Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem-mozilla

On Edgy (migrate from dapper) Firefox seems to not be able to play embedded videos with the totem-mozila plugin (of course, It was ok with dapper).

I tried with the gstreamer and xine totme backends without success.
I don't think that's a codec problem cause I can watch wmv and mpeg local files with totem without any problems.

I've checked on forums (both officials an french) and I'm not alone (the turn around seems to install mplayer plugin).

Thanks

Hi Sebastien,

Sorry for the delay but I was in holiday. After the bug report I have manually installed MPlayer and I have to investigate what I have done to coming back in the same environment before sending you an example.

Best regards and happy new year

Christophe

let we know if you figure something, uninstalling mplayer and reinstalling totem should probably give you a configuration similar to the one you had before,

happy new year

Hi Sebastien,

I have uninstalled mplayer.
If you just click on any image on this page http://www.videofolie.com/home.htm, you will have a popup with a grey box instead of a mpeg video (I can read downloaded mpeg files).

thanks

totem-mozilla does not play videos with the xine backend on my feisty box. The totem page opens and stalls with 'transferring data from www.whatever.com'. A right click on the totem page offers to open i movie player and if accepted totem opens up and plays the video.

I have the same problem as Paul using the totem-xine/totem-mozilla. But for the right-click it doesn't always work.

I.e.: I'm unable to play Apple trailers (http://www.apple.com/trailers) and using the right click I get a stream but gets paused a few secondes after.
