RealPlayer Meta (.ram) files are not played correctly

[Walter Cheuk]

Ubuntu 9.10, Movie Player 2.28.2 using gstreamer 0.10.25

RealPlayer Meta (.ram) files are not associated with Movie Player, and there are not parsed correctly.

Attached the .ram which should start the show immediately, but actually start after 12 minutes and 37 seconds.

A related problem is that the required codecs for playing cannot be installed correctly for the first time opening a .ram file. One have to install the codecs for .asx (Windows Media something) first, open a .ram file, then a dialog box will pop up to let you install the required codecs.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GStreamer is available in both Lucid and Maverick and we are wondering if this is still reproducible in any of those versions, May you please test and give us of feedback about it? Thanks in advance.

In 10.10 alpha 2 (with most-recent updates, Totem 2.30.2), the problems just remain the same:
1. The start time parameter is not parsed.
2. The time bar is not scrollable, together with point 1, one have to wait for the leading start time to elapse to start watching the actual show (the time bar is scrollable while playing .asx file now, as I reported in bug #350075)
3. Cannot install required codec on double-clicking. The file can only be played after install codecs for .asx file.
4. The icon of the file does not show it is a media file, though double-clicking it will open it in Totem.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GStreamer is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance.
