GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 300691
Implement saving
Last modified: 2014-04-30 11:22:50 UTC
I just go to see a movie at apple.com, and when the movie finishes, I'm unable to play it again. If I refresh the page, I have to download the whole file again. And also, if I have downloaded some percentage of the file, I cant browse back (partly because its only streaming). Please fix/change this :(
Also see #160138 for the disk caching. As for the playing back again, Bastien, I was considering trying to add a right-click menu with functions such as 'play' or 'pause' (depending on state) and 'fullscreen'. Possible some more.

There's already support for caching in the current Mozilla plugin. As for the "saving", the easiest would be for us to redirect the browser to that particular URL. If the plugin only handles embedded data, we'll be offered to download the file by the web browser, and the browser would take care of using the file already in the cache, or download the data itself, without us having to worry about cookies and permissions.
Ubuntu bug about that: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/55162 "totem needs a "Save As" menu item If I click on a WMV movie in Firefox, Totem is offered as the default movie viewer. The movie downloads fully, then Totem plays it. So far so good! However, if I then decide I'd like to keep that file, there's no way to do that -- short of using Playlist -> "Copy Location", then decoding that URL-format string into an un-encoded path, then going into another window, and finding that file manually. Since Totem already has the file open, it seems like it'd be pretty trivial to offer a "Movie" -> "Save As..." menu item to save the file to another location..."
(In reply to comment #4) > Ubuntu bug about that: > https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/55162 > > "totem needs a "Save As" menu item This bug is about the Web browser plugin, not the Movie player.
right, I've opened bug #350261 about the feature request for the player

This should be easy enough to implement. In totem_embedded_set_local_cache(), make the menu item for save sensitive, and when clicked, use the file descriptor as the source for the file.
The browser plugin has been removed from Totem. See this post for more details: http://www.hadess.net/2014/04/good-bye-totem-browser-plugin.html
