Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnash

I visited www.ubuntuvideo.com with an install made from 20070925.1 d-i i386. I clicked on "Install plugin" and after a series of dialogues gnash was installed correctly. I played a bit with the earlier videos some of which seemed to work. I installed two plugin packages from the codec installation system.

Then I clicked the "play" button shown in the video titled "President of Ecuador Promotes Free Software". The system put up a dialogue box "searching for codecs" which then went away again saying no codec could be found.

However, when I selected "back" in my browser, and then "forward" again, and clicked "play" in the video, it worked.

There is no reason to think that this bug is not also present in current Ubuntu releases. I don't have the facilities for reproducing it here right now (I'm at Debconf) but the information I provided should be sufficient to either reproduce (and hence confirm) the bug, or to demonstrate that it has been fixed.
