Appreciate the efforts on fixing this. I was experiencing the same issues on my freshly installed Xubuntu 8.10 PC, but then with video playback (wmv files for example). Although I had all common codecs installed (through Totem, which I use as well), Xfmedia didn't start up any of the videos.
It would only start up, blink with the video screen once and disappear (leaving only the play/pause/stop screen etc. behind). Then read somewhere that installing libxine1-ffmpeg could help (thanks Boris). Did that and now it works without problems! -- libxine1-ffmpeg not installed with xfmedia https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
