Title:
  Movie fails to play after auto download and install of codecs etc

Status in Totem Movie Player:
  New
Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: totem

  Have included details per "Please include, if possible" as follows :

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.
  ubuntu 8.10 desktop i386 installed from the Live iso cd image  (its excellent) 

  the installation is minimal - details hopefully in the bug report collected info - will add details if required but not sure exactly what you will want so briefly listing these - 
  * 1.6 ghz pentium cpu, nvidia video card, generic dvd/cd combo
  * installed on a 40 gb hard drive partitioned to dual boot with whingedoze XP partitioned as follows - 
  -- 5gb windows on sda1
  -- sda5 to sda15 partitioned in chunks max 5gb but smaller for /boot and /tmp and /swap 
  boot selection via grub

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
  totem:
    Installed: 2.24.2-0ubuntu4
    Candidate: 2.24.3-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
       2.24.3-0ubuntu1 0
          500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/main Packages
   *** 2.24.2-0ubuntu4 0
          500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What you expected to happen
  Expected the movies to play. 
  used normal DVDs - 
  a) No Quarter - Jimmy page and robert plant - Unledded
  b) TopGear - The challenges 
  c) The Brittas Empire - complete series 2

  4) What happened instead
  No quarter gave a message saying it couldnt play the disc after totem had automatically initiated a download of some package updates for codecs etc. 
  message box was shown with messages "an error occurred" and "Could not read from resource." 

  Top Gear and Brittas Empire both just hung and didnt respond so I
  ended up force closing totem.

  I noted there is a later candidate version available so as soon as I can I will try that and update the bug report. 
  Meanwhile, please let me know whether the details provided enable you to diagnose the cause.
