Description Pierre Jarillon 2012-02-27 02:44:52 CET

Some mpeg video cannot be read with Totem or Dragon. VLC can read them.

For example, load http://pjarillon.free.fr/docs/demos/brevet-B2.mpeg (25 MB) created with kino 2 years ago.

The type of file is: MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex

NB: in the same directory are other small videos of different types. I use them to test the video readers.

It works here, what is the output of rpm -qa | grep gstreamer ?

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2012-02-27 15:55:06 CET

I can reproduce in a vm

GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 GST_DEBUG=*:2 totem http://pjarillon.free.fr/docs/demos/brevet-B2.mpeg 2> log 

= > OpenGL Warning: Failed to connect to host. Make sure 3D acceleration is enabled for this VM.

Comment 4 Pierre Jarillon 2012-02-27 17:17:16 CET

Because nvidia software cannot be setup (Bug 4675), nouveau is used. This the standard fallback.
3D acceleration seems not available with nouveau.
I use a fresh install of cauldron beta 1 directly on the disk. Not a VM.

My graphic card is GeForce 6100 to GeForce 360:

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Still true with Mageia 2. This is true with videos made with kino.

Comment 7 Christiaan Welvaart 2012-12-01 18:50:44 CET

As you said this is a MPEG PS (VOB) file, same as the ones on video DVDs. Not sure if this is the only option, but I think you need:

$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstmpegdemux.so
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-0.10.23-9.mga3.tainted

The decoder is apparently taken from gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg (ffdec_mpeg2video).

Note: this info can be found with gst-inspect-0.10 (or gst-inspect-1.0 for gstreamer1.0 which totem in cauldron now uses).

Comment 8 Christiaan Welvaart 2014-10-21 11:09:09 CEST

A solution is provided in the previous comment, closing as OLD because totem in cauldron now uses gstreamer 1.x. Maybe we should install certain gstreamer plugin packages by default but that is a different issue (for which there may already exist bug reports).

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => OLD
