plugin : Need to wait for the file to be downloaded completely
Last modified: 2007-01-08 11:58:21 UTC
I get the message in the title when trying to view the following:- http://streamer.perimeterinstitute.ca/mediasite/viewer/NoPopupRedirector.aspx?peid=17757a60-7f33-4894-9e48-efa42b0316ea&shouldResize=False I have viewed this stream, with partial success, with the mplayer plugin so I do not understand why the whole stream needs to be downloaded before it will play. Fedora Core 6 versions:- firefox-1.5.0.9-1.fc6 totem-mozplugin-2.16.3-1.fc6 totem-2.16.3-1.fc6 gstreamer-0.10.10-2.fc6 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.10-1.fc6 gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.4-1.fc6 gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.3-2.fc6 and from freshrpms:- gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.5-1.fc6 gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.2-1.fc6 gstreamer-pitfdll-0.9.1.1-1.fc6 The following is the output from firefox:- [dixon@localhost fc6]$ ./firefox-out ** Message: NP_Initialize ** Message: totem_plugin_new_instance totemGMPPlugin ctor [0xb17a980] mode 1 mime type: application/x-mplayer2 argv[0] type application/x-mplayer2 argv[1] name WMVPlayer argv[2] id WMVPlayer argv[3] pluginspage http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/ argv[4] src http://streamer.perimeterinstitute.ca/mediasite/viewer/GenerateDynamicPlayList.aspx?pid=1bddbe0c-bb5a-4701-9786-ac651edc98f4&slideNum=0 argv[5] defaultframe FrameMacEvents argv[6] baseurl http://streamer.perimeterinstitute.ca/mediasite/viewer/ argv[7] currentposition 0 argv[8] invokeurls 1 argv[9] showstatusbar 1 argv[10] showdisplay 0 argv[11] showgotobar 0 argv[12] showcontrols 1 argv[13] showtracker 1 argv[14] enabletracker 1 argv[15] enablepositioncontrols 1 argv[16] showpositioncontrols 0 argv[17] autostart 1 argv[18] autosize 0 argv[19] displaymode 4 argv[20] height 100% argv[21] width 100% ** Message: plugin_get_value 14 (e) ** Message: plugin_set_window ** Message: waiting for data to come ** Message: leaving plugin_set_window ** Message: plugin_set_window ** Message: existing window ** Message: resize ** Message: leaving plugin_set_window ** Message: plugin_new_stream ** Message: plugin_new_stream type: video/x-ms-asf url: http://streamer.perimeterinstitute.ca/mediasite/viewer/GenerateDynamicPlayList.aspx?pid=1bddbe0c-bb5a-4701-9786-ac651edc98f4&slideNum=0 ** Message: Is special type 'audio/x-ms-asx' ** Message: Need to wait for the file to be downloaded completely ** Message: plugin_stream_as_file: /home/dixon/.mozilla/firefox/r4m5o63f.default/Cache/B0B524F8d01 ** Message: Launching: /usr/libexec/totem-mozilla-viewer --xid 35683870 --width 100 --height 100 --url http://streamer.perimeterinstitute.ca/mediasite/viewer/GenerateDynamicPlayList.aspx?pid=1bddbe0c-bb5a-4701-9786-ac651edc98f4&slideNum=0 --mimetype video/x-msvideo --playlist file:///home/dixon/.mozilla/firefox/r4m5o63f.default/Cache/B0B524F8d01 ** Message: waiting for signal org.totem_7843.MozillaPluginService ** Message: Received notification for :1.22 ** Message: Received notification for :1.22 ** Message: Received notification for org.totem_7843.MozillaPluginService ** Message: Received notification for org.totem_7843.MozillaPluginService ** Message: Done forking, new proxy=0xb042130 ** Message: plugin_destroy_stream, reason: 0 CMD line: /usr/libexec/totem-mozilla-viewer --xid 35683870 --width 100 --height 100 --url http://streamer.perimeterinstitute.ca/mediasite/viewer/GenerateDynamicPlayList.aspx?pid=1bddbe0c-bb5a-4701-9786-ac651edc98f4&slideNum=0 --mimetype video/x-msvideo --playlist file:///home/dixon/.mozilla/firefox/r4m5o63f.default/Cache/B0B524F8d01 added URI 'mms://216.16.242.108/1bddbe0c-bb5a-4701-9786-ac651edc98f4.wmv' with title 'empty' genre '(null)' ** Message: totem_embedded_open 'mms://216.16.242.108/1bddbe0c-bb5a-4701-9786-ac651edc98f4.wmv' ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-asf-unknown, codec_id=(int)10 DMO dll supports VO Optimizations 0 1 DMO dll might use previous sample when requested ** Message: plugin_destroy totemGMPPlugin dtor [0xb17a980] I am not worried by the the message:- ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-asf-unknown, codec_id=(int)10 as this is fully dealt with in:- Bug 376958 – undefined symbol: pp_free_mode http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376958
The "Need to wait for the file to be downloaded completely" is completely normal, as it's a playlist, and we need to download it completely before parsing it. ** Message: totem_embedded_open 'mms://216.16.242.108/1bddbe0c-bb5a-4701-9786-ac651edc98f4.wmv' It seems to try and open the file correctly. What doesn't work correctly exactly?
Ok, thanks for the explanation; the message is refering to the playlist not the stream. However, the download continues without anything appearing in the window. Is it possible that this is because there is no audio codec available? If this is the case, would it not be better to halt, displaying an error, or to display just the video, with some message explaining why there is no sound?
Ca you play the mms stream in the stand-alone Totem?
I tried:- Applications->Sound & Video->Movie Player->Movie->Open Location... mms://216.16.242.108/1bddbe0c-bb5a-4701-9786-ac651edc98f4.wmv Open which starts Totem in FC6, and I get the same behaviour. The stream downloads without anything appearing in the window.
I just thought, I should have tried it at the command line. I get the message:- [dixon@localhost ~]$ totem ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-asf-unknown, codec_id=(int)10 DMO dll supports VO Optimizations 0 1 DMO dll might use previous sample when requested
It's a GStreamer playback problem, not a Browser problem.
Ok. Thanks for the reply. I will complain to the Gstreamer folks.
Could you *please* stop changing the component the bug is reported against? I already passed it onto the GStreamer component, stop please stop changing it.
Sorry, I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I do sometimes get another display, after I have hit Save Changes, which I have not seen before. It is not clear what I am supposed to do with that display.
Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. (No need to make any more changes at all now :)) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 342541 *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 342541 ***
I just looked through my history and it was the Reopen Bug display.
