Description James Gregory 2010-04-11 08:29:15 UTC 
While playing back MP4 or FLV files in Totem, the player will constantly use around 50% CPU, and will also appear to skip forward with the video playback (the audio will continue correctly) randomly or when another program is run in the background.

This doesn't appear to happen with Ogg Theora video, so I assume this is a problem with the MPEG and Flash decoders.

Comment 1 Wim Taymans 2010-04-12 09:37:35 UTC 
Do you have an example flv file?
What CPU is this?
What version of gst-ffmpeg?
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2010-04-12 09:53:53 UTC 
Moving to gst-ffmpeg for now, since it doesn't look like it belongs into -ugly.
Comment 3 Edward Hervey 2010-04-12 10:24:01 UTC 
If it's the gst-ffmpeg from ubuntu, they're not using the recommended ffmpeg revision. Therefore this will be closed as WONTFIX.
Comment 4 James Gregory 2010-04-13 17:05:22 UTC 
Wim: Intel Atom dual-code 1.6GHz. An example FLV would be any video downloaded from YouTube.

Edward: The version I have in Ubuntu is 0.10.10-1. Should I look to get a newer version of this and see if the issue still persists?
Comment 5 Tobias Mueller 2010-09-01 19:54:04 UTC 
James, feel free to do that. For now, this is WONTFIX as per comment #3.
