Binary package hint: totem

watching a movie on Totem, if I fast fw a few minutes, the video will slow down, and never playback at correct speed.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

 * Is this reproducible?
 * If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?
 * Do you get it on any video format and using totem-xine too?

 This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

yes it is reproducible.

with totem-xine the video playback works just fine

follows log from totem-xine-debug

$ totem-xine --debug video.avi

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

somebody having the issue should open that on bugzilla.gnome.org, it could be a gstreamer bug

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

you might want to get a gstreamer log before send it there, just run totem as: GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 GST_DEBUG=*:2 totem 2> log and attach the log to the upstream report.

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

$ GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 GST_DEBUG=*:2 totem 2> log
bash: log: Permission denied

Any more suggestions?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

any news about this Bugabundo,did you send it upstream?

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

i dont (yet) have an account on gnome.... will try to open on in the weekend.

but the command you provided me, didnt work.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

did you try running it in a directory when you have write permission? it seems just you can't write there

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

as always, you seem to be correct.
on /tmp it worked.

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

tried also with totem-xine and got a different bug: audio gets out of sinc, but video playback is ok,

[Andreas Moog (ampelbein)]

Thanks for adding the upstream-link.

Is this still happening on Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal"?
