           Summary: [matroskademux] "reading large block of size 42708909
                    not supported"
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.31
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ashpilkin at gmail.com

     GNOME version: ---


I encountered an MKV video file that, when played over FTP, gives rise to the
above error message, both with "gst-launch-0.10 -v playbin2 uri=$URL" and
"gst-launch-0.10 -v giosrc location=$URL ! matroskademux ! fakesink" (and in
Totem). Overall, this looks totally identical #626463, except for the required
block size.

__tim on #gstreamer said that the block size limit is 15 MB currently; he also
suggested setting GST_PLAY_FLAG_DOWNLOAD on playbin2, but (a) I don't know if
Totem enables it and (b) Matroska is not whitelisted for download buffering
anyway.

Is such a file meant to be supported? (Unfortunately, it's too big to just
upload it somewhere.)
