Product: mozilla
Component: mozilla
Summary: embedded video does not work(RP & Java/Javascript)
Product: mozilla
Version: 1.4-13mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: mozilla
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I believe this to be a mozilla or Java related problem but it is exhibited in
Galeon and epiphany too.
Test at
http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml
I am using Galeon 1.3.8, epiphany 1.0 and mozilla 1.4.13 with Sun Java 1.4.2_01
java plugin(ns610). It is the same plugin that worked in Mozilla 1.1 & Galeon
1.2 before the MDK 9 to 9.2 upgrade and still works with Phoenix
0.5(fortunately). However, I have tried all the new (1.4.2_01) SUN java plugins
with the same or worse results.
Clicking on one of the "I-VIDEO" links should pop-up a new window with the
embedded Real Player(RP) and begin to play the video. BUT, clicking on a link
sometimes does nothing and sometimes a window is opened. Clicking on the _main_
story video does cause the window to open but embedded real player does not
exist. Instead, RP is opened separately and an error message is produced:
"Some components are not available..."
; that does not seem to be possible since it works in phoenix and worked before.
If I start galeon from the CLI, I get:
** (galeon-bin:8616): CRITICAL **: file mozilla-embed.cpp: line 640 (gresult
impl_can_go_up(GaleonEmbed*)): assertion `location != NULL' failed
** (galeon-bin:8616): CRITICAL **: file mozilla-embed.cpp: line 640 (gresult
impl_can_go_up(GaleonEmbed*)): assertion `location != NULL' failed
every time one of the video links is clicked. I checked some other sites and
the same message is produced.
At Reuters, the 'embedded' video window crashes.
Starting mozilla and epiphany from the CLI do not yield any messages even though
the result(no video) is the same.
I did not find any bugs posted about this here but ,,, This is a major problem
for video news junkies.
Is there a fix for this?
FYI:
Other video/audio sites that do _not_ use RP "embedded" video player work
okay(e.g., CSPAN, NPR...).
