Description W. Michael Petullo 2004-09-06 06:20:16 UTC 
I have a video file, foo.mov, that is a QuickTime file containing twos audio and
jpeg video.  The gst-launch-ext script generates a gstreamer pipeline that
successfully plays the file:

gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location="foo.mov" ! qtdemux name=demux { .video_00 !
queue ! spider ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink } { demux. !  queue ! spider !
osssink }

However, when I play the file using totem, totem states, "An error occured 
Could not determine type of stream."

I am using totem-0.99.15.1, gstreamer 0.8.5 and gst-plugins 0.8.4.

Can you upload the file somewhere and give a link to it?
Comment 2 W. Michael Petullo 2004-09-17 11:59:22 UTC 
I was not able to upload the file when I made the report.  The suspect QuickTime
is not available at:

http://www.flyn.org/random/acronyms.mov

I won't be able to leave it up for more than a week or so because it is very
large (55MB).  Is there a place where one may submit problem media files so that
they will be available for future regression testing?

Mass reassign.
Comment 4 Ronald Bultje 2004-10-01 14:06:04 UTC 
I fixed this a few days ago. The file acronyms.mov now plays fine with current
CVS of Totem and gst-plugins+gst-core+gst-ffmpeg.
Comment 5 W. Michael Petullo 2004-10-07 19:24:04 UTC 
The stream now works with totem totem 0.99.17, gstreamer 0.8.7 and
gstreamer-plugins 0.8.5.  I am going to remove
