9.04 - embedded video playback & video streaming broken in Totem

Asked by John O'Dwyer

I have installed 9.04 and cannot watch watch embedded videos which require Totem plugin. I just get a black screen or just one frame of the video. I tried opening Totem movieplayer & streaming the video but I get the same effect. However I can see activity in Firestarter so I know it is streaming. When I installed vlc & vlc plugin I can now watch the video either as embedded in the webpage or streaming it with vlc. Vlc plugin has no controls so I'd prefer to get totem plugin working again

Any ideas please to get totem & totem plugin working again. Both worked fine in 8.10

Try opening terminal and entering "gstreamer-properties" go to the video tab and change the output plugin to "no Xv" and test Also try X11 output.

Can you help with this problem?
