[Bug 49376] Cannot play video in Firefox plugin

[Vladimír Lapáček]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

I know that there already exist several bug reports against totem
-*firefox-plugin. However, I did not know where to put this one so I am
opening a new one. If you see that this is a duplicate of any existing
one, please tell me so.

Well, my problem is that I cannot play any video located at:
http://ceskatelevize.cz/vysilani
The above url is just a menu where you can select an actual stream. Neither gstreamer nor xine totem plugin does not work, although each gives different results. In the end the stream does not play.

If I try to copy out a stream url from the page source and play it with
stand-alone totem-* I get the same result. If I try to play it with
xine, it succeeds. I suspect that the problem can be in that the url
redirects the player to a new url where the stream actually resides. You
can see that by using wget on the initial stream url.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Vladimir
