The Audio/Video tab in file properties is not working

[Manuel Teira]

Right click on a mp3 file, choose properties, click on the Audio/Video tab.

You will get an error message saying:

"There was an error trying to create the view named 'Audio/Video': System
exception: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0

Starting on a terminal:
/usr/lib/totem/totem-properties-page

and then firing the properties of an mp3 file, you get on the terminal:
(totem-properties-page:6612): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gtype.c: line 2254

could you try to apt-get install --reinstall totem-gstreamer ? Does it help ?

[Manuel Teira (manuel-teira)]

No. It doesn't help. The result is the same as before reinstalling totem-gstreamer.
Thanks.

I've forwarded the bug upstream:

Was this bug closed in error? I think it should be open and UPSTREAM

oups, yes you are right, I have picked the wrong item, thanks for noticing

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

fixed in the CVS

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

this should be fixed with this upload:

 totem (0.101-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release:
     - rise the controls when in fullscreen and a remote's button is pressed.
     - remove files from the playlist that are on a volume that's
       getting removed.
     - use GTK+ 2.6 widgets, features and icons.
     - port the Nautilus property pages to the GNOME 2.8 API (Hoary: #1453).
     - install the playlist parser as a library.
