GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 712318
Tells Totem the stream is seekable
Last modified: 2015-02-24 15:42:15 UTC
We have a private stream for meetings at RH, where the server is sometimes quite temperamental. The server disconnects/EOS's. When that happens and repeat is on, Totem will either close and re-open the stream (not seekable), or seek back and start playing again (seekable). GStreamer is telling Totem that the stream is seekable though, and we end up with "Can't seek to beginning, not seekable" instead of closing/reopening and playback starting again automatically.
This is using 1.2.1 on Fedora 20.
I guess you have to debug this with Wim. I assume you're using icecast? Not much we can do without some more information though
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug report if you can provide the information that was asked for in a previous comment. Thanks!
This is the script that's used for streaming: http://people.freedesktop.org/~halfline/start-stream-1.0
Thanks Bastien. I don't think that helps much though, since this script just captures + sends the stream to the actual streaming server, and Totem presumably connects to the streaming server. Perhaps you could set up or link to a test stream that reproduces the issue? (Wim should be able to connect to internal resources) A GST_DEBUG=*:6 log (when running Totem) would also help probably.
Also, have you checked if this still happens with 1.4.x or git master?
The machine has since been taken out of commission it seems. Never mind.
