Totem not listing available BBC content

[Tony Mugan]

Binary package hint: totem

When I attempt to list the available content using the BBC iPlayer plugin, I get a consistently occurring error

Programme has no HTTP streams
Programme has no HTTP streams
Programme has no HTTP streams

Although I am not in the UK (Sydney, Australia), I can see the content on the BBC website using Firefox.

I have another machine running Lucid Lynx that is able to list the content using the BBC Plugin in Totem.

This is working for me on Maverick final. Are you still getting this error on Maverick final?

[Tony Mugan (tmugan)]

@madbiologist

Still happening for me in Maverick with all the latest updates applied.

[madbiologist (me-again)]

Possibly the same bug as bug #656395.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Pedro,

I have just tested in Oneiric with all the latest updates and get exactly the same behaviour.

I'm happy to perform any tests as advised.

Regards.

I have just tested in Precise Pangolin 12.04 Alpha 2 and there is no improvement.
The BBC iPlayer plugin will show the available channels and categories but any attempt to list programmes will result in the following in a terminal

me@precisepc:~$ totem

[papukaija (papukaija)]

The whole BBC plugin is not included in neither the -plugins or -plugins-extra packages.

[papukaija (papukaija)]

^ For Raring.

The BBC plugin is no longer included in any currently supported release of Ubuntu so closing as this bug report is no longer valid.
