Comment 7 for bug 1698287

Without sounding too defeated, I think it might be a good idea for us to not use the patch in comment #5 any time soon. The reason is that while the patch is correct, it triggers bigger issues in clutter-gst. And that starts to make me think I'm going too deep down this rabbit hole.

It probably doesn't make sense to fix gstreamer/clutter stuff if it's too time consuming, when we already know gstreamer lacks a variety of working demuxers, and is already so unpopular that it's not part of the long term plan anyway (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntelQuickSyncVideo).

The only real problem is that 'totem' is still our default video player. And if clutter-gst is a mandatory requirement for that then I either need to not give up yet, or we should consider changing default video players in future (ideally to something that's more purely FFmpeg instead of GStreamer).
