OGV/Jukebox test summary: Re: 13.1.0 release candidate 3 (build 22) released

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Mitch,
Please fill a ticket with this information.
If you have log files, is better, and a link to the file you are using
where you have the problem.
If you can try do:

gst-launch -v playbin
uri=file:///home/gonzalo/sugar-devel/test_data_files/intro.ogv

(with the problematic file)
this can help us to know if is a error in the activity or in the gstreamer
libraries.

Also, we have gst-launch-0.10 and gst-launch-1.0, please test both.

Gonzalo
