Bug#737903: totem: Totem stalls; displays "Error: the stream is in the wrong format"

[Paul]

Package: totem
Version: 3.8.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Upgraded recently to jessie from wheezy using Debian-testing-i386-netinst. The
Totem player would not start, displayed a dialog asking if I wanted to quit or
wait and then displayed the above error message.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Uninstalled totem, totem-common and related packages; reinstalled
all of the above; upgraded the libtotem-plparser18 package from 3.8.2 to
3.10.0-1 using the experimental repo.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Same error, no difference.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
The DVD should play when inserted into the DVD player.
