Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mozilla-mplayer
In Edgy, using the latest Firefox and latest mozilla-mplayer packages, I cannot play certain Windows Media steams (usually ones with playlists) that I could play with Firefox and mozilla-mplayer in Dapper. If I try to play these streams in Edgy, the plugins keep reloading various URLs, and then stop playback. I have isolated this as a plugin problem; I have tried using a Mozilla build of Firefox 2.0 RC1 with the plugin to play the streams, which did not work, which means it is not the browser, and I have loaded the streams into the MPlayer I'm using. They played back as expected, meaning it is not an MPlayer problem. I have the latest w32codecs package installed. Two example streams that cause this problem (open them in a browser): http://www.nhl.com/video/app?service=page&page=TVVideoPlayer&media=/comp/Forsberg_700.wmv http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/svse/wmedia/sharks_4-15.wvx ** Affects: mplayerplug-in (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- mozilla-mplayer has probelms playing back some Windows Media streams https://launchpad.net/bugs/64284 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
