Description Lucas Nussbaum 2005-11-08 10:08:47 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu 5.10

This bug is similar to #171111.

When a video is played, but the gstreamer backend doesn't have a video codec for
the file, no message is displayed, so the user doesn't know what happens.
There's only a message on the console like :
** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-gst-fourcc-IV41, width=(int)320,
height=(int)240, framerate=(double)25

So why did you open a new one instead of adding yourself to bug #171111?
Comment 2 Lucas Nussbaum 2005-11-08 15:21:20 UTC 
:-)

Because I think bug:171111 is "I can't read this video".

My bug is : "when I can't read a video, there's no message to tell me so."

I ran into bug:171111 when looking for dupes, that's why I mentionned it.
Comment 3 Ronald Bultje 2005-11-08 16:36:54 UTC 
No, there's a GStreamer parallel bug for the "I can't read this video". 171111
is for the error message which isn't there. Let's dup them.

I'm not sure it is what the original reporter of bug 171111 meant, looking at
his summary + original title. But it's fine with me if you want to use bug
171111 for this.

Thanks
