I believe so, but since it's not an RPM I'd have to check the files one

by one. The latest codecs tarball on the Mplayer site is a couple of
years old so I doubt that's the problem.
AFAIK you only need to have all the gstreamer-plugins-* packages (and, of course, their dependencies). Here's what I have:
~ rpm -qa | grep gstreamer-plugins
gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.13-7.fc11.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.15-4.fc11.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.12-2.fc11.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.25-1.fc11.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-flumpegdemux-0.10.15-6.fc11.x86_64
(BTW I had to install some of them -- the "ugly" package IIRC -- by hand, dependencies were not being pulled automatically)
I just replaced totem-mozplugin with gecko-mediaplayer, and trailers are playing just fine again. This is good because there's a way out after all, but on the other hand this is bad for totem (and Fedora) since it means that default installations will fail to play the trailers (question: will this be the case for F12 as well?), and on the user's eyes it will be one of those cases where Fedora is "quite not there yet".
I just did some quick searching on Fedora bugzilla to see if this has already been filed as a totem or totem-mozplugin bug, but did not find anything. Does anyone know if it's already there? If it's not, developers have all the reasons not to have addressed it yet... :-(
