Bug Description
Binary package hint: totem
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04
Regression In 9.04 (Jaunty): When using totem-xine, totem-gstreamer, etc to open an iso, it mounts the iso to .gvfs, and then doesn't play it. The files contained in the mounted folder are the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders, and none of the files contained in them play. Right clicking an ISO and opening it with totem (Movie Player menu option) used to play the ISO if it was a DVD in Intrepid Ibex / 8.10. This is quite important for people who are using netbooks and cannot watch DVDs via an internal drive.
In the case of ALIEN.iso (Or JURASSIC169.ISO or APOLLO69.ISO or any other backup of a DVD)
Expected: Right click on ALIEN.iso, navigate to "Open With > Open with "Movie Player", DVD playback begins.
Actual: Right click on ALIEN.iso, navigate to "Open With" > Open with "Movie Player", DVD is mounted to .gvfs, appears on desktop. totem doesn't play any files or add ALIEN.iso to playlist.
Reproducible: Always.
Other Notes: Physical DVDs are unaffected, and play normally (mounted on /media/cdrom0, but playback from /dev/sr0)

Temporary workaround: Install totem-xine using your package manager. Create a custom command launcher. Right click an ISO, click properties, click the "Open With" tab, click Add, click the Use a custom command arrow, and set the command to totem-xine dvd://

Sorry, my initial workaround is incomplete, and as a result launches whatever is in your dvd drive. I made this mistake because I had the original DVD and the iso I was trying to mount in my DVD drive.
