[Bug 3236] Re: totem-gstreamer doesn't play Apple QuickTime movie (fast start)

Thu May 11 05:43:22 UTC 2006

In the gstreamer-bugzilla for gst-plugins-bad 0.10.3 are some nasty issues discussed regarding faad ABI-incompatibilities http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340762 for faad-CVS and last stable faad-release. I have the feeling this is not directly gstreamer- or totem-related at all. It would also explain why I have these faad-issues with gst-launch-0.10 and totem, but not with mplayer on my machine. Afaik mplayer uses compiled-in faad where as gstreamer uses a different (shared) library-version of faad. My installed faad-library is
2.0.0+cvs20040908+mp4v2+bmp-0ubuntu3. I don't know how to check which faad version is compiled into my mplayer (0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu6). For sure is that mplayer doesn't use the shared library installed on my box. "ldd /usr/bin/mplayer | grep -i faad" did no produce any results. I hope this info helps a bit.
