Title: totem cannot play quicktime file after upgrade to oneiric Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Totem can't play quicktime files on a PC upgraded from natty to oneiric. On a VM with oneiric installed from scratch, however, totem can play the same files, so it seems to be a configuration error. Both the PC and VM run 64 bit oneiric, have the same kernel version, and both have ia32 libs installed A sample file that fails to play can be found in comment 5 of bug #851481. On the PC that fails to play the files, totem prompts to install the plugin for 'Quicktime demuxer' but then gnome-codec-install can't find a suitable plugin. On the VM that *can* play the files, totem prompted to install the same plugin and gnome-codec-install found and installed gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad. (These are both already installed on the PC that cannot play the files.) The output from gst-launch-0.10 uridecodebin=file:///<file in question> is: Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is PREROLLING ... WARNING: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: No decoder available for type 'video/quicktime, variant=(string)iso'.

Setting pipeline to NULL ... Freeing pipeline ... I have tried reinstalling all the installed gstreamer packages as well totem, but to no avail. How does gstreamer match plugins against the video type, eg 'video/quicktime, variant=(string)iso'?
