I think I had the same problem. Ever since updating to Oneiric I hadn't been able to view any videopodcasts (m4v) in Banshee. Apparently it's related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/856988 The solution provided there by user aortega [rm -r ~/.gstreamer-0.10] resolved this for me. :)
