Something messed up with your icon set for totem. Just reinstall it with:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall totem

  This is very strange! Have you tried apt-get install --reinstall totem? Or install unity-tweak-tool and try a different icon theme.

@ComputerJy Worked for me. Try uninstalling totem with sudo apt-get purge totem; sudo apt-get autoremove, then install again with sudo apt-get install totem.
