Showtime test plan¶
Below are the test cases that should be run when Showtime is updated to new major releases in the development version of Ubuntu. These should also be run for all Showtime Stable Release Updates.
Showtime is the default media player of the Ubuntu Desktop, starting with Ubuntu 26.04
All tests are meant to be executed from a GNOME Wayland desktop session (the default Ubuntu Desktop session).

Open “Video Player” from the applications menu
Verify that you are presented with a screen to open media
View a media file¶
Open “Video Player”
Click “Open…”
Verify that the file selector dialog showed up
Choose any video file
Verify that video is played back successfully
Verify the scrubbing (seeking) works successfully using the playback slider, and the forward/backward buttons.
Verify that rotation works (available in the cog menu)
Verify that changing the playback speed works. Try scrubbing at different playback speeds.
Repeat for as many codecs as you have available. Ideally {H.264,H.265,AV1,VP9} x {Opus, AAC}.

Right Click, Open With Video Player
Verify that the media plays back.
