[gnomevfs] add support for burn:// URIs
Last modified: 2006-07-11 22:27:27 UTC
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/47461 "Drag a movie file into the CD creator folder and then double click it to play it. Totem gives an error message Totem could not play 'burn:///Eigene Videos/Windows Movie Maker-Beispieldatei.wmv'. No URI handler implemented for "burn". This makes the cd creator not very useful as often you want to preview the file before burning and make sure you selected the correct movie. Instead you have to remember where it was copied from, and double click it there (this can be annoying if it was on a remote network share it needs to be downloaded again and can be a hassle to find." The issue happens with totem-gstreamer, totem-xine works fine
Created attachment 66488 [details] [review] gstgnomevfsuri-additions.diff here's a patch that adds burn://, dav:// and davs:// support to gnomevfs{src,sink}. Someone please reassign this to gst-plugins-base and retitle it :)
I am not sure about the dav/davs stuff. I enabled this for another open totem bug and it didn't work reliably out of the box (at least davs IIRC), but I can't remember what the actual issue was right now.
Created attachment 66490 [details] [review] gstgnomevfsuri-additions.diff I guess I know why... "gst-inspect gnomevfs" or probably the registration of the element itself needs forever with the dav(s) stuff... damn So let's go with this patch that just adds support for burn:// and works perfect here
I'm just curious - how does totem-xine work with this? Does xine itself do access to gnomevfs uris?
Yes, xine has a gnomevfs input plugin
Only adding burn:// for now, there's bug #340850 for dav/davs support: 2006-06-10 Tim-Philipp Müller <tim at centricular dot net> * ext/gnomevfs/gstgnomevfsuri.c: (gst_gnomevfs_get_supported_uris): Add support for burn:// URIs (#343385); const-ify things a bit, use G_N_ELEMENTS instead of hard-coded array size.
