Bug Description
Binary package hint: xubuntu-desktop
Originally reported as bug #262494 (totem-mozilla cannot play quicktime trailers from Apple web site)
Here is a concise summary of problem and resolution and therefor the bug against xubuntu-desktop:
Problem:
without libgnomevfs2-extra it appears that Totem cannot follow URLs to retrieve content.
As a result going to this web page in Firefox results in Totem reporting 'Location Not Found':
http://
In addition, entering the '.mov' URL directly into stand-alone totem via the 'Movie'->'Open Location...' also results in 'Location Not Found':
http://
Resolution:
> apt-get install libgnomevfs2-extra
which is <300k in size!
Bug:
Xubuntu Desktop standard install should include this package!
I can't confirm this at the moment, but since libgnomevfs2-extra is also missing from the intrepid seed, I've submitted a branch that adds it, but it needs sign off by another dev. I'll have to talk to cjwatson on making changes to the hardy seed.
