movie player (totem) closes when media is launched. does not play media.

[hkcpclabz]

*I have the same problem: Movie Player closes after inserting DVD. Also closes when attempting to play Real or winmedia files on my Dell GX270 box. The strange thing is that I don't have the bug on my Dell GX260 - both boxes used the same install cd for 9.04 - I used the "Ubuntu restricted extras" for each as well...*

Binary package hint: totem

Totem Movie Player opens fine and seems to find media, except launching. When i open the player i can load media but as soon as i try to launch it, Totem closes. Every time. I tried re-installing the packages, but no luck. This is strange because i didn't have this problem while using Ubuntu 8.10 (just upgraded to 9.04.) This renders the media player useless on my system. What a PAIN! I hope a fix is made. Thanks Canonical.
