[totem-plugin-viewer] unable to parse .asx

[Tuomas Aavikko]

Binary package hint: totem

Running up-to-date intrepid
While opening popular Finnish site http://yle.fi/elavaarkisto/ equivalent to BBC
trying to view content, plugin-viewer launches, but doesn't play the content
Whilst clicking the player window, error appears, You don't have permissions to open this file.

Steps to reproduce
Firefox→ http://www.yle.fi/elavaarkisto/?s=s&g=1&ag=4&t=410&a=6126
Clicking the "realplay" icon under the Picture (javascript:;) it opens a popup window with the player,
File doesn't load, and clicking the player windows, you'll get the error message.

Manually downloading the file and getting the correct url, I'm able to play that file

wget http://www.yle.fi/player/288629.asx%3Fs=1000 results in ERROR 404
wget http://www.yle.fi/player/288629.asx downloads the file,

cat 288629.asx
<ASX><ENTRY><TITLE></TITLE><REF HREF="http://195.248.86.140/player/28/86/288622_1.wmv"/><REF HREF="http://194.252.88.103/player/28/86/288622_1.wmv"/><REF HREF="http://mfile.akamai.com/21878/wmv/yle.download.akamai.com/21878/archive/28/86/288622_1.asx?prop=e"/></ENTRY></ASX>

Where I copypaste the correct URL "http://194.252.88.103/player/28/86/288622_1.wmv"
Which one opens in totem, so it isn't codec issue.

[Tuomas Aavikko (taavikko)]

It seems to be somekind of an charset issue, since ? is replaced by %3F

Next works fine
totem http://www.yle.fi/player/288124.asx?s=1000

But the one in fferror.log
http://www.yle.fi/player/288124.asx%3Fs=1000
Doesn't

The above was spotted by one Finnish users, thanks to him.

[Antti Ruonakoski (anttimr)]

I'm running Intrepid beta (i386) and I'd like to confirm this bug.

This is a snippet from the error log. IMO, resolved uri should not be url-encoded. I guess the bug was introduced in http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/totem/trunk/browser-plugin/totem-plugin-viewer.c?r1=5441&r2=5440&pathrev=5441

This regression makes a major Finnish streaming media site to just-not-work for Intrepid users.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

this needs to send upstream to bugzilla.gnome.org for forwarding instructions please have a look to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME ; leaving this as incomplete until that, thanks.

[Tuomas Aavikko (taavikko)]

Reported to upstream.. Thank you Pedro for an advice to where to send it.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

thanks you for sent it there.

[Tuomas Aavikko (taavikko)]

Issue has fix committed in
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/totem?view=revision&revision=5756

does remove bug watches automatically update its status?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the upstream watches are automatically updated, changing the ubuntu one now

[Tuomas Aavikko (taavikko)]

Needs also to fix, prior this bug fully resolved.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395827

Tried to add it to "Affects" list but unable (don't know how :) )

[Tuomas Aavikko (taavikko)]

This might be totally different problem or maybe not...

Multiple Finnish sites uses streaming media content over http://
And all of them fails to open. With error dialog, descriped in the first post.
I'll suspect this affect other users from other countries as well..

If it done via mms:// mmsh:// they work, via totem-plugin in firefox
When http:// is opened directly on totem-movie-player content plays
If correct decoders are installed

[Tuomas Aavikko (taavikko)]

As of todays updates, website above is working.
Changelogs doesn't indicate that specific fix has been made for this,
other than new upstream version.

This bug can be closed as it is.

[Antti Ruonakoski (anttimr)]

Fixed since totem 2.24.3-0ubuntu1
