Description Tomas Jamrisko 2011-12-14 13:55:15 UTC

Description of problem:
gstreamer (or maybe at least rhythmbox and totem) do not play video nor audio files properly (in case of totem the video is frozen), rhythmbox doesn't seem to play anything.

Note that it was tested just via vnc, as I do not have physical access to any ppc64 machine. 

Report based on different behaviour than on x86_64 and i386 (with vnc), which work as expected

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.32-220.el6.ppc64
rhythmbox-0.12.8-1.el6.ppc64
totem-2.28.6-2.el6.ppc64
gstreamer-0.10.29-1.el6.ppc64


How reproducible:
Always 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect remotely to a ppc 
1. Get an ogv or ogg file (tested on this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Typing_example.ogv (will attach all files it was tested on if required)
2. Login to a vnc session
3. Try opening the ogg/ogv files in totem/rhythmbox
  
Actual results:
The ogv on totem --the video itself will be frozen, the progress bar will move
ogg on rhythmbox -- the timer won't move (probably doesn't play, no sound over vnc)

Expected results:
The video isn't a single static frame on totem
The slider/playback time indicator on rhythmbox change
