Description Ryan May 2009-11-11 20:34:34 UTC

When trying to use the youtube plugin to play a video (either through built in search or by giving it a url), I get the following message:

"GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error."

It appears there was a slight change on the YouTube servers, and it was fixed for 2.28 in the following commit references Gnome bug 600369:
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/totem/commit/?id=95b56216aee80c7e95d0e7d033ff8e1a63852813

This won't apply directly to our currently stable 2.26.3, since it still uses python for the plugin.  The attached patch fixes the regular expression to match the one now used in 2.28, and it fixes the problem for me.

Reproducible: Always
