Upstream did not fix the bug, instead they removed support for
installing missing codecs on-demand entirely.

Totem only officially supports Flatpak nowadays, in which they can
bundle all needed dependencies and not worry about out-of-band codec
installation wizards. Ubuntu can not do the same for its default media
player.

I will look at making a downstream workaround for this issue that keeps
the missing plugin wizard for the existing releases. Going forward
Ubuntu will be shipping a different default media player, and those
wishing to continue using new versions of Totem can get the Flatpak.
