ignores qtnext

[Alex Mauer]

Binary package hint: totem

For video sites that play a sequence of videos using "quicktime" (including mp4), the sequence is described using an embed tag with qtnext attributes. For example:

<EMBED SRC="nameof.mov" WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="240"
       QTNEXT1="<http://www.apple.com/quicktime/movies/sample.mov> T<myself>"
       QTNEXT2="<rtsp://www.apple.com/quicktime/movies/sample.mov> T<myself>"
       QTNEXT3="<URL> T<myself>"
       QTNEXT4="GOTO0" >

Unfortunately, totem's plugin ignores the qtnext tag; totem will play only the first movie.

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Do you have a website example for that?

[Alex Mauer (hawke)]

Feisty.

I set up an example page at http://web.hawkesnest.net/users/hawke/test.html

Quicktime on Windows sometimes has some problems with the actual video encoding, but it will play all 6 videos in turn. Totem plays the first video with no trouble, but then ignores the QTNEXT attributes and so never goes on to the next video.

Thank you for the work on that, I've forwarded the bug upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415640

gecko-mediaplayer plays the above test site properly with patch r340 applied to it.

as browser plugin no longer part of totem.

Closing as bug report is no longer valid.
