Trunk - FE aborts when using MythBrowser

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Ticket information:

While using MythBrowser the FE will crash the second time these CNet urls are used. The first time these videos play without issue. In fact the crash will also occur if any Web link is accessed then one of these CNet urls are accessed.

These CNet urls come from their RSS feeds (e.g. ​http://feeds.feedburner.com/cnet/cnetnewshd?format=xml). Check any URL with a <feedburner:origLink> tag.

Example: ​http://dw.com.com/redir/news_hd_2010-04-12-184432.m4v?destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent.cnettv.com%2Fvideo%2F287383%2Fnews_hd_2010-04-12-184432.m4v%3FADPARAMS%3DBRAND%3D47%7CSITE%3D53%7CSP%3D181%7CPOS%3D100%7CNCAT%3D%3A%3A%3A&amp;ontId=14106&amp;siteId=145&amp;edId=3&amp;asid=50086189&amp;pid=&amp;astId=31&amp;ltype=dl_dlnow

Steps to reproduce the FE abort: 1) Copy the example link above 2) Enter the FE and navigate to "Web" (MythBrowser) 3) Add a new link with the copied URL as the link URL. 4) Click on the new link. The video will play fine. 5) Escape from the video 6) Click on the new link again. MythBrowser will start but while loading the FE will exit.

System info: Distro: Ubuntu 9.10

I suspect this is more to do with the totem plugin you seem to using than MythBrowser.

MythBrowser without that plugin just downloads the file and then ignores it since it doesn't know what to do with the downloaded file.

If the internal player can play it then maybe we should have MythBrowser open it using that rather than rely on some external browser plugin?
