[Bug 201406] [NEW] Totem-mozilla always overrides VLC plugin in Firefox

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Binary package hint: totem

It seems that totem-mozilla (2.22.0-0ubuntu1) can now identify as the
vlc plugin for Firefox. Which is nice if you don't want to install that
VLC plugin separately.

However, if you do want to use the VLC plugin for content that request
it (e.g. http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/content/9602?inPopup=true) Totem
will always override it, even if it is installed.

There should be some routine checking for the presence of that VLC
plugin (might also affect the Realplayer plugin, because Totem handles
that, as well) and disabling its VLC-emulating capabilities, if a native
VLC plugin is found. Because if it's there, there has to be a reason for
it...
