Video playback with totem stutters afters an ffmpeg update from 0.10.7 to 1.0.7 Solution was to downgrade to ffmpeg 0.10.7
Two possible workarounds: 1) mask ffmpeg-1.0.7 in /etc/portage/package.mask 2) replace ffmpeg with libav: - emerge --unmerge media-videa/ffmpeg - emerge libav libpostproc
Which version of totem is this?
(In reply to Tom Wijsman (TomWij) from comment #2) > Which version of totem is this? media-video/totem-2.32.0-r2
with such a tight description, without sample, nor the gst-plugins-{ffmpeg,libav} used, or even if you have or not rebuilt them, there's not much anyone can do for you I fear.

Please find video sample attached gst-plugins-meta from ebuild with additional ffmpeg USE flag is used Please let me know if you need more information
Both versions 0.10-r8 and 1.0-r1 of media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta have been pulled by portage; not sure which one is actually used by totem
Attached video sample plays fine with ffplay or totem+libav or totem+ffmpeg-0.10.7 but plays jerky with totem+ffmpe-1.0.7
didnt try gnome2 totem, but with miro which is gstreamer-0.10 based also the sample seems just fine. what does totem print when you run it from the console?

I am running totem on LXDE. When running it from the console it just says: "(totem:12280): Totem-WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name" But it always says that - this does not seem to be related to the stuttering issue. My media-libs/gstreamer installed versions are 0.10.36 and 1.0.5-r1.
MAKING SOME PROGRESS: When adding the USE flag mmx in /etc/portage/package.use then totem works fine with ffmpeg-1.0.7! This is strange because I did not have to do this with ffmpeg-0.10.7 and I cannot figure out if something is wrong with the ffmpeg-1.0.7 ebuild?? Or should I have configure the mmx flag in my /etc/make.conf or should this mmx flag setup have gone in some overall definition file like /etc/make.conf??
Yes, the mmx use flag should have been in my /etc/make.conf USE section My mistake! Many thanks for your support. Not sure why ffmpeg-0.10.7 worked correctly even without the flag though.
