Yesterday my desktop PC was running Fedora 17 and I was able to watch
all kinds of video files using totem. This morning I used FedUp to
upgrade the PC to Fedora 18 and since then I haven't found a video
file that totem can play successfully. I always get an error message
that says:

  Videos requires[sic] additional plugins for this operation

  The following plugins are required:

  * MPEG Video decoder
  * MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder

  Do you want to search for these now?

  [Cancel] [Search]

I've tried pressing the search button but it just says that it can't
find the required plugins.

It looks to me like I have fc18 versions of all of the relevant RPMs

  $ rpm -qa | grep -i gstreamer
  gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.13-5.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.0.4-1.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.31-5.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.0.4-1.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.23-2.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.36-3.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer-rtsp-0.10.8-3.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer1-1.0.4-1.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.19-5.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-13.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.0.4-1.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer-python-0.10.22-3.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer-tools-0.10.36-2.fc18.x86_64
  phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.6.2-2.fc18.x86_64
  PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.8.7-1.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer-0.10.36-2.fc18.x86_64
  gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras-0.10.23-13.fc18.x86_64

All of which leads me to two questions.

1/ How can I get back the ability to play videos?
2/ How did the FedUp upgrade manage to break this?

Please let me know if you need any more information or if there's a
more useful place for me to report this issue.

Cheers,

Dave...
