Hi,
same experience here. I was about to play a wmv video file in the default video player Totem Movie Player and the error window appeared when I clicked on Search codec button.

looks like a button was removed from data/gnome-app-install.glade
<widget class="GtkButton" id="button_preferences">

most of the code refering to it was also removed execpt a line in AppInstall/activation.py

the attached patch fixes this.

Hi,

it seems that Sam is right ;) I tried to comment the line

 app.button_preferences.hide()

from the activation.py file (/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/AppInstall/activation.py) and the searching for suitable codecs from Totem Movie Player went without any error. The application found some codecs, which I didn'y try to install, but anyway, the crash did not appear since the line is commented.

Somehow the patch didn't work for me when I tried to apply it with the 'patch' command, so I commented the line manually.

Thank you Sam ;)

Yes, it worked for me too :)
I was also able to search for the codecs (which I chose to install), then play my file without any problems.

Thanks!

Dennis, the status is set to fix committed. this means the developer has fixed the code. now we just need to wait for the fixed version to be released. there may not be a new version just to fix this single bug. most likely the dev will fix other things as well before making the release.

so it could be a few days or weeks before a new version reaches the repos.
