I am still able to repro on a Hardy box, yes. I downloaded the codectest zip file. I removed the .rm and .swf files as well as wheeliesorensonvideo2cbr.mov (because I don't believe there are codecs for those; in any event, the codec installer buddy thingy can't suggest anything for those) and ran totem on the remaining files. This triggered a number of warnings immediately, and the codec buddy came up and suggested I install the "bad" codec set (gstreamer0.10 -plugins-bad 0.10.6-5). I installed the suggested codec package, but the player was still unable to play the first file, and kept on invoking the codec installer again; however, it could no longer suggest any additional codecs to install. After restarting, I was able to play the media, however, still with warnings on standard error.
(The fact that you need to restart the player after installing a codec is a separate bug #159130.) vnix$ wget http://www.codectest.com/codectest/streamingcodectest.zip vnix$ unzip streamingcodectest.zip Archive: streamingcodectest.zip inflating: videocomparisontest.txt inflating: wheelie.mov inflating: wheelie.mp4 inflating: wheelie.rm inflating: wheelie.wmv inflating: wheelieAVCnero.mp4 inflating: wheelieAVCsorenson.mp4 inflating: wheelieMPEG2.mpg inflating: wheeliesorensonvideo2cbr.mov inflating: wheeliesorensonvideo3provbr.mov inflating: wheeliesparkpro.swf vnix$ rm wheelie.rm wheeliesparkpro.swf wheeliesorensonvideo2cbr.mov vnix$ totem w* ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)4, framed=(boolean)true, codec_data=(buffer)1290, rate=(int)32000, channels=(int)2 ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|MPEG-4 AAC decoder|decoder-audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)4, framed=(boolean)true (MPEG-4 AAC decoder) ** (gnome-codec-install:21891): WARNING **: return value of custom widget handler was not a GtkWidget /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/AppInstall/AppInstall.py:1255: GtkWarning: gtk_tree_model_sort_sort: assertion `tree_model_sort->default_sort_func != NULL' failed item.applications.set_default_sort_func(None) (totem:21883): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_unref: assertion `object != NULL' failed ** Message: Missing plugins installed.
