Cannot reproduce it here, but despite no gstreamer-bad the video plays
normally. Maybe I have another package that satisfies that, I'll
investigate further.

Title:
  totem cannot install codecs via packagekit

Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in totem package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  While attempting to play a video on Ubuntu noble desktop for raspberry
  pi, totem attempts to locate a package for the H.264 codec but cannot
  find a service providing org.freedesktop.PackageKit. This is strange
  given that packagekit is installed, provides packagekit.service, which
  declares that it provides that name over DBus. Specifically, the
  following is output by totem:

      ** Message: 21:13:39.000: Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|totem|MPEG-4 AAC decoder|decoder-audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)4, level=(string)4, base-profile=(string)lc, profile=(string)lc (MPEG-4 AAC decoder)
      ** Message: 21:13:39.000: Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|totem|H.264 (Main Profile) decoder|decoder-video/x-h264, level=(string)3.1, profile=(string)main (H.264 (Main Profile) decoder)

  The packagekit.service is defined as:

      $ systemctl cat packagekit.service
      # /usr/lib/systemd/system/packagekit.service
      [Unit]
      Description=PackageKit Daemon
      # PK doesn't know how to do anything on ostree-managed systems;
      # currently the design is to have dedicated daemons like
      # eos-updater and rpm-ostree, and gnome-software talks to those.
      ConditionPathExists=!/run/ostree-booted
      Wants=network-online.target
      
      [Service]
      Type=dbus
      BusName=org.freedesktop.PackageKit
      User=root
      ExecStart=/usr/libexec/packagekitd

  And just to demonstrate packagekit is actually running:

      $ systemctl status packagekit.service
      ● packagekit.service - PackageKit Daemon
