Description Stephen Miller 2012-10-08 12:14:36 UTC
When searching the internet for videos, thumbnails still appear, but no video. Instead, an error message appears: Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. This happens 100% of the time, including those I have previously opened/played successfully. I do software updates frequently, and believe this happened after the last one, which was a few days ago. Also, if I attempt to open totem as root, using the command line, the response is: The connection is closed.

Which version of Movie Player? 3.8? (Which distro/version?)

Could you start Movie Player like this from a terminal / command line:

 $ GST_DEBUG=*:6 totem 2>dbg.log
 ... then reproduce the error, then press control-C
 $ gzip dbg.log

Then attach dbg.log.gz to this bug report.

You didn't say what your distro + distro version is :)

Unfortunately, I don't think we can do much about this, because it doesn't look like a bug in GStreamer itself (maybe on of the movie player plugins though, but it might be fixed by now), and because you are using a rather old version.

I suspect you simply need to upgrade.

You could also try filing a bug against your distro, perhaps they can backport some changes from the Movie Player plugin to make it work again with the old version. (I don't know for sure that there is a fix, but if it's possible to fix it, it will be in a newer version).

What's happening is that we get a 403 Forbidden error from the youtube server.
