Bug Description

If you're trying to play multiple videos files you have to open them from the "open" dialogue within totem - selecting them in nautilus and then opening doesn't work. This used to work in jaunty with totem-xine, but not totem, but even though I have the totem-xine package installed I don't seem to have the option to use to totem-xine:

mthaddon@hurlyburly:~$ which totem-xine
mthaddon@hurlyburly:~$ which totem
/usr/bin/totem
mthaddon@hurlyburly:~$ dpkg -l | grep totem
ii libtotem-plparser12 2.28.1-1 Totem Playlist Parser library - runtime files

I'm not sure if you're saying this bug is invalid or not. Since totem-xine is deprecated, I think the bug still applies to totem.

if i understand corrently, what you're seeing is:

- select multiple audio files with nautilus
- right click -> open with movie player
- the files are added to the playlist and the first one is played

what happened is that after the first file ends the second and the rest is not played at all, is that what you're facing there?

Pedro, that's correct, except I'm talking about video files instead of audio files.

Hello Tom, good, i did managed to reproduce the issue at that time with audio files so probably the videos had the same issue, but after the latest totem update i cannot reproduce the issue anymore at least with totem-gstreamer, totem-xine is deprecated as Sebastien said, could you reproduce the same with latest totem-gstreamer there? if so could you attach a gstreamer log by running totem as: GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 GST_DEBUG=*:5 totem &> totem-debug.txt ; compress and attach that resulting file to the report? Thanks in advance.

Which version do you have? And which one were you able to reproduce it
with?

I am still able to reproduce the issue with both movie and music files.

I updated to this version, but now totem crashes immediately if I try to
open any video. If I run totem and then drag a video file into the
playlist I get:

mthaddon@hurlyburly:~/bin$ totem

(totem:12488): Gtk-WARNING **: /build/buildd/gtk
+2.0-2.18.3/gtk/gtkliststore.c:797: Invalid column number 6 added to

I've update to lucid. Am using totem 2.29.2-0ubuntu2 and am still seeing this issue. If I run "totem MVI_1487.AVI MVI_1490.AVI" from the command line it works fine. If I select both files and run then from Nautilus using totem, I only get one file in the playlist.

There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem seems to have been fixed with some of the updates.

I've tested it on a currently supported Ubuntu version and couldn't reproduce.

Using totem 3.32 and GNOME Nautilus 3.32.1.

If you select multiple video files in nautilus and select "Open with Movie Player" only the last one will be played. In the previous version of Totem, all of them were played, one after the other.
