Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

I first downloaded the source video

http://www.archive.ecs.soton.ac.uk/data/archive/arc/tinel.rm (using save option from mplayer plugin within firefox)

open video, and there is a codec error (which I'm afraid I expected, but not the bug here)
the error dialogue flashes up over and over again, so it is impossible to dismiss without hammering escape before closing totem. It doesn't actually crash.

Might be reloading the start of the stream over and over again, even though it can't play it - looping?

trying to play the file listed in the description trigger no codec error in jaunty and the submitter didn't reply to the previous comment, closing the bug, you can reopen if you still the issue there though
