Bug Description

If I insert a DVD It works fine, automounts and autoplays (thanks :) (which makes me think it isn't because I am experiencing this(https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/41312) bug ), but if I close totem and re-open it I _cannot_ play the DVD from the menus, I get a message telling me the codec is unsupported.

Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not have the
appropriate plugins to handle it.

(and a request to install the codec)

This issue seems to be mentioned here
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/41335

but that bug report is about something different, as far as I see (or at least, it is about 2 issues)

Thanks for your bug. Do you use totem-gstreamer or totem-xine? That might be a duplicate of bug #21286 or bug #24766 or bug #27951 or bug #32004 ...

using totem-gstreamer (pretty much fresh install).

I don't think it is a duplicate of the other bugs because (correct me if I'm wrong) they all describe issues with being unable to play DVDs at all - this seems less serious, as we can play them if we start totem from the command line, but just not from the menu.

I should note that I also have bug #51164 on the computer - which I should have mentioned in the original report

This issue is same as Bug #41335
The problem mentioned in Bug #41335 about menus and subtitles is a known one since DVD backend is not completely ported from GStreamer 0.8 to 0.10.
