RHBA-2009:1288 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated totem packages that fix various bugs are now available.

Description

The totem packages contain a movie player that uses GStreamer to play back
films and music.

This updated package provides the following bug fixes and enhancements:

• the NarrowSpace browser plugin for Firefox advertized itself as QuickTime

7.0. Because the current version of QuickTime is 7.6, some websites require
versions of QuickTime newer than 7.0. Previously, when visiting such a
site, content would not be available to Firefox with the NarrowSpace
plugin. NarrowSpace now advertizes itself as QuickTime 7.2, allowing
Firefox to access content on a greater number of websites. (BZ#483122)

• the totem packages place files in the /usr/include/totem and

/usr/include/totem/1 directories but previously, did not list those
directories for creation. These directories would therefore be created
during the installation process, but would remain unowned. The directories
are now listed for creation and are therefore owned by the package. (BZ#481816)

• previously, the totem packages were only built against the latest

gstreamer plugin base. The totem packages are now built against the latest
gstreamer plugins from the "good" set as well, ensuring the widest
multimedia support from high-quality, freely-licensed plugins. (BZ#450108)

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
