http://jeff.ecchi.ca/public/gstreamer-codec-autodetection/5%20-%20does%20not%20work/Metal%20Gear%20Solid%202%20-%20E3.asx

Doesn't play back, with gst good/bad/ugly/ffmpeg installed, packages from the gstreamer PPA.

Comment 1 Edward Hervey 2010-02-20 08:17:18 UTC

Plays fine with "gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=..." with git of everything.

With totem 2.28.5, I get the following backtrace when loading the url:

Comment 2 Edward Hervey 2010-02-20 08:17:42 UTC

This should maybe be reassigned to totem.

Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2010-02-20 10:06:33 UTC

Yes, definitely. Totem thinks it's a playlist, tries to parse it and explodes. In reality it's an ASF file. Thanks for debugging, Edward.

commit 12316e257478b6e144186427eb92b0c1ab2d1c42
Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net>

    Fix parsing of dual-types after sniffing
    
    After getting the data type of a playlist through the actual data,
    we should check again if it matches the parser we want to use,
    otherwise we'll end up trying to parse video files that were
    masquerading as dual-type playlists.
