mms-streams load really slow and stop playing while loading
Last modified: 2009-06-26 19:02:37 UTC
When I run totem mms://tagesschau.wmod.llnwd.net/a3705/d1/2009/0623/TV-20090623-1421-0601.wm.hi.wmv or gst-launch playbin uri=mms://tagesschau.wmod.llnwd.net/a3705/d1/2009/0623/TV-20090623-1421-0601.wm.hi.wmv it needs too long to play the stream. VLC plays directly and loads with 59 KiB/s, but gstreamer is loading with 20 KiB/s and playing after ca. 15 minutes, when the video has been downloaded (and seems to load again when seeking to another point of the video?). Why isn't there any buffer when playing mms-Streams? And why is it loading so slow? Other information:
Seems to work perfectly fine for me with all git playbin/playbin2/totem. What version of gstreamer and gst-plugins-ugly/gst-ffmpeg are you using?
Hello, thank you for your answer. I am using 0.10.10.2 for the ugly set and 0.10.6.2 for ffmpeg-plugin. playbin2 works with me and plays directly, but not totem. Should I use a PPA for gstreamer in ubuntu?
Now I have GStreamer 0.10.23, plugins-ugly 0.10.11-1 and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.7-1, but the problem, that totem or playbin don't start to play while buffering, is the same.
I got an update (https://launchpad.net/~gstreamer-developers/+archive/ppa) and I'm using ugly_0.10.12-1, bad_0.10.13-1 now, that fixed the problem! The mms-Stream ist played directly without being fully downloaded. I don't know if a developer had changed something because of this report, but I'm very glad about it, so thanks to them!
Thanks for letting us know that it's fixed now.
