Can't read videos in democracy player

Hi everyone,

I installed yesterday democracy from AUR and the install was fine.

But I can't read videos : when I hit the play button democracy gets really slow (almost freezing), and I see the video in green...

INFO     got action:playViewNamed?viewName=matchingItems&firstItemId=330
INFO     Playing item with renderer: <frontend_implementation.xinerenderer.Renderer instance at 0x8e3f2ec>
TIMING   dispatch action playViewNamed too slow (0.502 secs)
TIMING   idle (dispatchAction() (using asUrgent)) too slow (0.504 secs)
INFO     got file:///tmp/tmp_wQNhg.html
TIMING   gtkAsyncMethod: <function pause at 0x86e4994> took too long: 1.285

Is that a xine engine behind democracy ? Because I can read these videos with totem-xine...

As I assumed it was a codecs problem (despite I had the "codecs" package already installed), I installed all the codecs from mplayerhq, in /usr/lib/win32, and made a link /usr/lib/codecs->/usr/lib/win32.

But nothing changes...

Here's what it says in the console  when I (try to) play a video :

Did anyone ever experienced the same problem ?

Thank you !

Re: Can't read videos in democracy player

It seems that my problem comes from mp4 video format.

I installed kaffeine, a xine engined video player, and it's exactly the same, a green ang lagging video.

So is there anyone who can play mp4 files with xine here ? and how have you done ???

Thanks.
