Description of problem: New install of Fedora 25, straight from the Live USB key. With gstreamer1 and gstreamer1-plugins-base from fedora-updates — 1.10.0-1.fc25 — I cannot use Totem with any media file. How reproducible: Always reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Videos/totem (both from the Shell and from the terminal) 2. Be greeted by a message dialog that says to check the installation because of missing basic plugins 3. [on the terminal] See the following warning messages: ** (totem:7673): WARNING **: Element 'playbin' is missing, verify your installation ** (totem:7673): WARNING **: Element 'scaletempo' is missing, verify your installation ** (totem:7673): WARNING **: Element 'autoaudiosink' is missing, verify your installation (totem:7673): Gtk-WARNING **: A floating object was finalized. This means that someone called g_object_unref() on an object that had only a floating reference; the initial floating reference is not owned by anyone and must be removed with g_object_ref_sink(). Additional info: Disabling the fedora-updates repository, and downgrading gstreamer1 and gstreamer1-plugins-base to 1.9.2-3.fc25, I can play audio and video files.
My guess is that GStreamer registry cache is broken. Try running gst-inspect-1.0 on each of those plugins to start with. They won't be there. Remove ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin (or move it aside) and try again and either it's going to work, or you'll why there are errors. FWIW, works fine with: gstreamer1-1.10.0-1.fc25.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.10.0-1.fc25.x86_64 totem-3.22.0-1.fc25.x86_64 for me.
Re-installing gstreamer1 and plugins from fedora-updates works again, so this seems to be an issue for new installations from a pre-release compose. I guess the issue can be closed.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
