I can confirm this bug on two systems running latest Feisty, (using nvidia and i810 drivers respectively). Switching between totem-gstreamer and totem-xine makes no difference; gstreamer-properties will show Xv output correctly in test output, but totem never respects the videosink selected, and editing ~/.gnome2/totem_config to use "video.driver=xv" doesn't help with the xine backend either.
Every movie I've tried (all >320x240 resolution) exhibits this behaviour in totem, and other players such as VLC can use the Xv video extension without any difficulty. I don't think logs are necessary, but if anyone needs some I'll be happy to post later. -- [totem-gstreamer] Totem video output doesn't use xv https://launchpad.net/bugs/80820 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
