Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-06-25 16:34:54 UTC
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121237

"Binary package hint: totem

Ubuntu 7.04, german version.
Doubleclicking a *.swf opens totem as player, but errmsg is displayed, that totem encountered a problem and a problemreport should be made. Here it is. The report-mechanism (Totem Hilfe > Fehler melden) that took me to this place here gathered informations about the crash, hopefully they are enclosed here automatically.

The *.swf is located on a windows-share, but other files in the same directory (asf, wmv, mpg, avi) played well.

Since there is no option to attach the *.swf, I will add another follow up.

DanceA.swf, an interactive shockwavefile.  (478.5 KiB, application/x-shockwave-flash)

Here is the file: DanceA.swf
an interactive shockwavefile.
(in Windows it works well)
...
Repeated the action with a local copy of the file on desktop gives errmsg:

"Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.
Internet GStreamer-Fehler: Problem mit der Unterstützungsbibliothek. Bitte schicken Sie einen Fehlerbericht."

Totem shouldn't be advertising application/x-shockwave-flash, since GStreamer doesn't support it.  Install swfdec instead.

I believed there was a stand-alone swf demuxer/decoder in GStreamer, was I wrong?

Removed then, in trunk and gnome-2-18.
