Totem cannot load BBC iplayer plugin in Karmic

[Alex Valavanis]

Binary package hint: totem

When attempting to enable the BBC iplayer plugin from the Edit -> Plugins menu, Totem fails with the message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/totem/plugins/iplayer/iplayer.py", line 6, in <module>

I have tried installing python-feedparser but the now get the message:

Tried installing python-beautifulsoup. Module now loads.

I guess that the bug could be fixed by adding...

totem-plugins depends:
python-feedparser
python-beautifulsoul

Suggest to add python-feedparser in the Depends field of totem-plugins.

Does this plugin play BBC iPlayer content, as in the on-demand stuff, or are we talking about BBC Content, which is like the Radio 1 (as well as others) podcasts, etc.

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Just podcasts, I think.

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

Oops, ignore my last post. There are two different plugins:

BBC content viewer: Podcasts etc
BBC iPlayer: iPlayer!

This was fixed in totem-plugins-extra 2.27.92-0ubuntu2
