I have the same problem - at least the same symptoms as the OP when playing MP4
viedos with totem on wayland.
My video card is an ATI HD5850 using the radeon driver.
The video will play in totem on xorg. It will also play on wayland with mpv or
vlc.
The only warning I get from totem is:
(totem:7298): Gtk-WARNING **: Drawing a gadget with negative dimensions.
Did you forget to allocate a size? (node slider owner GtkScale)
but I'm not sure if it is relevant.
vainfo output:
$ vainfo

As I prefer totem over the other players, my current workaround is to fallback
to xorg.

Bug description:
when trying to play videos in Totum on AMD® E1-6010 apu with amd
radeon r2 graphics × 2 (Lenovo), the timer shows it's playing but
there is no video. After about 10 seconds I get the "Video is not
responding" "what do you want to do" "wait/force close" window. the
only way to close it is to force it closed. Same result with MP4 and
FLV videos.
totum version= 3.26.0-0ubuntu1
Ubuntu 17.10
