Hi,

it's been a while now that my Ubuntu can't properly play videos on Totem.

This is what I get when I have an error that doesn't play the video at all

totem '/home/borninbronx/Videos/bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal_cut.mp4' 

(totem:433424): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 11:23:55.805: gst_buffer_get_meta: assertion 'buffer != NULL' failed

[...]

(totem:433424): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 11:23:57.914: gst_buffer_get_meta: assertion 'buffer != NULL' failed

(totem:433424): Grilo-CRITICAL **: 11:23:58.655: grl_log_valist: assertion 'domain' failed

I don't think it's an hardware issue because VLC play them no problem.

When I use screencast it looses lot of frames and basically only record 2-3 frames in 1 minute video. I'm not sure if those are related issues.

I've all gstreamer stuff installed
