Running 17.10 (gnome session and xorg).
I seem to have lost the ability to playback videos in Web(Epiphany), Videos(Totem) and Gthumb. Other applications such as VLC and Gnome MPV still work fine, as does Firefox. Have I accidentally disrupted a dependency or something?
Any help would be very welcome!



Thanks!

          To add a little more detail i was geting audio but no image just a green screen in all the named apps.
          This solved it: sudo apt purge gstreamer1.0-vaapi

          • I have a very similar issue on 18.04, for which I created bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer-vaapi/+bug/1784242 . I suppose it comes from a bad VAAPI support on some specific CPUs (Core i5 M 540 in my case). I use the same workaround
