[matteo sisti sette <856988@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

removing the ~/.gstreamer-0.10 directory did solve the issue for me too,
but thumbnails preview and right-click/Properties still don't work in
Nautilus. Is there a workaround for that too?

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 ...
  WARNING: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: No decoder available for type 'video/quicktime, variant=(string)iso'.

  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'?
