close players when I open a video

Please provide more information about the problem. Start it from a terminal and paste any output and errors here, thanks.

Hey Christopher thanks for answering...
I solve my problem by changing the -vo into gl2 X11 (OpenGL) - multiple textures version...

Hi, I have the same problem but do not know how to open totem from the terminal. I am very new to ubuntu

Thanks!

hi uksilvio1, to start totem from the terminal just go Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:
totem
If you get any errors I guess post it here or start a new question :)

Hi Christopher,

So simple! This is the error I received:

martin@Upstairs:~$ totem

The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.

  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

TIA

Do you have any updates?
Also do you have the Desktop Effects running under System->Preferences->Appearance in the Visual Effects tab?

Sorted! Turned off visual effect and now Totem works.

Thank you

Hi,

Yes, I have visual effect selected. Disabled it and hey presto Totem works!

Thank you very much

Dear all,

I seem to have the same problem, but it also occurs in other video player so it might be related to a codec of some sort? Totem closes directly opening a .avi file. Below is the message from the terminal Any ideas? I already turned of any visual effects I had.
