Created attachment 214783 [details]
Busted video file.

For a few days, I cannot get any video to be recorded using ctrl+alt+shift+R.

Every single video I try to record is 0 byte during recording and 300 bytes after I stop recording.

When I go to my videos folder in Nautilus, I got this error in .xsession-error log :

** Message: Error: GStreamer a rencontré une erreur générale de flux.
matroska-demux.c(4449): gst_matroska_demux_loop (): /GstPlayBin2:play/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20/GstMatroskaDemux:matroskademux0:
No pads created

** Message: Error: Impossible de démultiplexer le flux.

got eos but no streams (yet)

1st error : general error stream
2nd error : cannot demux stream

Got this problem in archlinux with gnome 3.4.2
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2012-05-23 17:00:56 UTC
I saw the same thing on Fedora 17.
Comment 2 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-05-23 18:26:12 UTC
Seems like gstreamer is busted?
Comment 3 Frederic Bezies 2012-05-23 18:48:05 UTC
Well... Gstreamer packages were not updated "for a long time" on my archlinux installation.

The only related gstreamer tool upgraded recently was... totem.

No gstreamer package was updated since mid-april for the last time.

Maybe having "only" gstreamer-base 0.10.36 is the problem ?
Comment 4 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-05-23 18:50:26 UTC
I can't tell what that error message says because it's in French... again, why did we think it was a Good Idea to translate error messages?
Comment 5 Frederic Bezies 2012-05-23 19:56:28 UTC
Rough translation (thanks google translate) :)

1st error : GStreamer encountered a general stream error.
2nd error : Could not demultiplex stream.

And for the last part, even I understand "a little" computer-based english, my mother tongue is french, like hundreds or thousands of gnome users.
Comment 6 Frederic Bezies 2012-05-24 14:57:42 UTC
In order to find what is broken, which tool is used for desktop video recording and its depends ?

I don't want to be annoyed by this bug until next year :D
Comment 7 Frederic Bezies 2012-05-25 08:30:43 UTC
Another idea : could it be related in some ways to mesa 8.0.3 which is the current version on archlinux ?
Comment 8 Bastien Nocera 2012-05-25 10:02:26 UTC

> Seems like gstreamer is busted?

So, how do we reproduce gnome-shell's pipeline for testing?
Comment 9 Matthias Clasen 2012-05-25 10:37:21 UTC
shell-recorder.c has

#define DEFAULT_PIPELINE "vp8enc quality=8 speed=6 threads=%T ! queue ! webmmux"

There's also a test-recorder binary in the shell sources.
Comment 10 Frederic Bezies 2012-05-25 11:09:57 UTC
Thanks for the info. Downgrading libvpx fixes the bug.
Comment 11 drago01 2012-05-28 11:36:41 UTC
This looks like a gstreamer bug to me. Seems like the vp8 and/or webm plugins do not play well with libvpx-1.1.0 ...
Comment 12 Frederic Bezies 2012-05-28 11:54:38 UTC
Indeed. When I try to rebuild gstreamer-plugins-bad package with libvpx 1.1.0 on my archlinux, it shows me the same problem. Libvpx 1.0.0 is working flawlessly.
Comment 13 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-05-28 12:03:29 UTC
