[Bug 42333] Totem playlists look for files in home directory instead of playlist directory

[Pascal De Vuyst]

Public bug reported:

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


Description:
I'm using dapper 20060501
totem-xine 1.4.0-0ubuntu5

I have some videos on my desktop in ogg format.
I created a playlist of them in totem and saved this playlist to the desktop.
When I close totem and click on the playlist on my desktop I'm unable to play the videos. I'm getting this error:
Totem could not play 'file:///home/pascal/transparancy.ogg'.
The specified movie could not be found.
This error indicates that totem looks in /home/pascal while it should look in /home/pascal/Desktop.
I'm using totem-xine but I have the same error with totem-gstreamer too.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download a few videos (e.g. mpg or ogg from http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/) and save them on the desktop (in my case /home/pascal/Desktop).
2. Open these videos with totem and create a playlist of them.
3. Save the playlist on the desktop.
4. Close totem.
5. Click the playlist on the desktop.
