this is the correct string :

mmsh://ctfotbal.visual.cz/ct/fotbalvize/plzen_olomouc2008.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf

I am trying to play videos on fotbalzive.cz

[Magnus S (magnuss)]

This is interesting...
Just tried the link here, and totem crashed. Confirmed.

I tried copy->paste the link into firefox adressbar, and totem(not the totem plugin) started and actually played the stream without crashing.

This is a line from kern.log:
Nov 30 16:02:15 magnus-laptop kernel: [14925.159690] totem[21983]: segfault at 1b3f ip b6ddbf96 sp b50323e4 error 4 in libc-2.8.90.so[b6d6a000+158000]

//magnus

[Magnus S (magnuss)]

Attaching my backtrace, just in case...
Steps:
1. start totem
2. Movie menu > Open location
3. paste link, enter. totem will segfault almost instantly.
//magnus

[Magnus S (magnuss)]

The link mmsh://ctfotbal.visual.cz/ct/fotbalvize/plzen_olomouc2008.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf will fail in vlc and mplayer as well.
The verbose output from vlc shows that the connection is successful but it doesn't seem to understand what type of stream it is. It seems confused.

Also, i'm not sure about the "MSWMExt" part of the url, is it something standardized when streaming media, or is it just another server variable that adds the .asf extension?

@ stereoit: where did you get the link from? Is there a playlist file available?

the 3rd movie worked fine for me but the 2nd was a bit dicey. Ubuntu 8.10 FF 3.0.4 Totem 2.24.3 sorry i didn't get a back-trace.

Good luck :)

this is from duplicate bug # 307568

The application buffers the data and the inital image shows, but the video doesn't play.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Totem 2.24.3 is also unable to play online TV on side http://www.dunatv.hu/felsomenu/nettv

My friend, who just started to use Ubuntu instead of Windows, complained.

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

I tried to reproduce this in Jaunty and works fine for me (Totem 2.26.2), could you upgrade your system to latest version and try again, and please leave a comment if this problem is still occurring.

Regards

[madbiologist (me-again)]

The link in comment 8 plays fine here on Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" alpha 3, updated to the latest Totem and Gstreamer versions.

Uname: Linux 2.6.35-14-generic i686
totem 2.31.6-0ubuntu1
libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.30-1build2

The link in comment 12 is now 404 - not found, however I was able to play some of their other videos without a problem.

[Timmy Shih Jun Yee (shijun)]

I'm able to play the links in the bug description and comment 8 just fine on Totem 2.30.2-0ubuntu1 (Lucid).

Looks like this bug's been fixed.
