Description Paul Menzel 2012-10-30 15:32:16 UTC 
Using Totem 3.4.2-1 from Debian Sid/unstable, having it running, and then wanting to open a different file (from a different folder like `/tmp`),

    $ cd /tmp
    $ totem some-file.webm

it shows an error that it cannot find the resource/location and the following is printed to the terminal.

    ** Message: Error: Ressource nicht gefunden.
    gstfilesrc.c(1042): gst_file_src_start (): /GstPlayBin2:play/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstFileSrc:source:
No such file "/home/joey/some-file.webm"

Judging from the error message, it looks like it should get passed the absolute location/URI as otherwise it things it is the current working directory, in which the first instance of Totem was started from.
