error message in mplayer on displaying pps movie: could not read from resource

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. always while playing movie, randomly while playing tv serie, from
ppstream in mplayer 
2. same issue, randomly, when moving forward or backward in a tv serie episode
3. second issue: in firefox, cannot see movies on www.pps.tv , the webpage
says that ppstream plugin haven't installed 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
in mplayer, movie is frozen (happens around 30s after the beginning of the
movie) then error message is displayed after a timeout

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ubuntu 9.10

Please provide any additional information below.
I added the plugins through the repositories "ppa.launchpad.net"
Mplayer is working fine and no problem to browse the ppstream channels in it

The mplayer isn't provides by this project. To play pps:// streams in firefox 
please 
install gst-plugins-pps, totem plugins for firefox.

Thanks. I installed the packages a second time and finally got it working, 
ppstream
in Totem player is beautiful... It has been running fine since then. Anyway for 
the
last few days, the problem is getting back: COULD NOT READ FROM RESOURCE !!! I 
can
browse all of the ppstream channels and even get the thumbnails but when it 
comes to
play anything, the fucking error message is back : could not read from resource 
!!!
does anyone else face the same issue ??? no more heroes, supernatural and so 
on...
I'm down, please help !!!

I met exactly the same problem. Can play after install, but error message comes 
out
after three days, 'Could not read from resource.'

Well, based on the comments in issue #6 (http://code.google.com/p/totem-
pps/issues/detail?id=6), it seems that PPS has blocked access from 3rd party 
applications since about the 18th Dec so we're all stuck.

As of today(4/5/2010), it seems that either PPS blocked access from 3rd party 
application again. I am getting the "could not read from resource" in movie 
player. It 
was working fine before the weekend.

OS: Ubuntu 9.10
Movie Player: Totem 2.28.2
totem-pps : 0.0.19.5-0

I'm running into the issue as well. I can't recall when was the last time it 
worked,
it stopped working today. 
I received the following error messages:

I don't get the [ppsvod]User not allowed(0x80000006) error message within the
terminal however the gui suggests i may not have appropriate permissions.

Hi, I am a user of ppstream on windows, I try to read the pps stream directly 
with a player like vlc or media player classic, they can read rmvb stream.

But it does not work, do you know if I need to install a codec, plugin or 
something?
