Public bug reported: Binary package hint: totem
Summary: Totem 2.18.0 in Ubuntu Feisty Beta (using today's repository, xine-lib 1.1.4 and today's GStreamer 0.10.12) only plays the *first* video in a master-playlist containing nested asx sub-playlists (in a playlist tree with arbitrary depth). Microsoft media player iterates over all sub-playlists (the nodes/leaves of the tree) correctly and plays *all* the videos in the nested playlist. The master asx playlist (the root of the tree, listed below) contains further references to other nested asx sub-playlists as in a tree of playlists. Each sub-playlist leaf contains only one mms: video stream element each which should be played. Each sub-playlist is successfully played by totem if started manually, but totem fails to iterate over all of them if given the master playlist to play. Steps to reproduce the bug: totem "http://mrc.gran.googlepages.com/example-nested-playlist.asx"; Results: - only the first item of the master-playlist above is shown. - each item can be played successfully if manually started using the sub-playlist urls (see list of urls below). - *sometimes*, totem can be made to iterate over some of the master playlist items if the 'next item' button is pressed repeatedly without stopping. Comments: - Microsoft media player fetches/plays each asx sub-playlists and mms: streams inside them synchronously (depth-first, blocking the iteration that fetches the next asx sub-playlist contents until the current videostream is over or cancelled). - maybe totem is doing this asynchronously (breadth-first, fetching the contents of all asx sub-playlists before starting to play the first videostream)? The master playlist in the root of the tree (pointing to nested sub-playlists) given as example: <asx version = "3.0"> <entry> <ref href="http://playervideo.globo.com/webmedia/GMCMidiaASX?midiaId=654705|banda=N|ext.asx"/> </entry> <entry> <ref href="http://playervideo.globo.com/webmedia/GMCMidiaASX?midiaId=660298|banda=N|ext.asx"/> </entry> <entry> <ref href="http://playervideo.globo.com/webmedia/GMCMidiaASX?midiaId=660285|banda=N|ext.asx"/> </entry> <entry> <ref href="http://playervideo.globo.com/webmedia/GMCMidiaASX?midiaId=659836|banda=N|ext.asx"/> </entry> </asx> ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Apr 4 19:24:29 2007 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/totem Package: totem-xine 2.18.0-0ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcCmdline: totem ProcCwd: /home/mgranado/tmp/globo ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/home/mgranado/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SourcePackage: totem Uname: Linux mg376 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP Wed Mar 21 20:55:46 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux ** Affects: totem (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Totem does not play asx playlist trees correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103009 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for totem in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
