Streaming quicktime and streaming windows media player issues #27

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. compile/install/update Firefox plugins
2. http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/
3. http://www.chesslecture.com

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
From both sites get audio but no video (video appears when clicking a link
before Firefox refreshes). For apple.com, can right-click to new tab/window
ok. Other apple.com embedded video play ok. For chesslecture.com, sound
only (streaming windows media) and right click to new window in
mplayer-plugin sometimes works (helix emulation off) but crashes on exit. 
Most other wmp streams appear to work

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox 3.0.11, SLAMD64 2.6.27.7 #1 SMP Sun Dec 7 22:17:42 GMT 2008 x86_64
AMD Athlon(tm) 64, KDE 3.5.10, current svn with gnome-mplayer-0.9.6,
mplayer-2009-05-03-svn.

Please provide any additional information below.
Apple.com not critical; Chesslecture.com is the important one (pay site)
and having to boot into windows is not optimal.

The apple site is a known issue, that I have been unable to work around. It 
involves
DOM Events and DIV Element layering. I added DOM Event support in 0.9.6 and it 
passes
the tests at the Apple QuickTime site, but it still does not appear to work 
with this
site and another Apple site.

As for the chess site I went to http://www.chesslecture.com/sample.php and 
clicked
the first video and selected the low bandwidth option and it played correctly 
for me.
Perhaps you can try that and retest.

hanks.  The weird thing is that the Apple ads used to play (0.9.5) then stopped 
which
prompted me to upgrade to the new version.  

I should have been more specific, yes the chesslecture site works for x86-32 
(eq,
i486 arch for example), but I am having trouble with x86_64 compiled versions. 
Its
why I switched from mplayer-plugin to gecko-mediaplayer. (oooo!  it works on 
the PIII
and P4 box, lets try it on AMD64...)

I develop on x86_64... but I use a 32bit mplayer (due to better codec support 
in 32
bit). Fedora lets me do this without chroots and quite easily.

Issue 40 has been merged into this issue.

I recently upgraded to Firfox 3.5.1 and made no other changes/updates (work 
really
gets into the way...) and now the Apple get-a-mac quicktime videos play fine. 
ChessLecture is ok under x86-32 but goofy under x86-64 (sometimes works, 
sometimes
not). Anyway, they added flash and that works.  Oh well.  maybe someday we will 
have
unified opensource a/v codec standards.....

Works for me.
Tested both the apple.com ads and chesslecture samples mentioned. 
Firefox x86_32 3.5.5
gecko-mediaplayer svn-rev336_11-06-09
gnome-mplayer svn-rev1584_11-05-09
mplayer svn-rev29818_11-03-09

PS: chesslecture is slow to load, but that's their site.

$0.02

I agree that newer firefox corrects it or apple fixed the site
