Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in
Thank you. I installed gstreamer1.0-libav:i386 and now instead of crashing, it just doesn't play the video and prints the error messages in the attachment "Errors printed when trying to play a video" to the console each time. Seeing as one of the lines is "fixme:gstreamer:watch_bus typefind: Could not determine type of stream.", I'm not sure I have actually managed to install the correct gstreamer plugin.
Try running the following winetricks:
winetricks quartz wmp9
The reason I mention this is because of this line in the terminal:
err:quartz:GetClassMediaFile Media class not found
and
err:msvideo:ICLocate Required media codec 'vidc I420' not found!
I think those winetricks may help to work around the problem at least.
Thank you. Running that winetricks command installing the codecs *almost* works. First, i420 is actually a different codec, but I found it on the same site ( https://www.moviecodec.com/download-video-codecs/helix-yv12-i420-vfw-284/ ). The catch is the video plays upside-down. Which is very strange. The same video files play just fine in VLC/mplayer under Linux. I have attached the console output from wine when playing a video in case there is anything relevant.
