http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553857 Summary: Multimedia apps do not start opensuse-codec-installer on playing restricted media (mp3, etc.) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: badshah400@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 SUSE/3.5.4-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.4 Both banshee and totem fail to play restricted media on a default install as expected. But in earlier versions <= 11.1, attempting to play restricted media would start a helper app called openSUSE-codec-installer that took users to a website where 1-click installs to required codecs would be present. With 11.2 both banshee and totem are incapable of launching this helper-app, although it is installed. Even more alarmingly, totem reports "Internal data flow error" upon an attempt to play such a file. How is a new user supposed to know about installing restricted codecs? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Play restricted media using banshee or totem 2. 3. Actual Results: Does not work; totem reports error, banshee does nothing. Expected Results: Helper app should launch guiding user to codec installation like in 11.2 or before -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
