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! :)


Many Thanks to this message, cnn is working again.
