Binary package hint: totem

In the past totem couldn't properly detect HDV video (prior to 9.10) but could play it fine if you manually installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, after installing the other codecs it recommended. Since 9.10 it appears it can properly detect HDV video but seems to have no clue the recommendations it gave were enough to play it and complains every time you try to play a file. You can then ignore the message and it will play, but it is annoying that it pops up for every file.

Installs gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

Still does not work.

If you ignore the no plugins found on 9.10 it will then play ok.

If you ignore the no plugins found on 10.04 it will then play ok, but seems a bit crashy.
