Flash video doesn't show (works fine in other browsers)

[Salve J. Nilsen]

Binary package hint: firefox

There's an embedded youtube video at http://wiki.kaizendo.org/ that doesn't show in Firefox. I can't see what's wrong (the code seems pretty standard to me) so I'm guessing that there might be something in the browser.

Tried this on several Lucid installations, and none show. Chromium shows the video nicely.

Seems to be, that I have the same bug.
FF doesn't play youtube videos in ubuntu 10.04, but plays sounds from the same videos.
I can see only a grey rectangles at the video area. Mouse clicking at the video area works well.
Important, that some flash videos on the other sites are played correctly, e.g. on rutube.ru.
Chromium also plays youtube videos correctly.
Bug appeared after several time of using ubuntu, maybe after updating, but not immediately after installing distro.

So I have a screenshot.

This bug is not valid any more. The reason for flash not showing in firefox: The page had a malformed attribute in the <object> element, that Firefox correctly ignored but Chromium incorrectly parsed.

PLEASE CLOSE THIS ISSUE.

[Salve J. Nilsen (sjn)]

The error was an "defang_src" attribute to the <object> element; that should have been just "src".

[Max (mgong)]

I'm sorry, but I have no "defang_src" attribute in ff. This is html code concerned to embedded video.

<object style="height: 344px; width: 425px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qtHU_rxtwgc"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qtHU_rxtwgc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></object>

Same code in chromium.
