Description Nick Steeves 2005-07-28 10:11:48 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          3.4.4 
OS:                Linux

When clicking on a xvid encoded avi, konqueror sends the directory URL to the player application instead of sending the filename URL.  This is applicable for the following players: kaboodle, MPlayer, KMPlayer.

It does not affect: Xine, or noatun.

This is a regression from konqueror-3.4.1.  Please note that it does not affect all xvid encoded AVIs.  For example, everything on this page plays ok:
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~fhoesli/video/index.php

But this AVI does not:
http://gits.no-jutsu.com/gits/[LMF]_Ghost_In_The_Shell_2nd_GIG_-_15_[B3E998A2].avi.torrent

There exists a whole swath of xvid + MP3 encoded files which konqueror handles identically to the not-working one.  That is to say, the video player is sent the URL of the current working directory, instead of the video file.  Oddly enough, AVIs encoded by the same program, with the same version of xvid, and the same audio codec are not handled in the same way.  It's puzzling.

My system configuration is as follows:

CRUX Linux 2.1
----------------
glibc-2.3.5
gcc-3.4.4
binutils-2.16.1
xorg-6.8.2
qt3-3.3.4
libxvid-1.0.3
xine-lib-1.0.1
kde 3.4.2

I will attach konqueror full debug konsole output in three files, for three test cases.  File1 designates an xvid from the ethz.ch website.  File2 designates the xvid from the torrent.
