Show playback errors.

That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/89072 "Binary package hint: totem totem-mozilla 2.17.92-0ubuntu1 don't ask to install codecs like totem. ..."
We removed the popups in 2.17.x, so it doesn't ask anything indeed...
That seems unusual. Was doing automatic codec installation (as totem does on Ubuntu Feisty) considered too intrusive for the plugin? It seems a shame give that people would be more likely to encounter a codec that needs installing while browsing today's non-flash videos...
Automatic codec installation was also filed as bug 484947. The playback errors not showing is a dupe of 457337. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 457337 ***
