View Full Version : Ogg files won't play video in F9

I just installed Fedora 9 Preview release on a laptop via the LiveCD and did a Yum update to bring it current. I than downloaded the 'truthhappens' ogg file from redhatmagazine's site, but F9 (Totem movie player)) will not play the video correctly; audio works though. Basically Movie Player displays a white screen. My Fedora 8 install play it fine, but I have Mplayer installed with extra codecs, so it's not a clean (totally free) install.

Any one else seeing this from a LiveCD install? I checked Bugzilla and did a forum search, but didn't see anything on this for F9. I'm downloading another Ogg file to see if the same thing happens.

Thx,

AntMan

Works fine on my F9 (PR) here. What video card driver are you using? I'm using the intel driver as my card is the integrated 945GM.

I have an ATI Mobility x1300 and the default F9 install installed a radeon driver. I just changed xorg.conf to use vesa, but X wouldn't start so I switched back to radeon.
hmmm... I'm not sure why the system will not let me use the vesa driver?!?

Going to try several more things...

Works here on F9, but I have a bucket of codecs installed.

I tried on my other T60 with F9 loaded and it also has the issue. It's weird because flash videos play fine via firefox. hmmm... still looking into it. ;)
