Bug Description

Since three days or so Totem stopped playing youtube videos, using the youtube plugin.
Console shows the following problem:
** Message: Error: GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error.

Maybe an update has broken something, I actually have no idea...

I can confirm this bug, however with the difference that I do not seem to get a gstreamer error message in the system log.

I have also tried updating with todays gstreamer updates, but to no avail.

(KK RC + latest updates)

Scratch the two above; some video work, some don't. Sorry.

Actually Totem should not need an swf decoder at all, as it's using the .mp4 files from youtube.
Maybe Youtube itself has changed something?
