Hi,
it's been 2 months already[1] since Apple has changed the way they stream
trailers from Apple.com/trailers, and ever since totem chokes on it.
According to the last comment[2] on that post, this issue has already been
fixed on gecko-mediaplayer. Any plans on implementing a similar fix on totem
as well, considering it is the default media player plugin shipped by
Fedora?
For the record: I blame this totally on Apple, and it sucks to play catch
up, but it's not the first time this happens, and it won't be the last
either...
BTW: I know there's a workaround involving wget and a custom user-agent id,
but it's somewhat cumbersome, and it's annoying that this is taking so long
to be fixed (even considering it's not a totem bug per se).
I agree that it's a total pain in the neck.
On the Centos list I was given this url:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1245441&page=4
which takes you to a discussion that tells you how to fix the problem
using the firefox user agent switcher add-on.
It works on my Centos box, but I tried the same on F11 on my eeepc and
it didn't solve it there. I make no guarantees, but you may want to look
into it 'cause maybe you'll be the lucky one where it works! :)
Tried it on F11. Didn't work.
I find it interesting that the Apple TV ads do play on F11, which is an
admission that QT is a niche format.

I just installed gecko-mediaplayer (F11) and it plays the trailers at
apple.com just fine.
