GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 432492
Microsoft Live Labs videos take several minutes to begin
Last modified: 2008-06-12 08:59:17 UTC
Videos here: http://labs.live.com/photosynth/video.html take many minutes to start using the totem browser plugin, while they begin instantly in mplayer and vlc. This also happens if you open the stream from the shell: $ totem mms://wm.microsoft.com/ms/msnse/0611/28660/PS2_FINAL3_MBR.wmv My distribution is Ubuntu Feisty, and as far as I can tell totem is using the gstreamer backend.
Works fine here. What's the output of "firefox -debug" when you reproduce the problem?
Created attachment 86893 [details] Log of firefox output
Comment on attachment 86893 [details] Log of firefox output 'firefox -debug' just dropped me into GDB, but here is some output from firefox...
It's been nearly a year, and I still can't reproduce the problem. Let me know if the problem still happens with a newer distribution/GNOME version.
It still happens, everything still works using vlc. Calling totem with --debug doesn't produce anything either, which was disappointing. I ran strace on totem while it was stalling, but I don't know if that is useful at all. This segment: poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}], 9, 4997) = 0 gettimeofday({1213069880, 722628}, NULL) = 0 stat64("/home/henry/.recently-used.xbel", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=315658, ...}) = 0 read(3, 0x80c7c6c, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) gettimeofday({1213069880, 722982}, NULL) = 0 poll( <unfinished ...> just got repeated over and over again. Anything I can do to help?
I am running a shiny new gnome too- 2.22 on Ubuntu 8.04.
Does this command-line show the same problem: gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri="mms://wm.microsoft.com/ms/msnse/0611/28660/PS2_FINAL3_MBR.wmv"
Yes it does. It goes: Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is PREROLLING ... Pipeline is PREROLLED ... Setting pipeline to PLAYING ... and then just stalls.
looks similar to #537614
Note that it's that URL hanging: mms://wm.microsoft.com/ms/msnse/0611/28660/PS2_FINAL3_MBR.wmv The video on the front page of http://labs.live.com/photosynth/video.html where this video was originally works fine.
