GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 522699
pnm:/something.ra streams can't be loaded in Totem from a web page (fnac.com for instance)

Please describe the problem: On Fnac.com website, you can listen to music by clicking on the track list. For instance, at http://musique.fnac.com/a2010472/Micky-Green-White-t-shirt-Edition-super-jewel-box-CD-album?Mn=-1&Ra=-28&To=0&Nu=1&Fr=0 each track can be clicked, and an audio.asp file is loaded by Firefox. The audio.asp file is only filled with a path like pnm://multimedia.fnac.com/audio/8/1/4/0600753017418A01.ra. That path can be handled with realplayer but not with Totem-GSTreamer. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Totem can't handle the path/protocole/file pnm:/something.ra that can be find in audio.asp from websites Expected results: Totem should load the track to allow the user to listen to it Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
Totem with the xine-lib backend can handle those, but GStreamer cannot. The protocol itself seems pretty straight forward.
thank you for having redirect that bug report i confirm that i'm using GStreamer backend (and i love it, wonderful association with Totem) In France, Fnac.com is a big shop (something like Amazon in USA i guess) and that problem may concern a lot of users here
This bug doesn't seem to be assigned to a GSTreamer component. Could someone in touch with GStreamer help please ?
Here is a new piece of information : a guy on a french forum says that he's not concerned by this bug while running Debian Lenny & Gnome 2.22 He says he only has totem, totem-gstreame & libtotem-plparser ( http://fr.gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=1559 ) I'm running Ubuntu and i have that bug with both Gutsy (GNOME 2.20) and Hardy (GNOME 2.22) what kind of information would you need from him to know what exactly is the matter ?
i've just read that : NEWS: totem-pl-parser-2.23.2 * Ignore pnm:// URLs that are passed to us Is it a fix for the present bug ?
(In reply to comment #5) > i've just read that : > > NEWS: totem-pl-parser-2.23.2 > * Ignore pnm:// URLs that are passed to us > > Is it a fix for the present bug ? No, it just means that we won't try to parse the URL in the playlist parser. Nothing else. The GStreamer bug still stands.
nothing new in 11 months :-( This is an important bug, at less for french users
Changing the pnm:// to rtsp:// makes it work.
thanks for the answer Should this change occur in Totem or GStreamer ?
Commited a stupid plugin that automatically redirects to the equivalent RTSP url, this makes the pnm:// streams of fnac work in totem. We can add some real pnm support later. commit da28d1620e74e3bb0ca467d7ef5e81dc56fe60a6 Author: Wim Taymans <wim.taymans@collabora.co.uk> Date: Fri Feb 20 15:53:34 2009 +0100 Add pnm:// uri source Add a new utri handler for pnm:// that for now just redirects to the same uri with the rtsp:// protocol, which usually works nowadays. Separate the registration of the various plugins into a separate source file.
thanks a lot, can't wait to have it in the next GStreamer release :-) It will allow me to delete realplayer from my system !
