GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 611703
Use SOCKS server provided by GNOME proxy settings to stream mms (and probably other protocols)
Last modified: 2010-03-03 15:34:13 UTC
1. Configure HTTP, FTP and SOCKS servers in GNOME proxy settings (System => Preferences => GNOME proxy settings). p.s. computer is in local network which is completely firewalled from outside, except proxy server 2. Open Totem, give it MMS URL in Movie => Open Location... Result: Totem hangs as it tries to reach first port and then 80 port of the server (MMS aren't accesible trough http proxy). Expected result: It would be nice that Totem detects that if both http and socks proxy servers are set, then use SOCKS for MMS.
Not a problem in Totem itself I'm afraid. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 505456 ***
