Bug Description

Hello,

I know that there already exist several bug reports against totem-*firefox-plugin. However, I did not know where to put this one so I am opening a new one. If you see that this is a duplicate of any existing one, please tell me so.

Well, my problem is that I cannot play any video located at:
http://ceskatelevize.cz/vysilani
The above url is just a menu where you can select an actual stream. Neither gstreamer nor xine totem plugin does not work, although each gives different results. In the end the stream does not play.

If I try to copy out a stream url from the page source and play it with stand-alone totem-* I get the same result. If I try to play it with xine, it succeeds. I suspect that the problem can be in that the url redirects the player to a new url where the stream actually resides. You can see that by using wget on the initial stream url.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Vladimir

This upload should fix the issue:

 totem (1.5.91-1ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low
 .
   * Sync with Debian
   * New upstream version:
     * Numerous Browser Plugin enhancements:
       - Playlist support
       - Split the plugin in 4 different plugins, to allow
         name-based detection to work, and different Javascript interfaces
         to be used (Real Player/Helix, Windows Media Player and Quicktime
         compatible, and basic Totem) (Ubuntu: #38169, #42716, #49376, #51167)
       - Handle repeat and autostart parameters
       - Make sure the plugin is available for all Mozilla-based browsers
       - Make scrolling on the volume widget work as it should
     * New icon
     * Use HAL to determine the disc type
     * Save and restore which sidebar was showing, and whether Totem was
       maximised
     * Fix the window title not changing when playing files with broken names
     * Fix Ctrl+Q not working in fullscreen
     * More logo mode fixes (xine-lib)
     * Fix aspect ratio of visuals (xine-lib)
   * debian/control.in:
     - Build-Depends on liblaunchpad-integration-dev, firefox-dev
     - Depends from totem on totem-gstreamer before totem-xine
     - don't Build-Depends on libxul-dev, xulrunner
     - totem-mozilla Replaces, Provides, Conflicts with
       totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin, totem-xine-firefox-plugin
     - use Suggests instead of Recommends for gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly,
       gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg since those packages come from universe
   * debian/patches/02_lpi.dpatch:
     - launchpad-integration
   * debian/patches/03_autoconf.dpatch:
     - configure update
   * debian/patches/04_desktop_gettext_domain.dpatch:
     - Add gettext domain to .desktop file to get language pack support.
   * debian/patches/05_auto_resize.dpatch:
     - use auto resize as default behaviour (Ubuntu: #35055)
   * debian/rules:
     - build with firefox instead of xulrunner
     - use dh_iconcache

feel free to reopen if you still have the issue with it
