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?

  • 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?

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.
