Sure, it's up here now:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/mediaplayer-app/+bug/1295375

I verified it today with a local file, and it still happened.  I 
had thought maybe it was due to playing over NFS, but nope.

Oh, it does work already.  Apt-get install nfs-common, mount 
host:/foo /mnt/foo, browse to it via file manager, launch a 
video.  It doesn't work *well*, but it does at least work.  It 
tends to randomly freeze, until I manually do a small seek to 
un-stick it.
