Title:
  Confusing Media Player Open With

Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: totem

  I'm using Totem with the gstreamer backend on Ubuntu intrepid synched
  to the repos as of today 08/08/08. When I need to associate video
  footage to open with Media Player by right clicking the file and
  selecting open with another application, a user is presented with two
  confusing elements for Movie Player. The first is Movie Player, the
  second is Movie Player (Gstreamer).

  This is not only confusing for a user, but it's also unnecessary for
  the user to make a choice. I need Totem to use the gstreamer back end
  as without it, it has no demuxers and decoders to play anything. It is
  also confusing because even when Movie Player is selected instead of
  the gstreamer variant, Totem's help about shows that gstreamer is in
  fact being used as the backend anyway.
