Description of problem: I've noticed that when playing many Ogg Theora videos I get an error telling me I am lacking the x-ogg-skeleton element. However this being Ogg Theora, the only video format we play out of the box I would expect this to work without problems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gstreamer-0.10.20-1.fc10.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.9-1.fc10.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.20-1.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. download and open example video in totem or banshee. http://blip.tv/file/get/Geeko-GregKHTalksAboutTheLinuxKernel503.ogg Actual results: Note how a dialog is thrown up complaining that a gstreamer element is missing, namely the x-ogg-skeleton one. Expected results: Playback of Ogg Theora video Additional info:
Also happens here: http://www.gnome.org/~federico/docs/rpm2git/rpm2git-intro.ogg It seems to happen when RecordMyDesktop is used. # Jeff Ollie Says: August 7th, 2008 at 10:36 pm e The Skeleton data is a format for embedding metadata in Ogg streams. I’ve seen this happen with other Oggs produced with recordmydesktop - Skeleton support seems to have been added recently. http://xiph.org/ogg/doc/skeleton.html http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/Ogg_Skeleton So my guess is it is in our libraries but gstreamer hasn't registered the mime-type.
Oh and I should note the movie actually plays for me after I hit cancel on codina.
You can do a little more digging into the Ogg file with "ogginfo" from the vorbis-tools package: [jcollie@lt21223 ~]$ ogginfo Geeko-GregKHTalksAboutTheLinuxKernel503.ogg Processing file "Geeko-GregKHTalksAboutTheLinuxKernel503.ogg"... New logical stream (#1, serial: 771150c2): type skeleton New logical stream (#2, serial: 5c8876f4): type theora New logical stream (#3, serial: 369f373a): type vorbis [...] [jcollie@lt21223 ~]$ ogginfo rpm2git-intro.ogg Processing file "rpm2git-intro.ogg"... New logical stream (#1, serial: 360bc2c1): type skeleton New logical stream (#2, serial: 1bf56800): type theora New logical stream (#3, serial: 1f4f58a4): type vorbis [...] But for example if you check the spacewalk video recently published in the Red Hat Magazine blog: http://www.redhat.com/v/magazine/ogg/spacewalk.ogg [jcollie@lt21223 ~]$ ogginfo spacewalk.ogg Processing file "spacewalk.ogg"... New logical stream (#1, serial: 024951b0): type theora New logical stream (#2, serial: 124f06d4): type vorbis [...] Skeleton support appears to have been added in version 0.3.7.1 of recordmydesktop...
This appears to be the same bug in the Gnome bugzilla: Bug 537599 – gstfile / discover fails for ogg files with skeleton stream http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537599
There's a patch available upstream as well.
Building in rawhide. Reopen the bug if it doesn't fix the problem (although I'll probably test it as well in the morning).
Need to add gstpb-0.10.20-ogg-skeleton.patch to F-9 as well.
