Title: totem crashes when attempting to play mp4 files [gst_buffer_get_meta: assertion 'buffer != NULL' failed] Status in totem package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I can add and display a directory of .mp4 files in totem but when attempting to play any of them totem will crash. An attempt to restart totem fail with the window not appearing at all. After several further attempts to restart totem I find that I can add an .mp4 file but any attempt to play it results in sometimes the totem window not appearing at all, sometimes totem starts and I can navigate to a local file and sometimes I see the error "The specified move could not be found" as soon as totem's window is displayed. In other words, the result of attempting to play an .mp4 file is unpredictable after the initial crash.
