What do you mean it "plays"?
What does vlc say the codecs are?
What does the "file" command say the file is?
actually have audio in it that VLC couldn't play, which is when I got
this issue. The person that made the phone call has told me there was
actually no audio in the file, he didn't actually leave a message, he
just put down his headphones and forgot to disconnect the phone call.
But that not withstanding, I still shouldn't have got either of these
errors, the decoder error nor the opengl error, but what is more
significant is why does Totem behave differently under X11 to the way
it behaves under Wayland?
I agree with Tim that the text/html error is suspicious.
When did you get the opengl error? Right when you opened the
application or when you tried to play the file?
I recorded a new voice mail and sent the subsequent email to this email
address.
The attachment is named "audio.mp3".
When I click on the attachment and from the context menu select the
default player which is "Videos" the application gets an Opengl
initialisation error (this is under Wayland) straight away.
Sounds like the application has an issue with your opengl configuration.
I suggest you file an issue in bugzilla. You could also try running
it from the command line to see if there is any more information.
If I select "VLC" from the context menu the audio file plays but does
not play properly, VLC sends the audio to the left speaker only with a
very low volume. I have to increase the VLC audio to it max of 125% and
turn the headphones volume up to its max of 150% to make the audio being
played out the left speaker easily heard.
That's odd that vlc wouldn't automatically convert a mono stream to both
sides.
If I go into VLC's Audio preferences and set the "Stereo audio output
mode" to "Mono" or "Dolby Surround" (my headphones have the capability
of simulating 7.1 surround sound) or "Stereo" instead of the default of
unset, then the audio plays properly albeit the volume is still low,
much lower than with "mpv Media Player".
Maybe mpv is doing some automatic gain adjustment?
VLC will only tell me the file codec data while the audio is playing or
paused, if I wait until the audio has finished playing VLC doesn't show
any information on what the Codec is. VLC is telling me the codec is
"MPEG Audio layer 1/2(mpga), Type: Audio, Channels: Mono, Sample rate:
16000 Hz, Bits per sample: 32, Bitrate: 24 kb/s, and, because I'm
That's a strange format. 32 bits per sample??
You could also use "ffprobe" on the command line to get detailed info
about the file and its data formats.
playing the file from the email attachment it tells me the file location
is /tmp/pid-4265/audo-4.mp3 (this is not the name of the attachment, the
attachment is audio.mp3). Just further checking on the location data VLC
is showing, I shut VLC down and opened the attachment in VLC again, and
VLC told me the location was /tmp/pid-4265/audio-5.mp3, so it looks like
every time the file is "extracted" from the email to be played (Fedora,
KDE or whatever is doing the extract) it is being named differently each
time.
Every time it tries to save it, it finds that there is already a file
there with the same name, so it adds a number to it in order to not
overwrite the existing file. Each time you do it, the number increments.
I assume your email client is running as process number 4265.
