Forwarded upstream from https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/80365 Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 Ubuntu 9.04 Firefox 3.0.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 Movie player, totem 2.25.3-0ubuntu2 What happens * Link number four at http://www.radionz.co.nz/search?mode=results&queries_all_query=stallman redirects to http://www.radionz.co.nz/__data/assets/audio_item/0008/1699424/sat-20080809-0845-Richard_Stallman_Freedom-m048.asx which should play an interview with Richard Stallman * A page opens with a media icon and nothing happens. The right click context menu includes "Totem Browser Plugin 2.25.3 - Browser Plugin using GStreamer 0.10.22" * 'Open with "Movie player" ' complains "An error occurred /r Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file." What should happen: * If Ubuntu can play the supplied file, then it should 'just work'. * If Ubuntu can't play the supplied file it should explain why. In Ubuntu 9.04 these streams also fail: * http://launchpadlibrarian.net/5780054/test.asx The windows just says "stopped". 'Open with Movie Player' reports 'buffering' and then 'playing' but nothing happens. * http://www.abc.net.au/science/broadband/catalyst/asx/Catalyst16_vortex_hi.asx The windows just says "stopped". 'Open with Movie Player' reports 'buffering' and then 'playing' but nothing happens. Using cli and mplayer I can download the file at http://www.radionz.co.nz/__data/assets/audio_item/0008/1699424/sat-20080809-0845-Richard_Stallman_Freedom-m048.asx which then plays fine. $ mplayer -playlist url -dumpfile out.mpg -dumpstream
It's a problem with mmssrc, as far as I can tell. $ mplayer -nocache mms://202.7.7.90/rnz/sat/sat-20080809-0845-Richard_Stallman_Freedom-048.mp3 <snip> Playing mms://202.7.7.90/rnz/sat/sat-20080809-0845-Richard_Stallman_Freedom-048.mp3.

Again some more libmms fuckup. It seems most other players have moved away from it and implement their own mms version now. Maybe we should do the same.
This doesn't seem like a blocker bug to me - it's not a regression.
Duncan, Works fine for me. Can you confirm ?
Closing as OBSOLETE as per last comment.
Sorry for the late response. I gave three example links, one of them now works. Doesn't work: http://www.radionz.co.nz/__data/assets/audio_item/0008/1699424/sat-20080809-0845-Richard_Stallman_Freedom-m048.asx Doesn't work: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/5780054/test.asx Works: http://www.abc.net.au/science/broadband/catalyst/asx/Catalyst16_vortex_hi.asx This is now on Ubuntu 9.10, Firefox 3.6.3 and totem 2.30.0git20100413-0ubuntu1
All links work fine with git of today, marking as OBSOLETE.
