ii libavcodec52 5:0.5svn20091129-0.0 >Which version of gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg do you have installed? ii gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.9-2 FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer I suspected the multimedia package(s) after some research, and tested totem on different machine on the network which is usually not turned on (used for backup and testing in situations like this). The backup machine was able to play the .avi movie over the network. Here is the status of the two packages in question on the backup machine: ii gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.9-2 FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer ii libavcodec52 5:0.5+svn20091101-0.0 library to encode decode multimedia streams I will try and downgrade the libavcodec52 package on the machine having the problem and see if that fixes things. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
