Yes, from a fresh install. I had all media types working flawlessly as long as I was in Intrepid. For reasons that are beyond this thread, I had to install Jaunty afresh. (Thrice, actually!)
Usually, I play mp3 with some music player or other, but just to test these things I use Totem. For FLVs I used Totem, always.
Oh, I apologise for the misunderstanding. I was referring to the situation at hand, i.e. the formats not working. The original post is quite comprehensive, and I was even planning to suggest to turn this into HTML or something, since I found navigating to the different sections by scrolling quite time consuming.Anywho, what sucks? This howto works - simple as that. I've used it myself on 4 Ubuntu versions now.
Anyhow, I have removed everything now -- codecs, plugins, mplayer, etc. I use only (pre-recorded) CDs, YouTube, and FLAC files for music.
I used a combination of the "safe" method and in compiz settings manager deselecting the unredirect fullscreen windows.
Everything is working perfectly now for me
Go to the link below and use the safe method (IMO), it worked well for me but backup your OS first with Clonezilla.

What have I done wrong? After a new reload of Jaunty am now implementing your excellent all in one package but suddenly I have a Java permission banner asking for an OK but I can do nothing to get it to carry on. Help!
Try the tab key and the arrow keys, etc. I remember it does act strangely at times.

Arrow keys did it thanks
Wow..
The truth is always beautiful, no matter how ugly it might seem at first.
I got this:
any suggestion? I followed the instructions of this Howto.Code:dmesg | grep segfault [ 2412.457520] npviewer.bin[8954]: segfault at ff9bea2c ip 00000000ff9bea2c sp 00000000ffa2ab9c error 14 [ 6809.548152] npviewer.bin[17777]: segfault at ff9bea2c ip 00000000ff9bea2c sp 00000000ff9e64ac error 14 [ 6814.943248] npviewer.bin[17797]: segfault at ff9bea2c ip 00000000ff9bea2c sp 00000000ffc5871c error 14
Thanks,

Just posting here again to report that I can now play mp3 without problems. I had never used the Medibuntu repository prior to the fresh install of Jaunty, so I assumed - initially - that I wouldn't need it. It turns out, that following the instructions on the first page to the T makes all these formats work. (Duh!)
Thanks, ubuntu-freak, for the instructions.
Edit: Oh, and FLV, too!
