gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.13-7.fc11.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.12-2.fc11.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.15-4.fc11.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.25-1.fc11.x86_64Looks identical.

restarted FF, the Apple stuff worked.
Most likely this was the problem: probably totem-mozplugin was being picked instead of gecko-mediaplayer.

case. The user will always have to install them for himself.
You're right. What I meant is that, even if you install the codecs (which are automatically suggested if you try to watch a trailer), it won't work until you replace the default media player plugin for another one. That's one step further, it's not intuitive and shouldn't be necessary IMHO.
