Package: mozilla-plugin-vlc Version: 0.8.6.a.debian-2 Followup-For: Bug #400720
Summary: video fails to work when accessed from news homepage. Although this (no video) bug was marked as "fixed" in 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-3, it still exists in 0.8.6.a.debian-2 (on iceweasel 2.0.0.2+dfsg-1). The relationship is a bit complicated, however. My test case are the video newsclips at the Sydney Morning Herald: http://media.fairfax.com.au/?sy=smh&category=Breaking%20News (my apologies if you need to subscribe. subscription is free however). Now when I enter http://media.fairfax.com.au/?sy=smh&category=Breaking%20News directly, then (no video) comes up for a second but is then replaced by the video, so the plugin works here. I notice the url got automatically replaced by http://media.smh.com.au/?sy=smh&category=Breaking+News&source=undefined If however I access the video pages in the "normal" way, by clicking on the "VIDEO NEWS" link on the newspaper's home page at http://www.smh.com.au/ , then a new window pops up, shows the (no video) in the video box as before, but this time the (no video) remains there. It is never replaced after a second by the video. The video fails to be shown. The popup window here has been adjusted by the website so there is no title bar. Clicking on "View Page Info" tells me its url is http://media.smh.com.au/?sy=smh&category=Breaking+News&source=smh.com.au%2F If I enter this url directly then video (clicking on one of the stories listed along the bottom of the window) still fails with (no video). Whether the "source=" entry is the cause of the bug, I don't know, but I can confirm that the same video page works normally after I remove mozilla-plugin-vlc (I think totem-mozilla is picking the video up via libtotem-gmp-plugin.so in that case, assuming the video itself is avi or wmv). I hope this test case helps in finally fixing the fix. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mozilla-plugin-vlc depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvlc0 0.8.6.a.debian-2 multimedia player and streamer lib ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-5 X11 client-side library ii libxt6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii vlc 0.8.6.a.debian-2 multimedia player and streamer ii vlc-nox 0.8.6.a.debian-2 multimedia player and streamer (wi mozilla-plugin-vlc recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
