Time slider isn't working on Blender tutorial videos

[Kirk Fraser]

Binary package hint: firefox

The Blender.org video tutorials were working well under Ubuntu 6.06 but now under 7.04 the time slider fails. Even though the new video driver add-in process was much much much better in 7.04, there is still no direct link to it that I can find to try the second set of drivers. But I happened to see a list in Help under Multimedia Codecs and installed ffmpeg seperately but to no avail on this problem.

I'm hopeful other problems with Ubuntu's syntaxic package manager have disappeared such as only offering obsolete software packages that don't work with other packages preventing the operation of various Sourceforge projects.

Can you please provide a set of step by step instructions on how to reproduce this issue, also can you please try to explain your bug a little better like how does this relate to firefox?
Is it the same in any browser?

1. Go to http://www.blender.org/tutorials-help/video-tutorials/
2. Pick any category such as Getting started.
3, Click on any Mirror 1 icon.
4. Wait for video to load and start playing in Mozilla Firefox.
5. Click on playback time slider near bottom of window.
6. Attempt to move the slider & control the playback.
7. No movement happens.

Tell me what browsers do you want me to test in Ubuntu?

Thank you for the testcase,
     Can you test in epiphany galeon konqueror, I will try to reproduce this with other browsers as well as firefox in the next few days.

"epiphany galeon konqueror" doesn't exist in Ubuntu's Synaptic Package
Manager. Thus it is not available or supported in Ubuntu. Now if you
could get them to free up the package manager to allow user input of new
packages like that, it would be great.

The problem appears to be a difference between the Ubuntu 6.06 where the
video playback slider works and 7.04 where it doesn't. I don't know how you
guys decide which piece of software needs a fix -- Ubuntu to regain lost
function or FireFox to support the Ubuntu system change. Should I report
the bug to Ubuntu also?
