I can play .mkv videos (Totem Movie Player 3.0.1 Movie Player using
GStreamer 0.10.35), but cannot play SOME .flv files with the symptoms as
explained above. Some .flv videos I can play, however.

When I right click in Nautilus to see the properties of these not-
playing files I get a popup window saying "Creating Properties window.
You can stop this operation by clicking cancel." -- and that is all I
get. From the files that do play, I do get a properties window.

Looking at the not-playing files with `ls -l` or `stat` does not reveal
anything interesting.

I can play all these files with VLC player though.

Title:
  .mkv & .flv videos don't play in Totem Ubuntu 11.10

Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 11.10, I can't play any .mkv or .flv videos in Totem. I
  don't get any messages, they just don't play. I see only the first
  frame of the .mkv or .flv video freezing on Totem where it says
  "Playing" at the left-bottom, the time stays 0:00 / 0:00 and the audio
  is automatically muted  every time I play any .mkv or .flv video.
