Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

When trying to play BBC radio streams in firefox (edgy) I get the following error message:
Totem could not play 'rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/6music/live/6music_dsat_g2.ra'.

RTSP streams cannot be played yet.

The default application should be changed back to realplayer as this can play the streams. It is better to get an error message you can fix then one that is impossible to do so unless you know how to code.

If there is another solution I would love to know.

This happens to me to when I use the RealPlayer package from dapper-commercial on Edgy. A crude workaround to get RealPlayer working with the BBC Radio site is to disable the libtotem-complex plugin:

sudo mkdir /disabled-plugins
sudo mv /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libtotem-complex.* /disabled-plugins/
sudo mv /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libtotem-complex.* /disabled-plugins/

I don't know whether the bug is in the firefox, totem, or realplayer packages.
