Details

The totem-plugin package in Testing doesn't work with totem, only with totem-xine. If you try to use it with the GStreamer 0.10 version of Totem, things won't play; running your browser from the console will produce a message to the effect that the plugin needs the Xine library.

Perhaps there should be two builds of the plugin, totem-plugin and totem-xine-plugin?
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Fixed, totem-plugin doesn't depend on a specific backend anymore. It plays fine with both xine and gstreamer, though gstreamer seems to have problems with the quicktime trailers I tried.

Uh oh, this is worse than I thought at first.

First of all, totem-xine from Testing doesn't provide totem, so installing totem-plugin with totem-xine requires you to use -Sd.

Second, and much worse, the plugin doesn't work at all with totem-xine either, and produces no console output.

I'll test this with Epiphany in a moment, but I suspect the worst here.

Nope, doesn't work in Epiphany either, not surprisingly. In addition, there's something going on here that causes 'about:plugins' to become inaccessible when totem-plugin is installed. Perhaps the package is missing some crucial files or something?

about:plugins doesn't work on galeon, epiphany or whatever browser uses xulrunner, because the about:plugins HTML page isn't in the xulrunner chrome jarfile.

I'll take a look at this plugins stuff. It used to work with 1.2.x fine, but things could be different now.
