totem-mozilla can handle video/x-m4v

[Markus Golser]

If I go to http://www.podshow.com/player/psp.php?theFeed=rocknrolltv&theEpisode=undefined

Firefox can't find a plugin for video/x-m4v and launches the plugin-finder.

I'm using
ii totem-gstreamer 2.18.1-0ubuntu3 A simple media player for the Gnome desktop based on gstreamer

on Feisty.

If I go to about:plugins
video/x-m4v
is not listed

        * browser-plugin/totemNarrowSpacePlugin.cpp: Patch from Markus Golser
        to add video/x-m4v as a supported mime-type for the NarrowSpace plugin

It's far from enough to make the site work though. On startup, I get:
** Message: WARNING: Site uses unimplemented function
'totemINarrowSpacePlayer::GetTimeScale'
** Message: WARNING: Site uses unimplemented function
'totemINarrowSpacePlayer::GetTime'
** Message: WARNING: Site uses unimplemented function
'totemINarrowSpacePlayer::GetDuration'
** Message: WARNING: Site uses unimplemented function
'totemINarrowSpacePlayer::GetMaxBytesLoaded'
** Message: WARNING: Site uses unimplemented function
'totemINarrowSpacePlayer::GetMovieSize'"
