The package gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad is installed in version 0.10.23-7.2ubuntu1. But I thought the webm implementation of Firefox was built in Firefox itself (because it's a free codec), and that gstreamer was used only for h.264 videos (due to patent issues) ?

It should give the same result as attached - Open this webm file in Totem or in VLC : it plays correctly - Open this webm file in Firefox 29. When you click on play, it goes directly to the end and does not show anything - Open this same webm file in Chromium (tested with version 34) : it plays correctly If you generate the WebM file on Precise, with the same command-line, it plays correctly in Firefox (see attached P5270914-precise.webm). So I suppose it comes from a difference in the way avconv does the conversion, that is not correctly supported by Firefox All tests are made with Precise and Trusty amd64, with all current updates. Firefox version 29.0 on both avconv 9.13-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 on Trusty, and 0.8.10-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1323822/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
