Comment 1 Martin Jürgens 2008-07-13 15:41:34 UTC 
As they've shutdown the livestream here's another one. With other sympthoms which are more weird:

http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/content/536586

Windows Media: Sound works, video does not (black screen). When opening it with Totem, both works (right click -> open with video player).

VLC: Works, great

Quicktime: Sound works, video does not (goom visualization). Opening with totem: same symthoms.

You can change the video format by clicking on the wrench on the left side on the bottom.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2008-07-14 14:58:38 UTC 
GStreamer doesn't like the RTSP WMV video.
Comment 3 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2008-07-22 06:42:00 UTC 
For me this works great. We're watching this daily. Although somethimes the servers are overloaded and then one gets either black video or no saound or none of both.

I have the fluendo plugins installed. When I disable them it still plays, but somewhat choppy.
Comment 4 Martin Jürgens 2008-07-22 10:29:17 UTC 
WMV and VLC work fine for me there, but when selecting QuickTime I only get sound and virtualization..
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2008-08-13 13:26:11 UTC 
"virtualization"? For Quicktime, it's most likely a missing codec. You'd need to file a separate bug about that (although Totem 2.23.x's browser plugin will warn you about missing codecs).
Comment 6 Martin Jürgens 2008-08-13 15:43:18 UTC 
i mean visualization ;)
Comment 7 Wim Taymans 2009-02-23 16:47:42 UTC 
Seems to work fine for me too. Closing.
Comment 8 Martin Jürgens 2009-03-06 12:54:33 UTC 
Does not work for me (Windows Media and VLC streams). QuickTime works though.

works but not smoothly
Comment 9 Edward Hervey 2009-03-06 13:00:06 UTC 
Martin, it plays fine with git versions. Don't reopen unless you use the git versions and confirm it still doesn't work.
Comment 10 Martin Jürgens 2009-03-06 13:24:18 UTC 
ok thank you!
