Happens to me also with a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04LTS. Also HW acceleration does not work on Totem (choppy playback), not a problem of gstreamer as gst-play plays videos just fine.

Did you forget to allocate a size? (node slider owner GtkScale) Status in totem package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am running Ubuntu 20.04 beta amd64 Desktop from the liveCD ISO. Whenever I run totem from a shell window to play a video, I get on stderr: "(totem:13002): Gtk-WARNING **: 07:50:52.916: Drawing a gadget with negative dimensions. Did you forget to allocate a size? (node slider owner GtkScale)" This has also been happening in totem in Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS for years. I was shocked when I first ran it on 20.04 that apparently nobody else noticed this error. It happens every single time I run totem, as soon as it actually opens a video and starts playing it. For example, I made a screencast for a few seconds (with Ctl-Alt- Shift-R) and then played it from "totem ~/Videos/Screencast*.webm", and this error came out on stderr. If I just run "totem &" the error doesn't come out -- until I select a video from totem's interface. Once I pick one and play it, then the error comes out on the terminal screen where I typed the totem command. Is there supposed to be a slider for scaling the video? That would be a nice feature, but no slider appears, possibly due to this bug...
