upstream comment:

"Works for me, both with totem/GStreamer from CVS and versions in Feisty.

Could you a *:5 debug log please?

 $ export GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1
 $ GST_DEBUG=*:5 totem http://torahyoga.com/audio/who-is-db-ty.mp3 2>dbg.log
 .. quit or Control-C when it ends and hangs ...
 $ bzip dbg.log"

Could you get the debug log?

We are closing this bug report as it lacks the information, described in the previous comments, we need to investigate the problem further. However, please reopen it if you can give us the missing information and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.

Here is the *:5 debug requested above.
Please note that this is an issue with the totem plugin, not the totem player. The command to obtain the attached debug log was:

Has this bug been fixed in gutsy? I can still confirm this bug while playing an mp3 file in firefox.
Example: mp3 files on http://www.mch.govt.nz/anthem/index.html
The player will go fullscreen in the firefox window with a visualisation, but the progress slider will not move.

Hi
I have the same problem. The slider does not move while the movie is playing.

I am using Hardy Heron Xubuntu 8.04.
I am still not able to seek the slider in the totem-browser plugin.
Is this issue fixed? How do I fix this?

I have the same problem both on Intrepod 8.10 and Jaunty 9.04 with totem-gstreamer plugin.

I need this badly because when my grandfather watches a movie on bestrussiantv.com and it gets interrupted, he has to restart it and position to where he got dropped, but the slider on Totem stays dead.

Windows Media Player plugin has an operational position slider and I will have to downgrade him back to Windows XP unless I can find a way out of this.
