Totem plugins written in the vala language can not be compiled using the current Fedora 16 vala version. This problem has been tracked upstream in totem: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662148 and in vala: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658006 The problem should be solved by updating the vala compiler to 0.14.1.

vala-0.14.2-1.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/vala-0.14.2-1.fc16
Sorry for the delay, I was still waiting incoming vala-0.14.1 update on my system, and did not notices I did my own package for the update. So, I tested it an it works as expected, so bug solved for me with the 0.14.1 release (0.14.2 should be ok also).
No problem. I actually meant to land the 0.14.1 update first before pushing 0.14.2, but alas Bodhi immediately obsoletes the earlier update even though I didn't push 0.14.2 to testing. Do leave karma on the update request; a +3 would get it pushed to stable updates, otherwise it'll take a week.
vala-0.14.2-1.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
