Comment 1 Matěj Cepl 2014-07-14 18:45:35 UTC
But it is somehow intermittent:

Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2014-07-14 18:48:25 UTC
It seems like after a couple of attempts ctstream "se chytí", but not sure why.

Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2014-07-15 07:44:40 UTC
These are intermittent, but frequent, hiccups on the server. If you run the command with `-v' option to get debugging output, you can the "errorSOAP looks like we got no XML document" text comes from the server.

I could check the should-be-URL for URI grammar and die sooner.

I believe this happens if you request the server for a video that is not yet cached, so the server returns gibberish instead of blocking until the video becomes ready or returning proper non-2xx code.

Comment 4 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 17:02:57 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 11:55:37 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
