  GStreamer | don't know | Ver: 0.10.12
           Summary: Very few media types will play in Totem - plugins not
                    launching correctly?
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.12
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: don't know
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: opeyer at nimr.mrc.ac.uk
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: 2.17/2.18
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


I am trying to use Totem to play back a variety of media files but I am finding
that the number of file types supported is very few - in fact the only files I
have eve got to play are a couple of .avi movies from a camera of mine. Nothing
else, from any source, plays (not .mov, not .mpg, not .wmv, etc.)

There is no difference in which files I can play from either Totem via the
desktop or playbin from the terminal.

gst-inspect gives the list of plugins shown below, which seems pretty
comprehensive (and includes the specific examples given above) - so why won't
they play?
Is my installation broken, or are a lot of files indeed actually unplayable
other than on proprietary players such as Windows Media Player, Quicktime, etc.
etc.?
