[Bug 851481] [NEW] totem prompts for i386 plugin on 64 bit system

 

Public bug reported:

When I try and play some files, totem decides it hasn't got an
appropriate codec (event though I have the gstreamer good, bad, and ugly
plugins installed). When I allow it to search for a suitable plugin, it
suggests 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386' (and I do have the 64 bit
version of gstreamer0.10-plugins-good installed).

At the moment, clicking on Install does absolutely nothing, but when
this has happened in the past, clicking on Install warns that it will
remove most of Ubuntu in order to install the i386 plugin.

A file that demonstrates this problem is at:
http://http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/video/2011/sep/15/bill-bailey-
gary-numan-cars-video - it works fine in Firefox, but if I download it
to the desktop (eg with the firefox Download YouTube videos plugin) and
try to play in totem, I hit this bug.
