Description Murray Cumming 2007-03-21 10:35:20 UTC 
When trying to play the MMS thing from here (with the gstreamer-bad plugins), the error message is slightly ambiguous:
"
Could not open location; You may not have permission to open the file.
"

This suggests that I am not allowed to have permission. "You might not have" would be less ambiguous. I'll change this in svn if that's OK.

This is a GStreamer message string => GStreamer
Comment 2 Wim Taymans 2007-03-22 08:31:02 UTC 
Where is it?
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2007-03-22 09:09:38 UTC 
That's the xine-lib backend error message:
        case XINE_MSG_PERMISSION_ERROR:
                num = BVW_ERROR_FILE_PERMISSION;
                if (g_str_has_prefix (bvw->com->mrl, "file:") != FALSE)
                        message = g_strdup (_("You are not allowed to open this file."));
                else
                        message = g_strdup (_("The server refused access to this file or stream."));
                break;
Comment 4 Murray Cumming 2007-03-22 09:21:47 UTC 
Those look like different strings.
Comment 5 Tim-Philipp Müller 2007-03-22 21:26:18 UTC 
My mistake, sorry for the confusion. It is in fact in totem/src/backend/bacon-video-widget-gst-0.10.c

Please do, in trunk (I presume the 2.18 branch is string frozen?)
