Before getting to the video you need to demux the mpeg2 transport stream.
Totem is telling you that you don't have the plugin necessary to do this.
Try adding the a gstreamer demux plugin such as
gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux [0]

On a fresh system I get the same error as you, after adding a demux
plugin I then get:
$ totem bbb-tr1000.ts
** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-dirac
** Message: Error: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument
Which the schroedinger plugin will then handle.
