Same with me. I have updated the libgdata6 package and searching for videos on Movie Player is working fine again. Thanks a lot for sorting this out!

the proposed package indeed fixes the issue, haven't noticed any regressions so far, youtube works fantastic on totem again. Marking this as verification done, thanks all for the hard work.
