Public bug reported: In Ubuntu it seems impossible to skip through time in streaming video/audio sources from the internet.
More and more tv-programs can be watched over the internet, and you often want to re-watch a particular scene again, but it seems impossible to skip to a certain part in a stream, while normal mpeg/avi files on my harddrive can be skipped without a problem. I've tried both totem with gsteamer, as well as kaffeine with Xine and while they can play the stream fine it is impossible to seek through the stream. Also Pausing the stream is possible, if you turn it to play fast enough, otherwise there will be a time-out and the stream has to be restarted, and since it cannot jump to the position you're currently at, you have to restart the entire stream... I've also tried VLC-movie player and this application CAN jump through time, but this player can't pause streaming media. It also think it isn't as nicely integrated into gnome and firefox as totem is. An example of a stream (which even got time-stamps in its url, which aren't handled either): http://cgi.omroep.nl/cgi- bin/streams?/id/VARA/serie/VARA_101163355/VARA_101163474/bb.20080404.asf?start=0:0:1952.4&end=0:0:2270.5 I don't know which package is related to this bug, since it are probably the streaming-packages, but probably several of them... ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- jump in time in streaming video/audio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216754 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
