[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 851481] [NEW] totem and banshee prompt for i386 plugin to play QT on 64 bit system

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When I try and play some QT files, both totem and banshee decide they
haven't got an appropriate codec (event though I have the gstreamer
good, bad, and ugly plugins installed). When I allow them to search for
a suitable plugin, they suggest 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386' (and I
do have the 64 bit version of gstreamer0.10-plugins-good installed).

If run from the command line, the message is:

** Message: Error: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.
gstdecodebin2.c(3233): gst_decode_bin_expose (): /GstPlayBin2:play/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20:
no suitable plugins found

** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Quicktime demuxer
|decoder-video/quicktime, variant=(string)iso (Quicktime demuxer)

At the moment, clicking on Install does absolutely nothing, but when
this has happened in the past, clicking on Install warns that it will
remove most of Ubuntu in order to install the i386 plugin.

A file that demonstrates this problem is at:
http://http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/video/2011/sep/15/bill-bailey-
gary-numan-cars-video - it works fine in Firefox, but if I download it
to the desktop (eg with the firefox Download YouTube videos plugin) and
try to play in totem, I hit this bug.

VLC plays the files just fine.
