Bug description:
  When I try to open a .mp4 file with Videos (totem), a dialog appears
  to install extra multimedia plugins. This dialog says "Python (v2.7)
  requires to install plugins to play files of the following types".
  Instead, the dialog should refer to the Videos application. For
  example: "Videos requires to install…"
