Bug 101226

Totem can't play media files, if gstreamer1.0-vaapi is installed. If I purge gstreamer1.0-vaapi, it plays all the media files, but of course, the CPU spikes high as much as 50%. Please help me how I can play media files with proper video acceleration (i.e., with gstreamer1.0-vaapi installed).

FYI, my system is Debian Testing (Stretch), up-to-date to this date.

The gstreamer packages installed on my system are:

gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0
gstreamer1.0-clutter-3.0
gstreamer1.0-libav
gstreamer1.0-vaapi
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good
gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio
gstreamer1.0-x
libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0
libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0
libgstreamer1.0-0

Vaapi packages I've installed are:

libva-drm1
libva-wayland1
libva-x11-1
libva1
i965-va-driver

The Totem packages I've installed are:

libtotem-plparser-common
libtotem-plparser18
libtotem0
totem
totem-common

When I run totem in commandline, it shows:

manmath@debian:~/Windows/Videos/Movies$ totem Alexander_and_the_Terrible_Horrible.mp4
