Description Tomasz Sałaciński 2010-02-25 17:24:29 UTC
There seems to be a bug on how Totem parses MMS:// protocol handlers. I am using UPC Live TV from Poland (live television broadcasted using MMS protocol, available only to PL UPC ISP users). Totem takes ~15 minutes to connect to the stream. When looking at the page source, I see mms:// link to the stream. I've tried to connect with totem to this stream and I see some connection refused messages. However, if I replace the mms:// header with rtsp://, the stream opens successfully and works great. It seems that GStreaner tries to connect to this stream using mms protocol and waits a long time before it tries to use RTSP.  Windows Media Player takes ~15 seconds to start playing the stream. Maybe if MMS is unavailable GStreamer should try RTSP first and then wait for timeout for mms?
Comment 1 Mark Nauwelaerts 2010-09-15 08:36:08 UTC
Likely one of the many problems with mms(src), moving to -bad.

Maybe totem (or whatever higher level) should try rtsp first, and then only mms, for some mms:// URL, which may very well be WMP approach nowadays.

I have the opposite problem, if I try to play mms://24.248.196.168:1038 it won't play when I go back and check it has changed it to rtsp://24.248.196.168:1038
