Description Bastien Nocera 2011-03-16 20:07:08 UTC 
This fails:
quvi http://vimeo.com/14912890 --exec "totem %u"

This works:
quvi http://vimeo.com/14912890 --exec "gst-launch playbin2 uri=%u"
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2011-03-17 01:09:10 UTC 
This is due to totem_action_add_recent(), which will try to load all that data from the web server. But we already have it!

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2011-03-17 01:10:48 UTC 
It was also due to Totem not having a user-agent at all.

    main: Don't poke at web servers for info
    
    When loading videos from some websites, through quvi, we
    already have a lot of information about the file, so we
    don't really need to go and look for that information
    ourselves.
    
    We now store the content-type of the stream in question, and
    don't hit the web server to fill in GtkRecent if that's the case.

    backend: Never use an empty User-Agent
    
    Or some web services will kick us out without asking.
