[Bug 856988] Re: totem cannot play quicktime file after upgrade to oneiric
Rocko, what do you call natty and oneiric plugins? what do you have in
the natty directory? Could you diff the directory between the buggy and
working version?

Title:
totem cannot play quicktime file after upgrade to oneiric
Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Totem can't play quicktime files on a PC upgraded from natty to
oneiric. On a VM with oneiric installed from scratch, however, totem
can play the same files, so it seems to be a configuration error. Both
the PC and VM run 64 bit oneiric, have the same kernel version, and
both have ia32 libs installed
A sample file that fails to play can be found in comment 5 of bug
#851481.
On the PC that fails to play the files, totem prompts to install the
plugin for 'Quicktime demuxer' but then gnome-codec-install can't find
a suitable plugin.
On the VM that *can* play the files, totem prompted to install the
same plugin and gnome-codec-install found and installed
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad. (These are both
already installed on the PC that cannot play the files.)
The output from gst-launch-0.10 uridecodebin=file:///<file in
question> is:
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...

I have tried reinstalling all the installed gstreamer packages as well
totem, but to no avail.
How does gstreamer match plugins against the video type, eg
'video/quicktime, variant=(string)iso'?
