Proposed patch

Description of problem:

Due to a recent change that occurred on Apple trailers website (http://www.apple.com/trailers/) it is not possible to play videos from that site even with the appropriate GStreamer plug-ins.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

totem-2.16.7-6.el5

How reproducible:

100% reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open for example http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/upintheair/large.html with firefox under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  
Actual results:

An error message stating that "text/html decoder plugin is required to play this stream"

Expected results:

Either the stream plays (if the appropriate GStreamer codecs are installed) or Totem complains that the codecs for Quicktime are missing (ie not text/html).

Additional info:

This issue has been addressed upstream by patching gstreamer-plugins-good:

    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592665

While this works in Fedora, this does not fix the issue in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 because the gst plug-in gstsouphttpsrc is not built nor installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Instead, this needs to be changed in totem-mozplugin itself on el5.

Nope, it's been fixed in Totem itself:

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2009-11-06 18:53:52 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".

Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2010-08-09 18:52:31 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
