Miro won't play mp4

[Bulkley]

The only workaround for Miro that I can come up with is to go into its Preferences--> Playback and uncheck the "Play Media in Miro" box. Miro will then launch externally the system default player for the file type (such as VLC or SMPlayer, whatever .mp4 is associated with), instead of using the internal gstreamer player for playback. It's clunky, but does work.

Agreed, it does work although features are transfered to SMPlayer.

If I load Miro in a terminal, the only error messages are these:

Code: Select all

** (process:7415): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GMountMountFlags' as flags when in fact it is of type 'GEnum'

** (process:7415): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GDriveStartFlags' as flags when in fact it is of type 'GEnum'

** (process:7415): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GSocketMsgFlags' as flags when in fact it is of type 'GEnum'

When this problem first showed up I did some searching and got the impression these are minor and not a problem. Is that true?
