Annenberg Learner

13.2.0 is installed in a 1.5 here and I've found it fails to run movies in Annenberg Learner. The introductory page for the Mechanical Universe series is at http://www.learner.org/resources/series42.html . These movies worked in 12.1.0 or 11.3.0. With the fluendo decoder installed, mp3 audio works in Totem Movie player. gstreamer packages were just installed with this.

% sudo yum install -y gstreamer-{ffmpeg,plugins-{good,ugly,bad{,-free,-nonfree}}}

Still no improvement for the Annenberg Learner movies.

Can anyone identify the problem or suggest something to work on?

Not without fully checking every step of your process. Today I've tested 13.2.0 by added codecs and Adobe Flash and the video played fine, with well synchronised audio. The web site you refer to has used Flash to encapsulate the video, so the installation of Adobe Flash is critical to success. Speculation: you didn't follow the instructions, either neglecting the whole thing, the nspluginwrapper step, or the removal of gnash. This isn't a problem for deployments, since they create builds with these things already done. Therefore this isn't a bug. --Quozl 22:30, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
