Can't seek in mozilla plugin

[Joe Barnett]

Using totem with gstreamer backend, and totem-mozilla edgy packages.

go to http://warrenmiller.com. Click "videos". Pick a video to play. Playback works fine, and the progress bar moves w/ the playback. Try to move the progress bar to seek, and playback freezes. Pressing pause/play twice doesn't recover, but refreshing the webpage does recover playback.

Thanks for your bug. I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365414

Please attach the full output of the plugin when firefox is launch with -debug.
I don't really see how it could be trying to seek on stdin...

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Your bug lacks information we would need to investigate further. We
are now going to close the bug - please reopen if you have more
information at hand.
