Ubuntu :: After Upgrade To 10.10 - Video Play Is Brocken?
Dec 31, 2010
I have recently upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10. After restart for very short time I can play videos with 'vlc'... but short video disappears. There is only audio. BTW, video in flash from browser is working. Any other video play fails. Totem displays this:
Quote:
The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (Details: serial 132 error_code 2 request_code 133 minor_code 19) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Should I reinstall Ubuntu? (I did not have this issue in Ubuntu 10.04LTS)

To get multimedia working, or explain what I'm doing wrong.
The problem is that none of the video players doesn't play video, they show only black window and play audio.
I have Fedora 11 Leonidas, fully up-to-date.
I have installed rpmfusion and livna repository.
I have installed following packages:
When I try to play video with totem, it doesn't output any error, but just doesn't play video.
with mplayer:
xine and kaffeine just say:
vlc:
I tried several different files, which works perfectly in windows and ubuntu.
I installed windows binary codecs for mplayer to /usr/lib/codec/

Anyone else struggling to play iplayer video? I've got the proprietary Flash plugin, which means it's probably not this "SWF Authentication" thing that there's been so much talk about.
I've rebooted, tried all sorts of tinkering, it loads the applet (I can see that Flash is loading OK because other things work, and right clicking on the applet gives the Flash menu)
However, clicking the play button does nothing.

I've been playing around with Damn Small Linux 4.4.10 on my Dell Inspiron 3000 laptop for quite a while now, and this is the first time I've been downright stumped. To make a long story short, I'm trying to play 480p video on a machine with a 233 MHz Pentium processor, 112 MB of ram, and a Neomagic MagicGraph 128XD graphics card (NM2160). Crazy? Maybe, but I don't think so. I'm using MPlayer set to Xv mode with the XFree86 4.3.0 server, and so far, I've been able to get it to play 360p mpegs with minimal stuttering. However, MPlayer crashes with 480p. This is because the 128XD only has 2 MB of memory, which, after the 1024x768x16 screen takes its share, doesn't leave enough room for a 640x480 overlay.
The creators of MPlayer are aware of this limitation, and suggest adding the following line to my XF86Config file: Option "OverlayMem" "829440"
As I understand it, this is supposed to extend the video card's frame buffer into system memory, thus allowing the higher resolution video to play. However, it doesn't work, based on this output from my XFree86 log file: cannot reserve 829440 bytes for overlay...
Some other suspicious-looking lines from the log file:

family member's PC, and ever since the upgrade to 9.10, no video files play.
All formats (AVI, MPG, MP4) do not work. When attempting to use MPlayer, VLC, Kaffine and KMPlayer. The file opens, then the program immediately closes.
Another issue is that online video's are very jerky. Before the upgrade, all of these issues did not exist.
Any thoughts or idea's on where to look? I have already tried re-installing the codec's via the restricted extra's package, and by re-installing VLC.

My Firefox has stopped playing video, including from ...... It just shows a big image of the "play" button in the space. Moreover, in some other news sites with .flv videos it simply does not play. All I can see is the play/pause button and the volume control flickering. My understanding is that this happened after the latest system update. I would also like to know if there is a download helper extension for Chrome equivalent to the one available for Firefox that enables download of video files.

I'm an excited newcomer in ubuntu and i'm also an animator. and i have problem playing all streaming video from this particular website (the 11 second club), probably they use quicktime plugin or something. In addition, we can play the stream frame by frame so we can check the animation more details on poses.
could you guys help me out with this...? this website is an important learning centre for me, and definitely for many animators out there who use ubuntu.
here's an example:

i've got a dell mini 10 w/ 9.10 nbr on it, and videos played in either totem or vlc won't play, and result in the player crashing. it almost crashes the whole desktop. i can usually recover from ctrl-alt-f1 and killing the process or restarting the gui.
i've got no idea how to fix it. it's got a gma500 and that poulsubo (sp?) video driver. flash works reasonably well for a netbook though. i can watch videos vids ok- just have ot shy away from full screen videos, and especially not get tempted by full screen hi-def videos...

I have a macbook pro 5,3 with Karmic installed, with firefox and the adobe flash plugin. Sometimes to get a flash video to play (like .....) I need to right click on the play button and then left click twice, rather than a simple left click like normal. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Do others have this problem?

I'm finding it very difficult to play a video stream of .mov format. The Totem Media player gives me an error : GstDecodeBin2: This appears to be a text file
Even Real Media Player for linux is giving me an error: General error: HXR_CORRUPT_FILE (0x80040091)
Even VLC hangs on trying to play it.
(BTW the file isnt corrupt though, its apple's last night's iphone press conference from their official website - [URL])

Ubuntu 10.04 - Firefox 3.6.8 I have all the packages installed that I need because every other video I try plays fine. The one that won't work for me is on a friends site - I'm pretty sure it's embeded ( whatever that means ). When I try to play it, I get audio, but no video. If I click where it says Vimeo on the lower right side it plays from there. I do know that it plays "as is" in Windows. Just wondering what's going on. Here it is to take a look at - [URL]

Just recently converted and I'm running both Ubuntu 11.04 (the Natty Narwhal?) (about 10 gig partitioned) and Windows Vista.
As said in the title, All DVD's and Video files won't play well: DVD's are pixelated most times, jumpy and sometimes the sound is scratchy - sound usually sorts itself out in a minute or so, but not always and similarly with any video files, like MP4s and other ripped files. I usually use VLC but others also don't work well or not at all. When playing MP4's do work it usually freezes the rest of the computer and I have to force switch off by the main switch as nothing works.
I've tried out tips like the following from users with previous problems on Ubuntu forums but still nothing seems to work:
I've installed libdvdcss2 and the latest vlc. I've uninstalled all my players and reinstalled them.
I don't believe it's a restricted format problem as the DVD drive works fine in vista as does all the video files.
I wondered if perhaps my system specs aren't good enough for Ubuntu: intel(r) celeron(r) d cpu 220@1.2ghz 1.5ghz 2 gigs ram 32 bit operating system
I drew this while on vista - when I tried to check my system specs using these commands on Ubuntu the "commands were not found": sudo ishw -html > mySpecs.html and sudo 1shw

I am new here and new to Ubuntu as well. I have been using it for about two weeks now.
Here is my dilemma. I have a Kodak Playsport video camera that can record in 720p @ 60fps for action/sport type stuff. I have used it many times and am able to preview, import, and make movies/edit the video in Windows 7.
I tried doing the same in Ubuntu 11.04 using PiTiVi a couple of days ago. When I try to preview the clip, I get sound perfectly, but the video plays more like a slideshow with very big gaps. What can I do do rectify this?

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 on an AMD quad-core machine. Totem, vlc, and xine all refuse to play video DVDs although music CDs play fine. I installed the restricted extras from Synaptic but no joy.When you try to start a disc with VLC, it will kind of give a quick flicker like it tried to open the screen and then goes back to the control panel. I notice that it's set to /dev/dvd but there is no such file there. The same with /dev/sr0 (the DVD player is an ASUS Sata DVD player.)
When I type ivtv-tune -c3 in the terminal, I get that it failed to open /dev/video0. I'm also missing that file.Can I create any of these sub-dirs/files? If so, what would the contents be?When I first did the installation yesterday, I had a Logitech webcam hooked up and knowing how they can mess up video assignments, I unplugged it but still no success.
