[Bug 81993] Totem stops playing halfway through the playlist

[Vassilis Pandis]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

This is on current feisty with 2.17.5-0ubuntu5 . I go to a directory,
select a bunch of .mp3s to play. They play correctly. After track 1
finishes, track 2 begins etc. . Randomly (i.e. not after a certain
number of tracks) totem will pause and will not play the next track.
Running totem from the commandline gives:

pandis at pandis-laptop:~/music/kokos/mora sti fotia$ totem --debug *
** Message: Couldn't initialize lirc.


(totem:9453): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 
Trying to dispose object "video-sink", but it still has a parent "vbin".
You need to let the parent manage the object instead of unreffing the object directly.

<Lots of identical gstreamer warnings>


The problem does not seem to depend on the specific mp3s. I have not tried other formats. Totem does not crash and selecting the next track and hitting play always succeeds. Still though, it's a (admittedly minor) inconvenience.
