Title:
  mozilla-plugin-vlc should conflict with totem-mozilla

Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vlc

  mozilla-plugin-vlc provides native vlc plugin and as such, it should
  conflict with totem-mozilla, which provides an emulated vlc plugin
  which isn't really compatible. To make real vlc plugin to work, it
  should be impossible to have both at the same time.

  Example: Finnish online TV recorder service "Elisa Viihde" uses VLC
  plugin to playback recorded TV programs when viewed through a web
  browser. If package totem-mozilla is installed, the service will not
  work. If however, one removes package "totem-mozilla" and installs
  "mozilla-plugin-vlc" instead, the service works just fine.

  A suitable fix would be to change debian/rules of mozilla-plugin-vlc
  to conflict with totem-mozilla. It could also provide "totem-mozilla"
  if provided functionality is close enough.

  If totem-mozilla provides any functionality over real mozilla-plugin-
  vlc, the totem-mozilla should be splitted to vlc emulation and real
  functionality and mozilla-plugin-vlc should be made conflicting with
  vlc emulation plugin package only. I'm not personally aware of any
  functionality provided by totem-mozilla that is not provided by
  mozilla-plugin-vlc.
