Description of problem: Using the Totem mozilla plug-ins with Firefox ESR 45 only play videos if using a 'file://...' URL. They do not play (black window/tab) with 'http://...' or 'https://...' URLs Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): totem-mozplugin-2.28.6-4 Firefox ESR 45 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to play a movie from a web site Actual results: black window/tab Expected results: Play a movie Additional info: RHEL6 doesn't ship with Firefox ESR 45 (yet?) so I'm using the Firefox binary available from Mozilla - so I'm not sure this is some new 'feature' in Firefox ESR 45 or something needs to be updated with the plug-ins ? The same plug-ins work fine with the Firefox 38 ESR binary from Mozilla The errors I get on the command line when trying to play a movie are: otemEmbedded-Message: totem_embedded_open_uri: uri http://test.internal/sample.mov base_uri: http://test.internal/sample.mov TotemEmbedded-Message: totem_embedded_clear_playlist Emptying current_uri totem_embedded_set_uri uri http://test.internal/sample.mov base http://test.internal/sample.mov => resolved http://test.internal/sample.mov TotemEmbedded-Message: totem_embedded_open_internal 'http://test.internal/sample.mov' is-browser-stream 0 start-play 1 TotemEmbedded-Message: BEFORE _open TotemEmbedded-Message: AFTER _open (ret: 1) TotemEmbedded-Message: Viewer state: PLAYING ** (<unknown>:31029): DEBUG: OpenURI reply ** (<unknown>:31029): DEBUG: 0x7f580550d110: "Command 'Play'" TotemEmbedded-Message: totem_embedded_do_command: Play ** Message: Error: Not Found gstsouphttpsrc.c(914): gst_soup_http_src_finished_cb (): /GstPlayBin2:play/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstSoupHTTPSrc:source: libsoup status code 404
I think I've worked out what is going on here - and it doesn't help that I wasn't comparing like with like (too many variables changing) The first problem was that I had the environment variable http_proxy set - pointing to a proxy that didn't have access to the test movie URL - hence the '404' error above The second problem is that the 'real' (not test) movie(s) are on a site that uses authentication. It turns out that the version of Totem that ships with RHEL 6 (2.28.4) doesn't support http authentication - this was added in 2.29.2 Building Totem 2.29.2 'fixes' the problem - and the movies play fine with Firefox ESR 45 - and ESR 38 So I think this BZ can be closed - although it would be nice if the Totem version could be upped to at lease 2.29.2
