<title>Track down other video problems</title>

<p>If you have already followed <link xref="supported-formats"/> and
<link xref="troubleshooting-DVD"/> and a video still cannot be played, open a
terminal window and enter the command <cmd>totem --help-gst</cmd>. This will
show a list of available options you can use to get debug output. Often the
problem is in an underlying plugin, for example in <sys>GStreamer</sys> and not
in <app>Videos</app> itself.</p>

<note style="info"><p>Software bugs in <sys>GStreamer</sys> can be reported in the
<link href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer"><sys>GStreamer</sys> issue tracker</link>.</p></note>
