Fails to play a video which VLC can play, and that totem/gstreamer in previous Ubuntu versions could play

[Max Bowsher]

totem/gstreamer in precise fails to play a video file which VLC in precise plays fine, and I believe I've played the same file in totem/gstreamer in older Ubuntu releases fine too.

The symptoms of the failure are the totem properties declaring the video size to be 0x0 and neither audio nor video appearing.

The file in question may be downloaded with:
youtube-dl -f 18 lk5_OSsawz4
