Bug Description
Binary package hint: totem
I'm using Totem with the gstreamer backend on Ubuntu intrepid synched to the repos as of today 08/08/08. When I need to associate video footage to open with Media Player by right clicking the file and selecting open with another application, a user is presented with two confusing elements for Movie Player. The first is Movie Player, the second is Movie Player (Gstreamer).
This is not only confusing for a user, but it's also unnecessary for the user to make a choice. I need Totem to use the gstreamer back end as without it, it has no demuxers and decoders to play anything. It is also confusing because even when Movie Player is selected instead of the gstreamer variant, Totem's help about shows that gstreamer is in fact being used as the backend anyway.
thank you for your bug report, don't install totem-xine if you don't want to have totem-gstreamer and totem-xine listed? what do you suggest exactly there?
