Bug Description
My wife was trying to watch a live feed from www.qvcuk.com (watch qvc live tab)
totem-gstreamer promptly reported:
Totem could not play 'fd://0'.
there were no decoders found to handle the stream, you might need to install the
corresponding plugins.
I then installed Totem-xine which solved this problem. How ever I can no longer
watch any movie trailers as totem crashes out and takes firefox with it, some of
the trailers are mpeg files which both gstreamer and xine support. Yet if I
download the film trailer first it will play in totem-gstreamer or xine without
a hitch. I have also open totem and typed in the url and it will play the files.
I am therefore assuming there is a problem with it's integration with firefox
rather than a problem specifically with totem.
Thanks for your bug. It does the same message here with the gstreamer version,
but the xine version reads it fine. What version of totem do you use (the
"about" dialog has it)?
Could you get a backtrace of the crash with gdb:
- gdb -p `pidof firefox-bin`
(gdb) continue
... go to the page and get the crash
(gdb) thread apply all bt
How do you download the file to try on your box?
