MP4 video does not play with totem but no problem with VLC

[vincent-2]

Hi gents,

I met an issue with some MP4 video recorded during holidays: Shotwell cannot display a cover for these movies and totem cannot play it ("impossible to determine the type of flux")... However, VLC read it without any problems... Can anyone which has some knowledge in MP4 decoding can have a look to one of these video to try to explain why I meet this issue? Shotwell developers tell me to ask on this list which seems to be more appropriate for this kind of problems.

I have uploaded the video here: http://ubuntuone.com/p/XHX/

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards

--
Vincent

Your best bet is to try and reproduce the problem with gst-launch, and
see if the problem occurs there. See:
http://projects.gnome.org/totem/#bugs

Then file a bug against GStreamer if you can reproduce the problem, or
against Totem if you cannot.

FWIW, I could not play the file:
$ file shotwell-broken-file.mp4
shotwell-broken-file.mp4: gzip compressed data, max compression
$ mv shotwell-broken-file.mp4 shotwell-broken-file.mp4.gz
$ gunzip shotwell-broken-file.mp4.gz

gzip: shotwell-broken-file.mp4.gz: invalid compressed data--format
violated

Cheers

This works fine for me both with git and older releases.

You don't say what distro/version and/or version of the various
GStreamer modules you are using, but it sounds like maybe you might need
to update.

I use Ubuntu Maverick, but I do not know which release of GSTreamer... Could you explain me a little bit more how can I update?
