I think this is is part of gstreamer1.0-plugins-good. That's so standard, that I'm guessing the gstreamer plugin cache is corrupt.

Please run:
rm -f ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.*.bin

then try again. Please report back.

Hi,
I did it, but there is no change.
Sorry.

Comment 3 Olav Vitters 2015-05-20 14:45:27 CEST

Is this any video file? I watched various *.mkv video files yesterday without any error message.

Could you try creating a new user and watch a video using that account?

The result *was* the same, but :
When i installed Mageia 5 RC, i didn't format my /home.
Removing the old conf files about Totem and Gstreamer (0.1 & 1.0) in my home solved the problem.

Sorry for the noise, and thank you for the help.

Comment 5 Samuel Verschelde 2015-05-20 20:31:22 CEST

One question we could ask ourselves is whether other users can be affected too after they upgrade to Mageia 5 keeping their home.

Comment 6 Olav Vitters 2015-05-20 21:18:07 CEST

Yeah, I still like to figure out what caused this. It's solved for you, but it shouldn't have happened. It's not noise at all, you shouldn't have had the issue!

Comment 7 J-Jacques Audemard 2015-05-20 22:46:55 CEST

So, happy to have made my contribution.

Comment 8 Nic Baxter 2016-01-04 03:12:57 CET

Should this be closed now? Is it likely upgrades are finished?

I didn't hear any other complaints. Not that I really keep an eye on them. But think we can close this. Can easily open another bugreport.
