An update... Those errors were because the shell I was executing from didn't have the env. variable pointing to the pulseaudio server. If I do:
$ PULSE_SERVER=10.75.22.1 gst-launch playbin uri=http://ftp.gui.uva.es/pub/multimedia/movies/elephantsdream/elephantsdream-720-h264 -st-aac.mov It does work as you can see: Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is PREROLLING ... Pipeline is PREROLLED ... Setting pipeline to PLAYING ... New clock: GstAudioSinkClock And I can see and hear the video. Now if I take that lesson to totem, still no joy: $ PULSE_SERVER=10.75.22.1 totem http://ftp.gui.uva.es/pub/multimedia/movies/elephantsdream/elephantsdream-720-h264-st-aac.mov ** (totem:22703): DEBUG: Init of Python module ** (totem:22703): DEBUG: Registering Python plugin instance: BBCViewer+TotemPythonPlugin ** (totem:22703): DEBUG: Creating object of type BBCViewer+TotemPythonPlugin ** (totem:22703): DEBUG: Creating Python plugin instance ** (totem:22703): WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name ** (totem:22703): DEBUG: Init of Python module ** (totem:22703): DEBUG: Registering Python plugin instance: YouTube+TotemPythonPlugin ** (totem:22703): DEBUG: Creating object of type YouTube+TotemPythonPlugin ** (totem:22703): DEBUG: Creating Python plugin instance ** Message: no file info ** Message: Error: Resource not found. gstfilesrc.c(1018): gst_file_src_start (): /GstPlayBin:play/GstFileSrc:source: No such file "/pub/multimedia/movies/elephantsdream/elephantsdream-720-h264-st-aac.mov" It still seems to be trying to strip the network portion of the URL off and play a local file. -- won't open an http uri https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306557 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to totem in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
