GStreamer | gst-plugins-bad | Ver: HEAD CVS
Summary: [mmssrc] no support for socks proxies
Product: GStreamer
Version: HEAD CVS
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: gst-plugins-bad
AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
ReportedBy: hadess at hadess.net
QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
GNOME version: Unspecified
GNOME milestone: Unspecified
mmssrc (and libmms) don't seem to support socks proxies.
(my pretty bad) reproducer:
1. Setup a socks proxy on a remote machine (I'm in France on holidays, ssh'ing
to a UK-based machine):
ssh -N -f -D 8080 myhomemachine.org.uk
2. Setup the proxy (socks in gnome-network-preferences, set to
"localhost:8080")
3. Use epiphany to access http://www.ip-adress.com/
4. Yay, based in the UK (going to the BBC iPlayer page works)
5. Try to use a Windows Media stream on the BBC website that would be
restricted to the UK: no workie, because libmms/mmssrc doesn't have socks5
proxy support.
The socks proxy settings are recorded in GConf under /system/proxy/socks_host
and /system/proxy/socks_port
Right now, I'm using tsocks, and LD_PRELOAD tricks:
