GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 342234
Can't play AVI file direct from a Windows share
Last modified: 2008-06-03 12:05:40 UTC
It seems Totem won't play AVI files direct from a Windows share mounted via gnomevfs. The file appears to get loaded into Totem and the statusbar says Playing but nothing happens. Playing an MP3 file direct from the same share in Totem works fine. Copying the AVI files locally and playing them also works fine. Totem 1.4.1 Using GStreamer 0.10.6
Could you try this $ export GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 $ export GST_DEBUG=*gnomevfs*:5,avidemux:5,totem:5 $ gst-launch-0.10 -v playbin uri=smb:///URI_TO_YOUR_SHARE 2> dbg.log $ bzip2 dbg.log and attach the bzipped file?
I forgot: you can also use $ totem 2> dbg.log and then open the file in totem instead of the gst-launch command line (but you still need the 'export' lines before that) if that's easier for you.

This should be a duplicate of bug #336465
> This should be a duplicate of bug #336465 I'm not sure. I thought smb:// allowed random access/seeking. If it does, then it might be a gnomevfssrc issue.
From reading the log, I have absolutely no clue what's going on here. Everything seems to be alright (even though it takes pretty long). After ~30-35 secs avidemux has signaled 'no more pads' and playback should start but nothing seems to happen after that (the log indicates totem/playbin is stopped then, but it doesn't seem to be through user action). Could you do another log by any chance, this time with: $ export GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 $ export GST_DEBUG=*:5 (and stop when you either get an error or CPU usage goes back to 0-ish) and again put up the bzipped file somewhere? :)

Oh, and the filename being played is "qi.avi" to help you searching through the log.
Is this still a problem? It works great for me...
Seems to work fine now for me too.
