Comment 6 for bug 633009

Though the Quicktime test is no longer included on whitelists, it still exhibits this problem; for the browser plugin to be able to play the .mov file, it's needed to have the gstreamer ffmpeg plugins installed.

One way to avoid running the test if the system doesn't have the approprite plugins in place, would be to add a requires to the job:

plugin: manual
name: software/firefox-totem
depends: software/firefox
requires: package.name == 'firefox' and package.name == 'gstreamer-0.10-ffmpeg'

However, I do notice that recent versions of the test specifically state:

"Note: this may require installing additional software to successfully complete."

The gstreamer-0.10-ffmpeg is valid on Quantal as of today (and Precise, obviously). However, things are bound to change on Quantal, something to keep in mind.

Since we know what we need to do to fix this, I'll mark as Triaged.
