Ubuntu 22.04 - totem 41.alpha.0 - The specified movie could not be found

when I double click to play a file I get the following error message in a pop-up box

"The specified movie could not be found",

after running the command "G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all totem" and trying to play a file I get

"Pango-WARNING **: 14:39:45.324: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()"

the function "pango_layout_set_text()" is used in the source file

"src/totem-gallery-thumbnailer.c"

I believe it's an easy fix but I don't know much about these libraries
