Hi.

I have exacly the same issue.

Running 9.04 amd64 which was upgraded from 8.10 amd64. It worked fine in 8.10 and now does not in 9.04.

I have all the gstreamer plugins installed (good,bad,ugly,gnolin etc) and libdvdcss, and previously I could drag an ISO to the totem window for it to play. Then with the 8.10 release (I think) I could right click an ISO and play it in totem, as well as play an ISO over an SSH link, which was great.

Now in Ubuntu 9.04 it seems playing ISO is indeed broken. I start it from terminal and do not get any errors when it fails to play the DVD. I do not think that this issue should be simply fobbed off to upstream. There are other grave packaging errors with totem in Ubuntu 9.04, such as the upnp mess. It is not unlikely that this is also an Ubuntu bug and not an upstream. If we just forward this to upstream it's not going to go anywhere. It makes more sense that Canonical looks at it first to decide if it is upstream or not rather than just passing the buck immediately.
