@ Ben

You don't see this in other DEs, correct?

If you do see it in other DEs, too, then please assign back to BugSquad!




Assigning to the Mate maintainer.

Ben, do you have correct codecs installed? You may need to enable tainted repo and install task-video package. Please give feedback on this.

issue is apparent before and after update, tainted (x86_64) and tainted(32 bit) were both enabled

Reassigning to all packagers collectively as the original maintainer is not available anymore (thanks for all your work Atilla!).
