Description Havard Bjastad 2007-02-03 20:20:39 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When opening a remote file, totem gives the following error:
Totem could not play 'http://www.stockshots.com/images/videoclips/cartoon.avi'.
Cannot play this file over the network. Try downloading it to disk first.

If saving the file to /tmp and opening it, it works. However, this is not very user-friendly for novice (Linux) users...

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open totem with a remote (avi) file as parameter

Actual results:


Expected results:
Totem playing the file

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Default installation of totem on Ubuntu 6.10, so probably using gstreamer backend.

I just tried an ogg sample (http://www.headless.dna.ie/ogg/Quand_On_A_Que_Lamour_-_Guesch_Patti.ogg), and it seems to work. So I guess there is a difference between which file type is being sent to totem...

When using Totem-SVN(Gstreamer) on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn it plays fine.
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2007-02-03 23:41:16 UTC 
It would be a GStreamer bug, which I believe has already been fixed for some time. Tim?
Comment 4 Tim-Philipp Müller 2007-02-04 11:48:11 UTC 
It's been fixed a while ago. Should be fixed in gst-plugins-good 0.10.5.

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.
