Heya Damien,

I haven't heard of this problem before and I'm not really sure what would
be causing it.  It could be celery being stuck.

Try this: launch lazycelery on its own, leave it for ten minutes, and
see if the media shows up in your instance then...

Otherwise it could be a gstreamer issue.  Not totally sure.  Sorry!
It's hard to diagnose from here..
