Seems clutter-gst is now broken for the currently released version of gstreamer-vaapi. gstreamer-vaapi from git doesn't crash.

Please send this upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ .

Uninstall gst-vaapi as a workaround.

Does recompiling gstreamer-vaapi work also?
Comment by Adria Arrufat (swiftscythe) - Thursday, 25 July 2013, 14:51 GMT
Yes! I've just rebuild gst-vaapi and I no longer have this issue.

Thanks for your suggestion :)

Rebuilding gst-vaapi 0.5.5.1 does not work here. It has to be git master.

This seems related to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35952

I rebuilt gst-vaapi from git (1291.73323ba) and now totem will start without crashing, but about half of the h264 videos I try to play with it only have sound and display either a black screen or a color with flashing vertical and horizontal lines near the left and top edges. All of those videos will play find in mplayer with -vo vaapi and I can't find any pattern to which ones do or don't work. The ones that do play work great with very low cpu usage.

Here's the PKGBUILD I made for build from git in case anyone else wants to try it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gstreamer-vaapi-git/

gst-vaapi has been upgraded a couple of times since this report, is this fixed or not?
