Lars said he would take a look at this soon - looks to me (but I don't know the most about this stuff) like totem's code is failing to populate the traditional menubar but does for the gear menu - so there's a bug in totem too in addition to any indicator-appmenu bug.

This is a regression from Ubuntu 14.10 where playback of such files was working as expected. I tried this on multiple machines running 15.04 and with various media, mostly MKV videos but also AVI videos or simply DVDs. On Totem the expected functionality in the application menu is missing or the menu item is just empty. On VLC the menu items are present but always disabled.
