Bad cache managing in video playing

[Patrice Vetsel]

I'm under feisty.

I'v a little bandwidth connection (512DSL). Using firefox, i want to see big quality trailers.

Problem :
i'v put 56kbps Modem/RNIS under totem preference.
Using gconf-editor i'v changed "buffer-size" to 10sec for totem.

But with that, when i launch a big quality trailer, totem under firefox try to play less than 1sec after starting (too fast, cache is empty), and freeze each seconds.

Conclusion : with little connection, totem is unusable under firefox.

I must add that without firefox, just with totem. Using this link :
http://images.apple.com/movies/touchstone/the_invisible/the_invisible-tlr2_h640w.mov

buffer-size set to 20 seconds for totem with gconf-editor. When i open this link, i can see the cache reloaded 5 times in the 20 first seconds... freezing video etc.

Normally if i have a 100%cache i must have (almost) 20sec of videos in cache.

do you use totem-gstreamer or totem-xine?

totem-gstreamer

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

For a network play it's not buffer-size but network-buffer-threshold.
Putting this 2 parameters at 20seconds don't resolv anything

Thank you for the details. Looks like an upstream problem, somebody having it should probably forward that to bugzilla

Closing this bug as totem 2.17.91-0ubuntu2 works fine now
