Some RTSP streams fail to play
Last modified: 2008-08-14 10:40:18 UTC
Totem fails to play some RTSP streams, for instance rtsp://lyssna-wm.sr.se/autorec/ekot/nyheter/srp2_2008-04-27_175959_182_w4.wma As suggested in http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-advusers/2005-March/001101.html , I simply replaced "rtsp" with "mms", i.e. I did $ totem mms://lyssna-wm.sr.se/autorec/ekot/nyheter/srp2_2008-04-27_175959_182_w4.wma and the stream started playing. Maybe totem could automatically replace rtsp->mms if the former doesn't work? This is on Ubuntu Hardy, with totem version 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 (the gstreamer variant). I'm attaching the error message totem gives for the rtsp URI.
