I can't seem to make sense of this. I'd added/installed way too much cr*p, and rather than trim it back manually it was simpler to re-install over the top, formatting /, but not /home, keeping everything intact. Everything works fine, except for one little detail. Totem keeps crashing when I try to open any files with it.

I'm using Gnome-mplayer in the meantime as default video player, but Totem is more convenient in some case, so I'd appreciate some help getting this to work. Besides, it was working fine before, makes no sense that it doesn't now.

Ran Totem from Terminal, it opened. Then attempted to play an Anime file on the drive (as an example), and the following is what feedback i got:

[david@Kenpachi ~]$ totem

Tried this with several other files, all same result. I don't understand what the problem is. It seems to be suggesting something related to the Nvidia driver or something, I'm not too clear, but I have no idea why, or what to do. Any ideas? This is dealable, but very frustrating. Help?


edit: Sorted now, completely re-installed fresh.

It's certainly something about video drivers....

Is video ok with other apps?

Try reinstalling the driver, but the repos are still broke, maybe you shoud wait till they work again

[sarcastic_bastard]

Nope, everything else works fine, all other players run fine, and even desktop effects works fine, wobbly windows and all. Re-installed driver and logged out and back in again, no different.

[sarcastic_bastard]

This is odd. Been using Google desktop search, and opening a vid file thru it played fine in Totem, but opening the same thing in Totem normally resulted in fail still. I'm confuzzled. : /

Fresh install of Zen, fully updated, and same issue. Really frakkiing annoying.

[don_crissti]

It seems to be related to libva. Run vainfo in terminal and you will see...
You need vdpau-video or vdpau-va-driver... apparently not in the repos. Maybe slax or siamer could try building a RPM.

*sigh*

Interestingly, just tried playing a .flv file, and it worked, but crashes on anything else. :/
