Description Lukáš Polívka 2016-01-20 00:29:53 UTC
Hi,
I will happily provide any missing details or do any tests.

Description of problem:
For some time now I have not been able to play any videos from my NAS (SMB) or locally in Totem. In both cases (SMB & local) the error message is the same:
An error occured
This file cannot be played over the network. Try downloading it locally first.

I *can* play the file from the CLI using this, for example:
gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///home/spike411/Videos/ducks_take_off_444_720p25.ogg
(plays the video in an OpenGL window with no playback controls)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
totem 3.19.3
GStreamer Core Library version 1.7.1

How reproducible:
Tested with a Theora test video ("ducks") from here: https://wiki.xiph.org/TheoraTestsuite
Also happens with the usual H.264 videos in MKV and MP4 containers. (I do have the necessary gst plugins from RPMFusion.)

Additional info:
System info: http://ur1.ca/ofj1z
Output of opening the file with totem --gst-debug-level=4: http://ur1.ca/ofj3d
Running Gnome 3 on Wayland.

Same issue here. AFAIK, this is fixed by 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760234 

The issue lay in gstreamer1-base 1.7.1 which should hopefully be updated and/or backport-patched. Unfortunately, no gstreamer unstable release currently contains the fix.
see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1306456

It's working now!

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Great, closing then.
