While I'd love to enable the gstreamer renderer by default, it's not going to happen for Gutsy - there's just not enough time to test it. I'll probably do this for Hardy.
Miro does *not* depend on libxine1-ffmpeg. Many videos should play without it, and ffmpeg (like almost all decoders) has patent issues around it, so it's quite reasonable that people may wish to install miro without libxine1-ffmpeg. The miro packages currently Recommend: libxine1-ffmpeg, which is the highest level of "you probably want this" available that isn't a hard dependency. Can you test if installing libxine1-ffmpeg allows miro to play the streams you have tested? If it can't, then there's an actual bug here. If it can, then I'll close this bug. ** Changed in: miro (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Assignee: (unassigned) => Chris Halse Rogers (raof) -- Miro fails to play films when using default renderer (gstreamer works OK) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
