Ubuntu – Problems playing MP4 and MP3 files in 12.04 64bit

.mp412.04mp3

I'm experiencing the same problems on 2 machines with 12.04 (with beta2 AND yesterday final release); MP4 files don't play in default movie player and mp3 quality and timing seem poor. Installing medibuntu packages and restricted extras didn't solve.

The only player that seems to work fine for me is VLC.

I didn't have these problems in 11.04 and 11.10

Best Answer

You are probably effected by the gstreamer bug. I had similar problems with 12.04 despite the same files being playable in previous versions.I followed this fix and got my mp4/mp3 back
