error on playing swf

DanceA.swf is an interactive shockwave file.

Sorry for error in original subject: is "error on playing wmv", should bei "error on playing swf"

Sorry for error in original subject ("error on playing wmv") should be "error on playing swf"
I found no way to update my original posting, maybe an admin can do it for me. Thanks.

I have the same problem.
I can't play .swf files with totem.

I get the same error message

"GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error."

I have Gutsy updated.

No problem with firefox.

P.S.: This problem occurs with any .swf file.

Starting a swf file with totem from terminal I get:

sh: jackd: not found
** Message: Error: GStreamer ha incontrato un errore generale nelle librerie di supporto.
gstffmpegdemux.c(1062): gst_ffmpegdemux_open (): /play/decodebin0/ffdemux_swf0:
Input/output error

could you try if that's still an issue in hardy or intrepid?

Ubuntu 8.04: still the same problem (tried with 2 different swf's)

"Internet GStreamer-Fehler: Problem mit der Unterstützungsbibliothek. Bitte schicken Sie einen Fehlerbericht."

Gruss (even german keyboard configured, no sharp s etc. and "at" available :( )

could somebody having hte issue send it to bugzilla.gnome.org? for forwarding instructions please have a look to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME ; thanks in advance.

I guess it would be my job to do this as I raised this case. However, I would appreciate if anybody else does since I have remarquable problems with english language. I had a look at the mentioned link /upstream/gnome but got only confused where what how to do.

@ Pedro: couldn't you do this? It looks you are familiar with the procedures.

ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope does not play the attached swf file

I have Linux Mint 7 (essentially Ubuntu 9.04) and also have problems with .swf files. I get the error message 'GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error.' as well, but I'm not entirely sure its the same problem: I get the following output from terminal when I attempt to play the file:

------------------------------

totem ~/Downloads/rta1.swf
/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/gdata/tlslite/utils/cryptomath.py:9: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
  import sha

gstffmpegdemux.c(1215): gst_ffmpegdemux_open (): /GstPlayBin:play/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0/ffdemux_swf:ffdemux_swf0:
Unhandled error code received

--------------------------

The file I have tried to play can be found at
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/tests/driverqualificationtest/hazardperceptionpart2/buildyourhazardperceptionskills.html
and clicking on any of the options in the main frame results in the problem occuring.

Also happens on Karmic trying to play the ḱarmic-boot-demo.swf file

I am experiencing the same problem with totem on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04. However, playing the same file using FF works fine.

#336597 seems to be a duplicate of this one. Or is it the opposite?

misiu_mp : The error message is the same, but the conditions are different, might be too soon to mark one as a duplicate. Bug 336597 only appeared recently, for all ubuntu versions so it's likely a change in youtube website. It looks like gstreamer stop after finding things it does not support in a swf file.

I have the same problem with "GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error". I also can't connect to BBC. Someone in #ubuntu told me to do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras. Didn't fix the problem, however.

now how do I get totem to use libswfdec?

I have this bug, too. My swf Files came over the plugin YouTube-Browser.

I have this bug too... it's really annoying to have the "Youtube" option and don't able to play most of the videos.

to reproduce just follow these steps:

1. open totem
2. select youtube from the sidebar
3. write "a ride into toronto"
4. select the first video
PUM!

or:

1. open totem
2. menu "open location"
3. paste: http://www.youtube.com/v/K9btWRjnjWk?f=videos&c=ytapi-GNOME-Totem-444fubtt-1&d=Aa_GPZt8t1WjXJl-QnyunkwO88HsQjpE1a8d1GxQnGDm&app=youtube_gdata
4. PUM!

Attached it's the output of totem command line

Forgot to add in my previous post the system information:

Totem Movie Player 2.28.2
Movie Player using GStreamer 0.10.25
Ubuntu 9.1

I have the bug with UBUNTU 9.10 and Totem Video-Player 2.28.2 (GStreamer 0.10.25) - I'm not able to play a SWF video

The problem I think is that libgstswfdec.so is not in the gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad package anymore.

How come the core gstreamer still has a hook to it though?

If anyone has the lib file, please, give us a link.

Thanks

I got an error GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error, While playing .SWF File
How can I Solve this ?

Still available in Ubuntu 11.10...
Surprisingly that this bug exists such a long~~time ;)

It shouldn't be gstreamer's bug, instead, Ubuntu shouln't use totem as the default application to open SWF file at all

Please help if you now the appropriate package name of this bug
