How to install latest version of Totem Movie Player?

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Where can I get the latest version of Totem?

The one thing I've found in Ubuntu is how the default apps are not usually or easily updated. Apps like Rhythmbox and Totem have gotten new releases since 12.04 came out and I was wondering if there's a PPA or anything I can add so I can have Totem and essentially other default apps up to date. Thanks in advance!

Solution

The most sure fire way is just to compile for your system.

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html

apt-get install build-essential

apt-get build-dep package

apt-get source package or dget http://file-that-ends-in-dsc

cd package-*

dpkg-buildpackage

However much of Totem's functionality is mostly gstreamer, so upgrading it doesn't change that much.

Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal) will likely be using Totem 3.4.3-0, rather than 3.0.1-0 that was release with Ubuntu 12.04. However, this has only been released (for Quantal beta) quite recently.
