I am no longer able to play videos with Totem (and neither with some GStreamer based players)

I think I solved the issue, somehow. I am not sure which of these things was the solution, or if it was a combination of both, but I did:

  • Uninstall the flatpak of Gnome Videos (Totem)
  • removed the cache files for both totem and gstreamer:
rm -rf ~/.cache/totem
rm -rf ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0
  • Install the native package of Gnome VIdeos (Totem)

If anyone has an explanation of why this worked, I am curious to learn.
