The situation is getting even more mysterious. Today I upgraded to the new versions that were uploaded to unstable: [...] [UPGRADE] gecko-mediaplayer:amd64 1.0.8-1 -> 1.0.8-2 [UPGRADE] gnome-mplayer:amd64 1.0.8-1 -> 1.0.8-2 [...] [UPGRADE] libgmlib1:amd64 1.0.7-1 -> 1.0.8-2 [UPGRADE] libgmtk1:amd64 1.0.7-1 -> 1.0.8-2 [UPGRADE] libgmtk1-data:amd64 1.0.7-1 -> 1.0.8-2 [...] The result was that gecko-mediaplayer stopped working for *any* video. After restarting iceweasel, loading http://content.funny-base.com/videos2/trunkmonkey01.wmv led to a blank (white) page (after enabling javascript): nothing happened, no video playing, no video download dialog window, ... Loading http://www.funny-base.com/videos/792-trunkmonkey01.html led to a page that lacked the area supposed to embed the video (again, after enabling javascript), and no video was played. Even other video formats (such as .mp4 ones, which used to work, without ever claiming to require additional plugins) stopped working (blank page). I was really puzzled. I tried to downgrade gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer: # dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gecko-mediaplayer_1.0.8-1_amd64.deb \ /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-mplayer_1.0.8-1_amd64.deb After restarting iceweasel, I checked the video formats which used to work (.mp4) and they worked correctly again. More and more puzzled, I tried to upgrade gnome-mplayer again (while keeping back gecko-mediaplayer/1.0.8-1): # dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-mplayer_1.0.8-2_amd64.deb After restarting iceweasel, all videos seem to work correctly: .mp4, .mov (for instance in http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/mpeg4/streaming/example.html), .mpg, .avi, even .wmv (http://content.funny-base.com/videos2/trunkmonkey01.wmv and http://www.funny-base.com/videos/792-trunkmonkey01.html). If I also upgrade gecko-mediaplayer again # dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gecko-mediaplayer_1.0.8-2_amd64.deb and I restart iceweasel, every video stops working again (blank pages for .mp4, .wmv, ...). Downgrading gecko-mediaplayer again fixes the issue: # dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gecko-mediaplayer_1.0.8-1_amd64.deb Any idea of what's going on?
