Public bug reported: new install of ubuntu tried to play a video. didn't work. Gave some message about packages. someone in the help channel said it was because I installed ubuntu without restricted extras. I tried to launch totem, but totem wouldn't even open without saying stuff about needed software.
to fix this bug, totem should at least give an intelligent error message. I shouldn't have to talk to a developer to figure out why totem won't launch.
