Bug Description

Hello! I've just noticed the following error thrown by Nautilus while opening a directory:

** Message: Error: GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error.
gstffmpegdemux.c(1062): gst_ffmpegdemux_open (): /play/decodebin0/ffdemux_swf0:
Input/output error

totem-video-thumbnailer couln't open file 'file:///home/bogdanb/desktop/flash-satellite.swf'
Reason: GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error..

I don't think it's Nautilus' fault; probably not even gstreamer's, but I don't know exactly where to point the bug report to. I'm using Gutsy, freshly-updated. The file is readable, I checked.

Could you provide the file please ?
And tell us which version of gstreamer you were using (0.8 or 0.10) ?

flash-satellite.swf Edit (989.7 KiB, application/x-shockwave-flash)

Here's the file. Nautilus doesn't give the error anymore (I think it only gave it when it first tried to thumbnail it using Totem, and it remembers it failed). Totem gives the same error or at least something similar when I try to double-click on it. Firefox can open it, though.

I'm not sure how to check the gStreamer version, but given that "apt-get show" only shows 0.10 I assume 0.8 isn't in the Gutsy repositories anymore (I haven't added anything else, as far as I know).
