Hidde,

After doing a presitine install of Breezy and installing gstreamer0.8-plugins, gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse and gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg I now get the following error message trying to play ntv006.mp4:

"Failed to play: Internal GStreamer error: pad problem. File a bug."

If totem is launched from the console I see:

(totem:8398): GStreamer-WARNING **: element internal_thread claimed state-change success,but state didn't change to PLAYING. State is PAUSED (NONE_PENDING pending), fix the element

** (totem:8398): CRITICAL **: gst_ffmpegdec_release_buffer: assertion `buf != NULL' failed

If I press the play/pause button repeatedly after dismissing the dialog I can get sound but no video and the following messages are printed on the terminal:

** (totem:8398): CRITICAL **: gst_ffmpegdec_release_buffer: assertion `buf != NULL' failed

(totem:8398): GStreamer-WARNING **: pushing data on non-negotiated pad ffdec_mpeg41:src, not allowed.

xine (which doesn't use gstreamer) still has the opposite problem - video but no sound.

I suspect this bug should have been split in two. The gstreamer problem now sounds like #2776 and the xine problem need to be classified separately.
