Affects: totem (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
H264 video files do play in Totem, but as soon as you start seeking in
the vid with the seek slider, Totem will crash.

Example: http://www.own-age.com/vids/mirrors.aspx?id=6212 (the download
page for the Get Quaked 3 movie, choose one of the last two download
links for the medium quality H264 file I had the problem with). I've
also tried out a lot of other files, anime fansubs in H264 mostly.

Only file which did not have the problem for me is this file: http://www
.own-age.com/vids/mirrors.aspx?id=7359 (choose the mov version). The
only difference with the other files I tried is that this video is small
in size, and is contained in mov instead of avi or mkv.

I only seem to be having these crashes when I start seeking in videos ecoded with H264, XviD en DivX encoded vids work fine, and Totem never crashed when I started seeking in those vids.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'gstreamer'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
