There is some problems playing the stream at: http://mirror.fluendo.com/cortado/ Where totem (actually gnome-vfs) seems to hang. This is really a server- side bug. Its responding with the whole stream as body to a HEAD or PROPFIND request (instead of nothing), so gnome-vfs proceeds to download the whole thing. The Fluendo people have fixed their server, but can't update the live machine in a while (the fix needs testing). http://www.theora.org/ seems to have some other test files. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl@xxxxxxxxxx alla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx He's a suave chivalrous Green Beret She's a foxy African-American angel with the soul of a mighty warrior.
