Description Bastien Nocera 2009-11-16 15:18:01 UTC 
This file has a broken (or old and incompatible) Theora stream:
http://www.gnome.org/~hadess/trailer.ogg

This fails:
$ gst-launch playbin2 flags=0x16 uri=file:///home/data/test-files/movies/trailer.ogg
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
ERROR: from element /GstPlayBin2:playbin20/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20/GstTheoraDec:theoradec1: Could not decode stream.
Additional debug info:
theoradec.c(1014): theora_handle_header_packet (): /GstPlayBin2:playbin20/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20/GstTheoraDec:theoradec1:
couldn't read header packet
ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to preroll.
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...

But both mplayer and xine will ignore the video stream and be able to play it back.

(Totem in master disables the video rendering for totem-audio-preview, which should be able to play the sample above)
Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2009-11-16 15:43:45 UTC 
Yes, decodebin2 should be able to ignore chains that produce errors, at least during preroll.

Plays fine for me now with audio-only, complaining about a missing 'application/x-unknown' decoder though ;)
