libxine1-ffmpeg is required by Miro to play most videos in its default list of feeds. Without the package, none of the default feeds in the app will work.
Testing 3 of the default feeds, 100% fail out of the box.Synaptic will not pull in this package by default when miro is installed, nor is it included in Ubuntu restricted extras. A few choices; 1. Ship the package broken by default for the majority of streams (present situation) 2. Use gstreamer, allowing the usual 'install restricted extras for multimedia' solution to work. 3. Add libxine1-ffmpeg to ubuntu-restricted-extras, on the basis that Miro is one of the most popular video apps on Linux and ubuntu- restricted-extras should support it. -- 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
