Play youtube videos in Totem movie player

Question

Whn I try to play youtube video in Totem I get this error:

No supported stream was found. You might need to allow more transport protocols or may otherwise be missing the right GStreamer RTSP extension plugin.

enter image description here

I have all Totem plugins installed including

Plugins for the Totem media player
GStreamer coded installer
GStreamer extra plugins

Any idea?

we need more information: what exactly did you do to play the video? Did you download the youtube video and then opened the file? Or did you give an address like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bOwyGYTMv8? Or did you use the youtube plugin? — xubuntix, Nov 14 '11 at 12:53
what happens if you open totem in a console? do you get another error? — Alvar, Nov 14 '11 at 14:36
How do you mean? Just start it from console and try to play youtube video, or start another instance after trying to play video? Which command? — umpirsky, Nov 15 '11 at 07:12

In Software Center:

Look for "movie player"
Select "Movie Player"
Click on "More Info"
Scroll down and check the "Add-ons" section
Make sure that you have installed at least:
- Plugins for the Totem media player
- GStreamer coded installer
- GStreamer extra plugins

I hope this helps.

Yes, I have all plugins installed. That's not the reason for this error. But thanks for trying anyway. – umpirsky Nov 14 '11 at 14:32
