youtube plugin in totem needs demuxer plugin

[fretchen]

I produced the following problem.
1. Installed Hardy on a VMServer
2. Started Totem and activated the Youtube plugin
3. Search Video and installed the proposed codecs
4. Try to watch the video, but i get the following error

"The playback of this video requires a flash demuxer plugin, which is not installed".

When i activated the plugin and installed the codecs, it would be userfriendly, if the plugin would work out-of-the-box without additional installations

In the konsole i get the following messages with now another error message:
fred@kubuntu:~$ totem

fixed in intrepid. the codec installer gets launched

[Andres J. Riofrio (andresjriofrio)]

This is not fixed in Intrepid, at least not in my experience.

When I double-click on a YouTube video in Totem, it does launch the "Search for suitable codec?" dialog and tries to install the codecs. The first option, ffmpeg plugin, is the one I chose. After downloading and installing, which took barely a minute, Totem tried playing the YouTube video, but after around 10 seconds of the clock pointer, it said, "The playback of this video requires a flash demuxer plugin, which is not installed."

I tried closing and opening Totem, then I tried playing the same video. It again opened the "Search for suitable codec?" dialog. This time only the other option, "GStreamer plugins for mms, wavpack, quicktime, musepack; GStreamer plugins from the bad set" was available. I selected it and, after downloading and installing, it finally worked.

The "ffmpeg plugin" should be fixed or removed from the list. Unless this just happened to me?

Totem 2.26.1, with GStreamer 0.10.23 [Ubuntu 9.04] ask to search a "demuxer flash" and fail whit "I can't found it".
