[Bug 971737] Re: nautilus can't create properties window for files with unknown codec

 

Affects me too. Not a thumbnail issue; like others, Totem won't play
affected files, but other players successfully do.

Title:
  nautilus can't create properties window for files with unknown  codec

Status in Zeitgeist Data-Sources:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The following has been tried on several mp4 video files
  (downloaded from youtube via the "download-helper" plugin).

  1. Nautilus:

  Right clicking on the file and going to "properties" results in a message:
  "Creating Properties Window..."      and nothing happens after that.

  PcmanFM on the other hand has no trouble displaying the file's
  properties.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2. Totem:

  Doesn't play the file. When running in terminal I get:

  """
  (totem:5491): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: Read/writable property 'object' on class 'ZeitgeistDpPlugin' has type 'TotemObject' which is not exactly equal to the type 'GObject' of the property on the interface 'PeasActivatable'
  """

  VLC on the other hand has no trouble playing the file.
