GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 302702
can't play AVI file
Last modified: 2005-09-27 20:03:32 UTC
When attempting to play a video with an ".avi" extension in Totem with the GStreamer backend, the following series of error dialogs appears: Totem could not play '<filename>'. Internal GStreamer error: negotiation problem. File a bug. Internal GStreamer error: pad problem. File a bug. Could not get/set settings from/on resource. I had first suspected this was due to a locking problem between Totem/GStreamer and another application also attempting to access the sound device, however it seems many DivX/MPEG-4 encoded movies have this problem. After experimenting with many files, it seems to only occur when the audio codec is "A/52 5.1". File properties of one such file (from Nautilus right click menu): 640 x 368 ISO MPEG-4 (DivX5, ffmpeg) 25 frames per second 384 kbps A/52 5.1 Contents of ALSA configuration file, /etc/asound.conf: pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "dmixer" } pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 1025 slave { pcm "hw:0,0" period_time 0 period_size 4096 buffer_size 16384 periods 128 rate 44100 } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } }
Which version of GStreamer/Totem, and can you provide access to one such file showing the problem?
Please reopen if you can provide the file.. Thanks for reporting your bug!
