Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run firefox-3.6.2 from the shell prompt.
2. Open the URI http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/
3. Totem hangs after a while. Check out the log messages.

Actual Results:  
1. Totem hangs after a few tries to open the video stream.
   Check out the log messages.

Expected Results:  
1. The video stream is displayed in firefox.

From googling around it seems like the cause of the problem is located in libmms, not totem. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libmms/+bug/212064

Works fine here with 2.28

[Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2010-05-07 10:42:32 UTC]

2.28 is already going to stable
