Unable to open an downloaded video file (.flv)

Internal GStreamer error: negotiation problem.  Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer.

Could you make the file available, or post a link to it?

Which application is this with?

And what version of that application?

What distro/version are you using?

Hi Tim,
Excuse my delayed response.

The file in context is a porn video (I hope you are ok with that). It was downloaded from the following torrent link

http://rarbg.com/download.php?id=27.7.41.38_7ny9pjskltvz5hqr16iwe8abfcmduo2x43gqazd6riow97je4lxspfyh81tbmn3ucgvk25&f=Salierixxx%20-%20Supplizio%20Di%20Giovane%20Madre%20E%20Baby%20Sitter%20%202008-[rarbg.com].torrent

I have using the following video application to run the downloaded .flv file

Totem Movie Player 2.30.2   Movie Player using GStreamer 0.10.28

I have also tried playing using VLC Media Payer 1.0.6 Goldeneye, but, only audio is heard , no video. The VLC player does play other files of .flv extension

Let em know if u could help

Thanks
Vimal

Hi Tim,
Apologies!.. I am able to play the file. 

Well... I downloaded the WinFF application to convert to the file to.avi. It works! The video is now visible

Thanks for your help!

This is now resolved!
Comment 6 Tim-Philipp Müller 2013-01-08 11:34:59 UTC
Converting it doesn't really fix the original issue.

This plays fine for me with git, however. It should be fixed in the upcoming GStreamer 1.0.5 release.

the VP6-alpha video got decoded to A420, which was broken.
Comment 7 razzput 2013-01-09 15:02:04 UTC
You are right. I replied in haste. The file could not get converted to .avi.

I thought it could be converted as, I ran a preview in the Winff and the video did play during the preview

Thanks for the response and the remedy rectification in the next release.

Appreciate it!
