GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 350261
Support saving streams to disk
Last modified: 2010-12-06 19:43:11 UTC
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/55162 "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..."
Quite good idea. ALso drag-and-dropping from playlist should allow to create a file. Now it only gives a possibility of changing order of playlist.
I would call the menu item "Save a Copy..." as in evince. I often end up wgetting first and then seeing the video with totem or something else instead of directly due to this myself
Created attachment 95676 [details] [review] Add save-as menu item to totem-2.18.3. This does not actually save the stream (yet).

Sorry to take so long to get around to this patch. Unfortunately it's now bit-rotted quite badly, as we've transitioned to GtkBuilder. Would it be possible for you to rework the patch so that it applies cleanly to head, please? Bug #160138 contains some ideas (although they might be out of date) for what to do internally to save streams to disk.

I've added a "download-filename" property to the video widget. Fixing this bug would involve: - listen to the download-filename property changing - add a menu item in Totem - change the menu item to be sensitive when download-filename is non-NULL, set it unsensitive when closing the file again - in totem-uri.c, add a function to ask the user for a filename, and use g_file_copy() to copy the file from the "download-filename" to the location selected by the user (this can be done without a UI for now). For testing, I would advise to use a local webserver and any small QuickTime video from the Apple website.
I have an additional feature request: it should be possible to set in and out points for the stream that you want to save (hh:mm:ss). This would be very handy as I'm often only interested in a specific part of the stream.

so is there any plan to actually do something about this?

Created attachment 175918 [details] [review] patch Only problem is that the CopyURIs() function from nautilus isn't appropriate. Will need to wait until an appropriate one is in nautilus before committing.
