GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 392239
Unable to view Fantastic Four trailer
Last modified: 2007-01-03 17:52:16 UTC
The trailer for the upcoming Fanstastic four movie is available: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/fantasticfourriseofthesilversurfer/hd/ I can't view it with GStreamer/Totem though due to the .mov files gotten in the end seems to be some kind of file referencing other files instead. So Totem responds with: Totem could not play 'http://images.apple.com/movies/fox/fantastic_4-silver_surfer/fantastic4silversurfer-tlr1_720p.mov'. Cannot play this file over the network. Try downloading it to disk first. I was able to sort of play the link produced by Totem in mplayer apart from some issues caused by FAAD.
That's a GStreamer bug, it's supposed to send a redirect. Totem doesn't handle or read .mov files as playlists.
Works fine for me with CVS of things: $ gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=http://images.apple.com/movies/fox/fantastic_4-silver_surfer/fantastic4silversurfer-tlr1_720p.mov -m ... Got Message from element "qtdemux0" (element): redirect, new-location=(string)fantastic4silversurfer-tlr1_h720p.mov, minimum-bitrate=(int)280 Totem catches the redirect fine for me too and plays it as well. The error is a bit curious, this is a custom error that usually only happens when playing a network streams and the demuxer does not support push-mode (which qtdemux certainly does). Any chance this is with a fluendo demuxer (hard to imagine) or ffdemux_* being plugged in? Please attach a GST_DEBUG=*:2,totem:5 log if that's not it.
Sorry, I had forgotten that I had removed all ugly/bad/ffmpeg plugins from my system :) Closing.
