["solved"] debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
["solved"] debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
I've just installed debian wheezy and things are pretty much working in the multimedia area. In particular, CDs and DVDs are playing. But I've run into troubles with mp4 files. VLC plays them, but the audio is terrible and the video is a bit worse than I remember in squeeze. Totem does nothing at all with these files. I presume there's some library out there that I need to load, but I don't know which one. I've added
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free
to /etc/apt/sources.list
and the following packages are present:
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg/wheezy uptodate 1:0.10.13-0.2
gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3/wheezy uptodate 0.10.15.debian-1
gstreamer0.10-gconf/wheezy uptodate 0.10.31-3

Something seems to have changed between squeeze and wheezy. Any clues what?

Re: debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
As a postscript to this question, I probably should mention that my wheezy installation is amd64. My squeeze installation--where mp4 works--was i386. -- al
Re: debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
You do not need D-M to play mp4 so perhaps the problem is from there? Mp4 files play fine here stock wheezy. Make sure you have libav-tools/ffmpeg installed and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg.

Re: debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
The gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package is installed (see list). Regarding libav-tools/ffmpeg, I did install the lib-avtools package. No change. I'm not parsing "libav-tools/ffmpeg". apt-cache search didn't turn up something resembling that, so I'm not sure what you mean. Since I DO need, I think, D-M for codecs, I'm not sure what to do about it. -- al
Re: debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
Edit: 3000th post.
I doubt it. I am sure DM can play something regular debian can't but not much. Either way it is simpler to solve this with DM enabled. Anyway ffmpeg/libav means either not this whole string combined. I just wanted to make sure you have the whole libav* stack installed. I would say if we can narrow this down it will be easier. Try installing mplayer2. If it still has the issue with mp4 files its either the file or the libavcodec etc packages from D-M have a bug. If so you should report it to the dev there.
Anyway to install mplayer2 just run as root:
As normal user play the mp4 file:
It should also print debugging information about the file.

Re: debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
OK, mplayer installed. It played my mp4 file perfectly. But the installation didn't bring in any libraries to help totem or vlc with their problems, which seem unchanged.

Re: debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
Thank you for this thread. I've had the same problem for a few months. It came with an upgrade. I ran a thread about it at the time with no resolution. Miro and Totem will not play mp4 while smplayer will. I have assumed that another upgrade would solve this but, so far, none has. My guess, and it's only a guess, is that there is some out dated configuration somewhere that is incompatible with up-to-date Wheezy.

Re: debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
I want to mention again something I said early on. My wheezy installation is amd64, not i386, e.g., I have this plugin:

not this one:

Re: debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
The mp4s I'm using as tests were produced by ffmpeg. It turns out that I didn't have it installed yet, so I installed it. This causes libav-tools to be removed, for what it's worth. This hasn't changed anything, but I do want to be a bit more precise. VLC shows the video pretty much OK; my memory that it used to be a bit better was wrong. It's the audio that's the problem. It has an annoying hiss. Totem remains completely helpless with my mp4 files.
Re: debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
Some progress!
The audio hiss problem with VLC seems to be some kind of initial condition of the app bug. I went into Audio->Audio Channels. "Stereo" was selected. I changed it to "Left." No hiss. I changed it to "Right." No hiss. I changed it back to "Stereo." NO HISS. I quite the app and restarted it. No hiss.
The above is not really correct. The hiss eventually returned. I have found a solution to this problem however. In VLC's Tools->Preferences->Audio change the "Output module" from "Default" to "ALSA audio output." Then, in the new option that appears after this change select the appropriate option for your sound card. I selected "SB Live! 5.1 [SBO220], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback Default Audio Device."
Save the change. Restart VLC and check the audio preferences to verify the change just made. Henceforth the audio should be good.
Totem is still FUBAR for some mp4 files though.

Re: debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems
More progress. It seems that 64-bit wheezy totem will play SOME mp4 files.
The mp4 files that I can't play were created by ffmpeg (from youtube videos). mplayer2 and VLC can play these mp4 files. I recreated one such file with the wheezy version of ffmpeg and the problem persists. This is looking like some form of limitation (bug from my perspective) in the gstreamer mp4 decoder rather than a totem bug.

Re: debian wheezy new install: mp4 problems (now: totem only
I used mplayer on two files that I thought were mp4, just to verify that they really are mp4. The first doesn't play with totem + gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, the second does:
Detected file format: QuickTime/MPEG-4/Motion JPEG 2000 format (libavformat)
Detected file format: QuickTime/MPEG-4/Motion JPEG 2000 format (libavformat)
And to reiterate, VLC and mplayer2 have no problem with either mp4 file.
I think this probably awaits work on gstreamer0.10-plugins-good and I should probably close this thread. I'll wait a day.
