    Default Video freezes during mpeg video playback using Phonon

    I am trying out the Phonon media framework on Linux (Debian etch) and my video keeps freezing. I am trying to view a MPEG file created using VLC. I used the MPEG PS encapsulation method for the file and MP2V and MP2A codecs for the video and audio.

    During playback the video and audio stops and I get the following error :-
    ** (<unknown>:4727) WARNING **: packetize: ******** unknown id 0xBC

    Has anyone else seen this?

    Have you tried to play the files with the "backend-" applications?
    Xine and/or Totem-GStreamer - depending on your backend.

    If this works, you then should try to play them with Dragonplayer (KDE 4.x) to see if they run generally with Phonon.

    I do have issues with GStreamer with one of my datafiles, which work without any issues with the Xine backend.

    Additionally:
    In case GStreamer is the issue: Etch is quite old and if you try running with the normal packages you only have the old GStreamer.
    So either get a newer GStreamer version (helped me in one case) or just update to Lenny (which I consider stable for development purposes).
