You might try and replace totem with any other decent player (mplayer
for example).
I found this is the best way to get rid of those stupid messages that
"totem couldn't play the selected file", which I received anytime I
tried to play any media file.


You may find mplayer (and also many many other useful things) on
freshrpms.net
