Anybody else having problem in playing back flv's after updating their Ogg support?
I saw and installed the update earlier and now my Media Player says:
"Unable to play media. Media format not supported." I only had the safe repos enabled, no testing, no devel.
The phone recognizes the files as Flash Video but can't play it.
I already emailed the author and he's looking at it, just wondering if anybody else is having trouble.

UPDATE:
Just found out that our phone can't play 360p flv's in the first place... it was just a coincidence that I had to play a 360p flv the day I received the update. 240p works fine.

i got extra decoders support installed so flv playback shouldn't be a problem. i also tried installing the deb through xterm but i just got errors on missing dependencies.
just now, i tried something else... i downloaded 240p flv videos and they played ok. but i think i remember playing the 360p files before installing the update. can somebody who haven't updated their Ogg support confirm this for me? Thanks!

@prankster
i just installed KMPlayer. same thing, can't play the 360p flvs but it's ok with the 240p's...

Ogg Support shouldn't affect FLV playback in any way and that's why I'm wondering why updating Ogg Support would break it.

Especially if lower resolution videos are working and 360p is not, suggests that the decoding is actually working.

I think I'll give this a rest... I rolled back to the previous version but still can't play the 360p flv.

@Changegames
were you able to play 360p flv's before the update?

VLC doesn't use GStreamer, so it shouldn't be affected by Ogg Support update.
