[Bug 1719077] Re: Unable to find codecs to play videos

[Doug McMahon]

Just tried latest image updated.
See no issue with local files that gst supports
As far as channels the guardian one is broken, apple trailers is ok

Ex.
guardian - 
$ totem

(totem:1847): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_load_from_file: assertion 'file != NULL' failed
** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|totem|text/html decoder|decoder-text/html (text/html decoder)

apple-trailers
$ totem
