This video is not playing smoothly with totem or VLC under Ubuntu:

http://thomas-guettler.de/tmp/20181011_113036-0.MP4

It works with Windows.

What I mean with "is not playing smoothly" is:

  • I see it, but it looks like there are only four frames. The playing jumps.
  • On Windows it is smooth. You see the car in the background drive along.

Version: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

Is there a way to get it working like it should???

Background: This is just an example. All videos created by my Lumix camera don't play well under Ubuntu :-(

I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 along with the restricted extras. I've also installed virtually all the GStream packages in an attempt to fix this problem. Whenever I try to play an mp4 I get a mixture of psychedelic colors. I can make out movement in the videos, but I cannot discern features. I do not have this problem with another Linux I installed.

My computer runs an AMD processor with R7 Radeon graphics.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Whn I try to play youtube video in Totem I get this error:

No supported stream was found. You might need to allow more transport protocols or may otherwise be missing the right GStreamer RTSP extension plugin.

enter image description here

I have all Totem plugins installed including

Plugins for the Totem media player
GStreamer coded installer
GStreamer extra plugins

Any idea?
