I recently experienced an issue with both Totem and VLC crashing (both either when queuing up multiple videos in their respective interfaces or disabling subtitles), which seems to be a result of gstreamer.

[z3z (z3z)]

Plugged in a USB stick with some video files and got this error.

[Michael Foord (mfoord)]

I had this whilst navigating away from a folder containing video media. The video was in the process of being copied, so it's possible totem tried to thumbnail an incomplete video file.

[Juan Montoya (th3pr0ph3t)]

The annoying part is that the error message keeps on popping up everytime I start my computer.

[Sebastian (sebastianhaselbeck)]

happens when copying, but i think it results from the thumbnail generation for which gstreamer needs to play the vid for just a second
