Totem Movie Player is a media player (audio and video) for the GNOME personal computer desktop environment which runs on Linux, Solaris, BSD and other Unix and Unix-like systems. It is officially included in GNOME starting from version 2.10 (released in March 2005), but de facto it was already included in most GNOME environments. The default backend is GStreamer framework but Totem can also use Xine libraries. Totem became popular when it was chosen for Mandrake Linux (now Mandriva Linux) as the default media player.
