** Description changed:

- 
  I'm using today's (April 18th) current daily
  
  ubu...@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:  Ubuntu 9.04
  Release:      9.04
  
  ##My Actions##
  Boot from a (non-persistent) USB stick created with today's daily CD
  Open Totem
  Select YouTube from the dropdown
  Search for "kitties" (or anything else, but what else could you want?)
  Double-click on the first result (aww...isn't the kitty cute?)
  "Search for suitable plugin?" dialogue appears.[1]
  Press "Search"
  
  [1]: Full text of "Search for suitable plugin?" dialogue:
  
  The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to
  install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for
  a plugin that supports the selected file?
  
  The search will also include software which is not officially supported.
  
  
  ##Expected result##
  
  Find the required plugins, list them and prompt me to install them. Warn
  me about potential legal issues and if I am accessing previously
  disabled repositories. After I confirm, install the plugins, then return
  to totem and play the video.
  
  
  ##Actual result##
  
  An error dialogue:
  
  No packages with the requested plugins found
  
  The requested plugins are:
  
  H.264 decoder
  MPEG-4 AAC decoder
  
  Press OK. Another error dialogue appears:
  An error occurred
  
  The playback of this movie requires the following decoders which are not
  installed:
  
  H.264 decoder
  MPEG-4 AAC decoder
  
  Double clicking on the video again (or other videos) doesn't search for
  plugins again, it just brings up the "An error has occured" dialogue.
  
  ##Solution##
  
  After enabling community maintained software through the Add/Remove
  Programs or Software Sources dialogues and restarting Totem, the same
  "Search for suitable plugin?" dialogue is displayed, but the search
  successfully finds the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10-plugins-
  bad packages. After selecting install, the "Confirm installation of
  restricted software" dialogue is displayed, then installation proceeds.
  After this, the videos play.
  
  Despite saying that "The search will also include software which is not
  officially supported." it appears that this does not in fact occur if
  the relevant repositories are disabled. This should be fixed.
  
  Please let me know if any further info is required.
