Title:
Totem attempts to open a swf file and fails horribly
Status in Totem Movie Player:
Unknown
Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
* Download a Flash swf file and save it somewhere. Here is one:
http://www.swftools.org/swfc/box.swf
* With a default, out of the box Ubuntu install, double click that swf file
to open it.
* Totem will open with an error dialog saying "GStreamer encountered a
general supporting library error."
It is evident that Totem does not understand the SWF format, so it
should not be making this guarantee. (Note that the example I gave is
a very basic example generated by swfc). In its current state,
especially with Totem as the _default_ handler for swf files, this
feature will frustrate and confuse end users.
