate the muxing from the decoding and have separate tests for each stream in the container format.
Add them to the testsuite, and if they fail, reopen them. Please note that I don't know how the testsuite works. Please document that. I didn't even know people wanted me to add those files to the testsuite.

We've done a really stellar job at using this bug for tracking broken media files. Do we want to continue to use it, or should I just close this bug?

We should set up a public/automated gst-media-test before closing this IMHO. So we know these (and future) regressions of file playback don't go unnoticed... ... Or we could create a new bug for that and close this one.
No one's using this any longer, closing.
