Instead the image window only shows a black screen.Either clicking on the item, or selecting "view with" using the RMB, the result is the same. The *same* mpg files can be played with noatun, kaboodle, and xine with both sound and video. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open a Nautilus folder with mpg files within 2.select any mpg file, and click on icon or RBB choice: "Open with simple MPEG player (plaympg) 3.The viewer loads a window Actual Results: Sound in heard, but instead of moving images, all that you will see is a black screen. Expected Results: There should be moving images in the view window.

The same mpg files that do not show animated images in plaympg, consistently work perfectly with noatun, kaboodle, and xine, both under KDE and Gnome.
In view of the current workarounds available (in Red Hat Fedora Core), and the issue of MP3 licencing, I respectfully submit that this bug be marked as closed.
