Public bug reported:
Problem: totem is unable to play .avi and .mp4. works fine with .webm. Same
videos are played successfully by VLC media player. totem does not crash, but
just remains with a black screen.
Another symptom (of same problem?) is avi and mp4 thumbnails are not resolved
in images.
I found the problem with an installation from daily 20170807 and have the same
problem with daily 20170815.
How to reproduce problem: try open a .avi or .mp4 (with videos/totem) results
in a black screen. Here the output starting it from terminal:
