[Bug 25223] Re: totem stops after 2-3 seconds when firefox plays an embedded video

[Peter Garrett]

totem-xine-firefox-plugin either crashes immediately or tries to start and then crashes on the wmv trailers at
http://www.optusnet.com.au/movies/trailers

Using breezy I was able to play these in totem-xine by reading the
source code from the javascript (?) popup produced by the URLs and using
them directly in the location dialog for totem-xine, but in dapper the
crash is reproducible every time.

Attempting to use totem-gstreamer instead fails as well, with the
gstreamer0.10-pitfdll package installed.

dapper: dist-upgraded today
