movie/visual effects screen turns black while playing a movie / song

[ortutt]

Binary package hint: totem

I'm using Ubuntu 7.04, Totem 2.18.1.
I downloaded all the GStreamer plugins I could find, to watch MPEG and WMV files.
Most of the times, I can see only the first frame or so of the movie, after that the screen turns black and there's only audio.
When it happens, sometimes if I try to "rewind" it turns out OK.
In the few times it starts out OK, if I move the window, the movie screen turns black again.
This happened again with the visual effects when playing a WMA song.

Thank you for your bug. Do you use compiz? Does it happen without it?

I don't know what's compiz. I downloaded Totem xine-backend and it solved
the problem...

Compiz is activated when you use the desktop effects option. Can you try reading the video using gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///path/to/video? Does it work correctly? Is there anything printed on the command line? Does the problem happens with any mpg1 video? Could you attach an example to the bug?

שלום חברים (וגם מי שסתם פעם שלחתי לו מייל)
מסתבר שמישהו פרץ לי למחשב ושלח לכם את המייל המצ"ב.
זה לא הייתי אני.
מצטער על אי הנעימות שנגרמה לכם.
בברכה,

אור טוטנאור

Hello,

It wasn't me.
I'm sorry for any inconveniene you may
