[SOLVED] Miro can't handle h.264-files

Today I installed Miro from extra and it worked fine, but when I tried to play a file in the h.264 with the filename ending with .mp4, I get a message that Miro can't play this file.
VLC and mplayer can play it fine, but Totem gives me a  "GStreamer encountered a general stream error." message.
A more detailed error from Terminal when running Miro:

** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-h264, codec_data=(buffer)014d4020ffe10035674d4020e7200a00b7602a4181819000003e90000bb80e000003004c4b4000009896822f7e3000000302625a000004c4b4117bf0a001000468fe3c80, width=(int)1280, height=(int)720, framerate=(fraction)2997/125

Anybody know what the problem might be?

Now it is, and it works. Thanks.
I had some of the packages in the meta-package gstreamer0.10-plugins installed, but not the one you mentioned. I installed the whole meta-package and now it works.
