GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 157888
totem movies stutter on ssh:// share
Last modified: 2006-09-10 11:32:51 UTC
Totem does not play movies with sound when they lie on a ssh:// gnome-vfs share... sound stutters shortly and then it is also shortly there again when seeking. However sound plays fine when the file is copied locally and it is not 99.99% of the time on ssh:// gnome-vfs share.
Which backend are you using (see the about box)? Which version of xine-lib or GStreamer are you using?
xine-lib version 1.0.0
Hmm, that's not the complete version. As you're using xine-lib, make sure you're using at least version 1rc7, it has some fixes for that. Reopen the bug if you manage to reproduce it with that version.

I now tested with version 1rc7 and it does not stutter. However totem first fills its buffer then plays ok but then again the buffer gets empty and totem stops. Then fills its buffer again and so on. I also noticed that on this wireless link copying this movie gives >300kB/s while with totem only ~120kB/s. (all with very low cpu load)
could you run: gnomevfs-info ssh://path/to/movie.mov time gnomevfs-copy ssh://path/to/movie.mov file:///tmp/test.mov

The xine-lib bug has been fixed by Thibaut Mattern. Could you please test the current xine-lib CVS and see whether it fixes your problem?
