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

 

Looking at http://projects.gnome.org/totem/
They say before filing bugs to make sure that is the latest version of totem and gstreamer that you are running.
I am therefore leaving the status as incomplete and would ask you to please test this against the development version of ubuntu (oneiric) and report back if you are having the issue here.

Title:
  When opening a directory with totem, video files are added to the
  playlist but some of them won't play

Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
