Totem unable to play youtube videos

The same with me. Cannot play any youtube video in Totem, same message. Youtube on Firefox runs well.

Linux Mint 9, Totem 2.30.2

Happened to me too, confirming. Also, I see this on the terminal several times:

$ totem
libgdata-Message: Unhandled XML in GDataYouTubeVideo: <yt:accessControl action="comment" permission="allowed"/>
libgdata-Message: Unhandled XML in GDataYouTubeVideo: <yt:accessControl action="videoRespond" permission="allowed"/>

confirm, same messages in terminal

Forwarded to upstream as https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625441

Upstream patch is there : http://git.gnome.org/browse/totem/patch/?id=50027abd715acc24978e7830162c70c7e1a05811 but it looks like another change was recently made on the youtube side.

I am now getting a 403 response instead :

** Message: Error: "http://v8.lscache2.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Coc%3AU0dXRVdPUV9FSkNNN19PSVVD&fexp=907111%2C904518%2C907800&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=34&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1280743200&key=yt1&signature=380CA17071CE78D01C077806733B7E8EE14CEA74.59CE37909AE619AFEE9C0BE84BD7DA7AA160E609&factor=1.25&id=52222704e547a4ef": Forbidden

403 Forbidden

confirmed, the git change leads to a 403 error

Excerpt from an IRC conversation with a totem developer:

<mirsal> Does the youtube plugin work in master ?
<pwithnall> Yes, but only if you use giosrc rather than souphttpsrc
<mirsal> How can i use giosrc ?
<pwithnall> You'd need to change the ranking of your GStreamer elements

Sorry, but I have to report that playing Youtube on Totem isn't working. Within all updates including proposed, the error is still the same.

But I must also confess that I have no idea how to switch from souphttpsrc to giosrc. Could somebody please explain how to?

same here. it was a good solution for me cause flash player in FF kills my celeron cpu.

please fix it soon. thanks a lot

Hi,
I am also getting same error. I cannot play youtube videos directly from my Movie Player 2.30.2.
Hope this will be fix soon, can't wait to use this awesome app.

thanks..

Hi, I have applied the patch from git://git.gnome.org/totem,
commit 50027abd715acc24978e7830162c70c7e1a05811
to the totem package in lucid.
I have made a debdiff and debs are in my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~barcc/+archive/ppa

does the backport fix the issue?

  Thanks B Clausius, I updated four totem packages on my system with the
ones from your ppa and this solved the issue. --> I can use the youtube
plugin in totem again to watch the clips. :-)

B Clausius` updated packages work just great for me.
YouTube works again, I can search and play videos.

Good job B Clausius :D

I can search videos, but when i try to play them i just see a black screen.. no video, no sound.

Can see videos from files?

Do you mean local saved *.flv videos from youtube? Yes i can.

@Jens
Some file are not streamed, but stored in /tmp/totem-* and played by totem if fully downloaded. This can take a long time. Please look at /tmp/ directory, whether there is such a file with increasing size. If so, that's a problem not related to this bug.

Ok, thank you.

the issue is still there, talked to upstream and opened a new bug here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629692 ; feel free to subscribe to it, thanks.

looks to be caused by the fluendo plugins, could you try to remove that set of plugins and try to play the videos again? worked fine here after removing those. Thanks.

Me, I don't have those plugins installed. So not my case...

could you get a debug log then? thanks.

I'm not really sure if this is what I was expected to do, I ran the command "totem --debug" in the terminal and this is the output. Is this what u need?

we need one with gstreamer symbols, please run it as: GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 GST_DEBUG=5 totem &> totem-debug.txt ; compress that resulting file and attach it to the report, thanks. which version of Ubuntu are you running there?

Here it is, hopefully correct now... I'm running 10.04. And I also use pulseaudio with pulseaudio-equalizer.

I am having this same issue on 10.04 64 bit.

My GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 GST_DEBUG=5 totem &> totem-debug.txt is attached.

I tried totem_plugins_youtube.py.patch patch, but there is no /usr/lib/totem/plugins/youtube/youtube.py.

When I run the patch I get the error
Hunk #1 FAILED at 337.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED — saving rejects to file /usr/lib/totem/plugins/youtube/youtube.py.rej
Any ideas ?

I understand this works in 10.10, is there a backport, what gives.

Running 10.10, and no joy with totem and youtube. It handles other videos fine though.

I'm closing this report as Fix released, if someone still experiencing this issue, please run in a terminal ubuntu-bug fluendo to open a new updated report.
Thanks
Fabio
