I've now installed the -dbg packages in an attempt to get a proper
stacktrace (as requested by seb128); unfortunately try as I might I've
been unable to re-create the crash I experienced a couple of weeks ago.
Totem still fails to play anything (same message, same debug output as
previously reported), but no crashes.

One thing I have noted, after retrying on a freshly flashed card is that
using gst-launch directly fails initially, complaining that it's lacking
the AAC codec (perhaps I should amend the ISO test case to use an OGG
instead -- though I have a feeling this *used* to work, maybe it
prompted to install the necessary codec). Still, installing
gstreamer1.0-libav fixes this and gst-launch then happily plays the
video (and audio), whilst totem still fails with the aforementioned
message.

I'll keep trying to get a proper stacktrace, but at this point I'd say
it's likely unrelated to totem's failure to play the video (given
there's evidently no issue with gstreamer itself playing the video
otherwise, and totem still fails to play the video even when no crash
occurs).

Title:
  Totem unable to play video: "The specified movie could not be found"

Status in Totem:
  Unknown
Status in totem package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As part of our ISO testing for the Pi desktop, we attempt to play
  
https://archive.org/download/BigBuckBunny_124/Content/big_buck_bunny_720p_surround.mp4
  with the shipped totem video player. Unfortunately, on the current
  Jammy image, totem simply reports "The specified movie could not be
  found" when attempting to play the file (the exit code is 0, no other
  errors are reported at the command line).

  I've attempted to install a few gstreamer codecs, in case that
  might've been the issue (this was necessary on some older versions),
  but neither gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, nor gstreamer1.0-libav made any
  difference. Just to ensure the video file was intact and playable, I
  then installed vlc from the archive, which played the video happily.
