I actually use mplayer. Though solely because I can configure the amount
of seconds the left+right keys jumps forward/backward.

Ah, that automatic install was always broken the few times I tried it. I
can ask upstream if it can install everything in one go.
I guess the big difference is:
Totem: loads of gstreamer subpackages, some in tainted, some not
VLC: 2 packages, one in tainted, one not
In which case the loads of subpackages is actually detrimental.

I'll at least file a bug upstream.

Did the installation actually work for you? For me it was always
completely broken. Maybe that was just a broken packagekit, I haven't
tried in a while. Also, I installed loads of gstreamer 1.0 subpackages
and now it finally seems to work.

In 3.8, Totem will be renamed to Videos and it'll be more integrated and
so on, so I want to focus on making it work. Plus figure out how to
customize the left/right arrow :)
