crunchyroll problems again!

[toddfraser88]

I'm having trouble with crunchyroll again.

It appears to load the plugin properly, but the video will not play, just sits there. other sites play just fine.

I'm not sure if it's the plugin this time though, I've rolled back to previous versions, and the problem is still there.

any help?

[toddfraser88]

seems to work fine in chromium, but not firefox, weird.

any help?

Random videos I checked works fine, I can't reproduce. Now I've checked again, and they still work. Can you try to launch Firefox in private mode (firefox -private) and try again?

[toddfraser88]

I tried firefox in private mode - no change for crunchyroll (it also broke my profile and I had to recover it)

I have some output from the console from just after the ad finished and just before when the video was supposed to play.

not sure if it helps.

[toddfraser88]

can you try this in an ubuntu virtualbox VM? thats what I'm using at the moment.

[i-rinat]

Although this issue looks different, give recent version a try. It has a fix for network code, about network name resolution.

Also, does ping cp150757.edgefcs.net resolve name to an IP address? Log mentions proxy addon. Can you try without it?

[i-rinat]

BTW, which version of Ubuntu do you use? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

[toddfraser88]

I'm using ubuntu 64-bit,

ping resolved to an IP Address, but IP Address did not respond to ping

$ ping cp150757.edgefcs.net PING a156.vi5g5.akafms.net (61.9.225.172) 56(84) bytes of data. ^C --- a156.vi5g5.akafms.net ping statistics --- 58 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 57199ms

newer version of fresh player had same result.

Just tried on a fresh Kubuntu 64-bit installation. same result.

[toddfraser88]

I think i disovered the source of the problem,

my router, a mikrotik RB951G-2HnD, seems to be blocking just the crunchyroll player.

not sure why it would be doing that though, or why other sites play just fine.

is there anyway I could diagnose this?

[i-rinat]

I tried Ubuntu 14.04 on a real hardware, Ubuntu 14.04 in a virtual machine, but with no success. I mean, crunchyroll works. But there is one notable difference. I don't see advertisements for some reason. All blocker scripts are disabled in my browser, but I see only some flashes of "Advertisement: 0" strings and then it plays video. Probably that was the cause.

Error 66 from libevent's evdns is a generic internal error, something that should never happen. It could be some unsupported DNS reply format, or library bug, or even memory corruption, where some part of program writes where it shouldn't write and tampers data.

BTW, which libevent version do you have?

[toddfraser88]

libevent 2.0.5

but yeah I think it might be my router doing it, I switched the VM to my mum and dads network and it worked fine.

It's weird though, because it's working fine outside the VM, as well as inside the VM if I use cromium.

[toddfraser88]

I can confirm it's Mikrotik RouterOS thats causing this, I setup a simple RouterOS gateway VM on my Mum and Dads network and the problem was reproduced.

Do you want to try this for yourself?

I tried it and indeed reproduced the same issue as you had. After some digging I found interesting hack which is used nowadays to defend against DNS poisoning attacks. Clients send queries in randomized case, i.e. something like GooGlE.cOm instead of plain google.com. Correct DNS implementation maintains case in response, but actual lookup is performed in a case-insensitive manner. Clients check whenever returned name is the same that was requested. Here comes the main part. Mikrotik responses are all lowercased, and thus don't match with requests. That's considered as an error, and connection fails at name resolution time.

[i-rinat]

Added randomize_dns_case config option in 93e0a99de8c9b778a47931c4dfb307f4e250f7cb.

Add randomize_dns_case = 0 line to ~/.config/freshwrapper.conf file. That will disable mixed case trick, and should solve the issue.

It works! you are awesome!! Thanks very much!!!
