Firefox 3.0 - Hardy - Mplayer Plugin - Cannot play content

[houstonhilton74]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I have Mozilla Firefox version 3.0.3 ,and I have Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy Haron LTS. I usually expect that when I go to live video streams on the internet, the video is always laoded correctly, with no errors. When I play videos, such as quicktime (.mov) files, or Windows media player files (.wmv), the Mplayer movie player plugin is a hit-and-miss with loading the video images. It loads, says it is buffering the stream, than displays, "Playing http://****." and only plays the audio of movie,and does not show the picture at all. If I'm lucky, sometimes the video images appear. I can only solve this by manually copying the url and playing it the Totem Standalone movie player, version 2.22.1. I have an Acer Extensa, model 4620Z.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest version of Firefox 3.0? Thanks in advance.

I changed to Ubuntu 8.04; gstream plugins w/ firefox worked O.K

I'll reload Ubuntu 9.04 at a later date.

I always had good luck w/ Unbuntu 8.10 - default packages/ plug-ins; and now
I'm having good luck w/ Ubuntu 8.04.  Just couldn't get ANYTHING to work
 when I was using Ubuntu 9.04.

No problem on 3.6.6 .... was having (unrelated?) problem with full-screen
 on videos, but that appears to be gone since latest updates.

 ( it's also possible that I was experiencing the "unrelated" full-screen problems in
    Sea Monkey; can't say for sure )
