Created attachment 186942 [details] Error message See image. This is unfortuatenly the only information I can provide. Will be happy to provide more if someone will advise what file to supply
Is this really with GStreamer 0.10.20? (which is ancient..) Could you run totem from a terminal/command line window like this: $ GST_DEBUG=*:5 totem 2>dbg.log ... wait for error, then exit totem ... $ gzip dbg.log (where '$' is the shell prompt) and attach the dbg.log.gz file to this bug report please.
Created attachment 186944 [details] bebug log Unfortunately CetOS doesn't provide more recent pacakges, so this is what I'm left with. Anything anyone can offer on how to fix myself, if that's possible for a non-programmer, will be appreciate.

I'm afraid we can't support almost 3-year old versions of GStreamer. Best to file a bug with CentOS then. This is the underlying problem: WARN alsa pcm_hw.c:1321:snd_pcm_hw_open:alsalib error: open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: No such file or directory WARN alsa pcm_dmix.c:1008:snd_pcm_dmix_open:alsalib error: unable to open slave WARN alsa gstalsasink.c:697:gst_alsasink_open:<autoaudiosink0-actual-sink-alsa> error: Could not open audio device for playback. WARN alsa gstalsasink.c:697:gst_alsasink_open:<autoaudiosink0-actual-sink-alsa> error: Playback open error on device 'default': No such file or directory Which is ultimately a distro problem (not setting up a default device). You can see if there's a gnome-sound-properties program to select a specific audio device. The problem with the rubbish error message has been fixed ages ago (in gst-plugins-good). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 471364 ***
