Description Ondra Pelech 2011-12-11 23:01:38 UTC
the video doesn't load; the buffer progressbar just keeps getting finisned again and again
rtsp://media1.law.harvard.edu/Media/policy_d/2011/12/06_cfe.mov
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2011-12-11 23:11:51 UTC
What versions of GStreamer core, -base, and -good?

gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=rtsp://media1.law.harvard.edu/Media/policy_d/2011/12/06_cfe.mov

works for me both with git and the latest releases.
Comment 2 Ondra Pelech 2011-12-12 01:18:23 UTC
interesting:

1) $ gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=rtsp://media1.law.harvard.edu/Media/policy_d/2011/12/06_cfe.mov
works OK

2) $ totem rtsp://media1.law.harvard.edu/Media/policy_d/2011/12/06_cfe.mov
works OK

3) open totem, Movie -> Open Location
rtsp://media1.law.harvard.edu/Media/policy_d/2011/12/06_cfe.mov
doesn't work

using Fedora 15, core 0.10.34-1, base 0.10.33-1, good 0.10.29-1
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2011-12-19 11:09:52 UTC
I get the stream stopping after anything from 10 secs to a minute, and failing to restart, and semi-randomly, whichever way to open the stream I end up using.

I'm pretty certain that the failure to work correctly has nothing to do with how you start the stream.
Comment 4 Tobias Mueller 2012-04-03 23:54:01 UTC
Reopening as I can't see any open non developer question.
Comment 5 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-04-04 07:33:48 UTC
Does this still happen with a current / the latest releases? (i.e. core/base 0.10.36, -good 0.10.31)
Comment 6 Akhil Laddha 2012-06-11 13:28:29 UTC
Ondra, can you reproduce the issue with latest version of totem ?
Comment 7 Ondra Pelech 2012-06-11 20:17:33 UTC
Sorry, still running Fedora 15. I can report back when I update to the new version, but that may not happen soon.
Comment 8 Tobias Mueller 2012-10-27 19:57:12 UTC
$ totem rtsp://media1.law.harvard.edu/Media/policy_d/2011/12/06_cfe.mov

It took two attempts to make it fail, i.e. I needed to start it a second time before encountering this error very quickly. Funnily enough, gst-launch doesn't fail. At least it didn't five times.

This is on Fedora 17.
Comment 9 Bastien Nocera 2012-10-31 17:53:47 UTC
It doesn't do anything here with GStreamer 1.0, whether using totem or gst-launch, it just hangs.
Comment 10 Bastien Nocera 2013-03-06 22:33:39 UTC
gst-launch fails but VLC works (takes about 10-15 seconds for the stream to start), so reassigning to GStreamer.
Comment 11 Olivier Crête 2013-03-06 22:51:03 UTC
This is already fixed in the 1.0 git branch as well as master with will become 1.2
