[Bug 846367] [NEW] When opening a directory with totem, video files are added to the playlist but some of them won't play

 

Public bug reported:

I put all my movies under one directory, each movie is in it's own
subdirectory. When I open the parent directory which contains all the
movies subdirectories ($ totem my_movies_directory), all the video files
in the tree are added to the playlist. Navigating through the playlist,
though, I have found that when playing some files, totem shows "Playing
0:00" in the status bar and nothing is played. All files are played
normally when opening their respective subdirectories directly, though.
I copied all the video files and put them directly under one directory
and tried opening that directory with totem and the same thing has
happened with no apparent reason. Nothing is dumped to the shell. I
think that would be a bit annoying for someone wanting to put some set
of files under a specific directory directly in the playlist by opening
that directory, rather than having to open each subdirectory  and
enqueue it's video files to the playlist.
