Bug Description
Hello.
Today (20.8.2009) I noticed that when I try to play some videos in Totem from youtube.com using plug-in, Totem reports this error to console:
** (totem:6498): DEBUG: Init of Python module
** (totem:6498): DEBUG: Registering Python plugin instance: BBCViewer+
** (totem:6498): DEBUG: Creating object of type BBCViewer+

** Message: Error: "http://
gstsouphttpsrc.
404 Not Found
But when I try to play this video using Youtube flash player in web browser, it's OK. It is possible that the programmers have changed the shape of the youtube web address.

I can confirm this bug on all of my Ubuntus.: 2 9.04s and one 8.04. There is a slight difference in the error message
"Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file" on 9.04 and
"Could not open location" on 8.04
If totem is launched from the terminal I get a similar to the reporter's message.
A couple more things to mention: url_in_ quotes"
1) It appears to be a recent problem, since I just recently noted this totem plugin and started advertising it to my friends when installing Ubuntu on their computers.
2) Totem finds videos in the search window with the right urls and shows their previews
3) urls are correctly fetched, since one can copy them (from the search window) and use the command
mplayer "copied_
I think that during some update (totems or related) urls are not handled correctly anymore (like it wont work without quotes with mplayer )
