totem flickers between cover art and visualisation

[Robin Sheat]

When playing an MP3 that has embedded cover art, the visualisation appears. However, once or twice a second (roughly) the cover art flicks up for about a frame.

This doesn't detract from the playing, it's just quite distracting.

I have found the same bug on debian wheezy b4. Totem (3.0.1) caused strobing severe enough to make me feel slightly ill. I imagine this could be dangerous! Reported at debian also. File a lame encoded mp3 with embedded albim art jpg. intel hd400 chipset amd64. I'm guessing this is application level bug.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
