Comment 32 for bug 108623

Observed annoying with totem-gstreamer 2.28.2-0ubuntu3, whether in the browser plugin or natively in Totem. I haven't fiddled with any of the gconf settings, I did go in and tell Totem I have "1.5Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN" (which is true, 1.5mbit/s AT&T DSL - though that does mean it craps out just shy of a full 1.5mbits after PPP and line overhead). I could go in and poke at it, but I shouldn't really have to, right?

More annoying is the failure to cache, combined with a failure to seek properly [either refuses to seek back at all or jumps back to 0:00], which I've been hunting for the (surely-existing) bug for.

Seen with http://static.tvpaint.com/community/gallery/content/Filmakademie_Urs_Trailer.mp4 and other sample content on that site if anyone's looking for more test cases.

@#29: mplayer has been the de-facto I-just-want-it-to-work-on-UNIX player for a while (and still has major performance advantages on sub-GHz systems), but gstreamer and Totem are supposed to offer GNOME the conveniences DirectShow and Quicktime do for the Other Major Platforms. So it'd be nice if they actually functioned properly.
