Hmm, some interesting updates here. Firstly, here's the output from totem when run with "G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all":

Secondly, the *first* time I ran totem, it additionally reported: double free or corruption (out) Aborted (core dumped) Unfortunately, I wasn't capturing stderr at that point and no subsequent run reported the same crash. apport obviously popped up on that core dump and I opted to report the error, which can found under the following OOPS: https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/927e463e-c15b-11ec-8afa-fa163e993415 I should also note (anecdotally) that the source_totem.py hook in apport also reported an error in syslog: Apr 21 11:12:33

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1969512 Title: totem unable to play bbb mp4: "The specified movie could not be found" Status in Totem: Unknown Status in totem package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: As part of our ISO testing for the Pi desktop, we attempt to play https://archive.org/download/BigBuckBunny_124/Content/big_buck_bunny_720p_surround.mp4 with the shipped totem video player. Unfortunately, on the current Jammy image, totem simply reports "The specified movie could not be found" when attempting to play the file (the exit code is 0, no other errors are reported at the command line). I've attempted to install a few gstreamer codecs, in case that might've been the issue (this was necessary on some older versions), but neither gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, nor gstreamer1.0-libav made any difference. Just to ensure the video file was intact and playable, I then installed vlc from the archive, which played the video happily.
