[hardy] videos clips don't play, just load

Thanks for your report, can you provide us of an example or it's happening with all the youtube videos and flash ones? Does it works fine with another firefox profile or new user created on your system? thanks.

I have the same issue, happens on all Flash videos online, did happen to have one load and play, was a little over a minute long, then clicked replay and locked up.

I am running Hardy, with a Nvidia 7600 GT. when I first upgraded my drivers were not loaded and I could not see some images, then loaded the restricted drivers and can see images but will not play flash video. Before the upgrade I was running Gutsy with FIrefox 3 Beta 3 and flash played fine. Could be problems with the nvidia driver.

I also reproduce this issue. This issue can be reproduced inside a brand new firefox profile as well as my current profile. All youtube videos, mac.com videos and google videos have this problem. I don't remember having this problem with Firefox beta 4. It happens with both metacity or compiz. Firefox gives a lot of relevant terminal outputs when I try to start a youtube video concerning murrine engine. Firefox outputs attached.

Using the Human theme instead of the Human-murrine theme fixed this issue for me. human-murrine theme does not seem to disable easily so you might have to change the theme multiple times and to reboot your computer. Can someone confirm that using another theme than murrine is a workaround for that issue?

I am not having luck reproducing this with Hardy AMD64/nvidia and the Human-Murrine theme. If I go to Youtube I can play videos fine for extended periods of time.

I was not using a murrine theme, and tried a couple of others as well still cannot play anything, I am using Core 2 Duo / Nvidia.

Can you try running firefox from the terminal and see if any errors happen? (You must first close all Firefox windows, otherwise running it from the terminal will make it go in background mode.)

same problem, but in the terminal window it gives this error when i close the tab that had the flash video freeze

(firefox-bin:17436): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Yet I can't reproduce this with murrine (or any other theme) anymore, strange.. I remember that when I tried to disable murrine for the first time, it didn't work until I rebooted my computer. Now I can switch between themes without problem and Flash videos always works.

Does anyone see this bug anymore with any themes and please list the themes you see this on. What version of flashplugin-nonfree is installed?

Seems mine is working now after a reboot, also just grabbed whatever updates were available just before the reboot. have not tried it for long periods of time, but it is playing videos all the way through instead of stopping at 2 seconds.

have found something, when I am running VLC and then try to play a flash video it does not work, but if I close VLC and them close and reopen Firefox it works again. seems like what I am experiencing is a problem with the video drivers not liking two videos playing at once.

I am able to watch videos in VLC, and a YouTube video concurrently.

Closing firefox task as everyone said its working.
Vega your last post that you found something is not related to this bug can you please file a new bug and give all info you can on the issue including and not limited to version of all packages involved and step by step instructions on how to reproduce your new bug.

Closing gtk-* task as it is not causing crash anyloger if it ever did.

OK everybody. I found the problem ; It's pulseaudio that blocked the streaming. I found the solution at Ubuntuforums <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=778525> I just killed pulseaudio with the command: " $ pulseaudio -k " and the ended the problem..

Ulsak : Can you reproduce the problem if you reboot your computer?

I am no longer able to test anything as my computer hardware decided to fail and have no plans on fixing this one for awhile. but in my last post i was able to reproduce that result after a reboot consistantly, what Ulsak says about the sound could also be a reasonable explanation since the videos use both sound and video.

Yea, I'm afraid I did that!. In order to view and listen to the
streaming content, I had to kill pulseaudio again..

So what I did this time, somewhat radical but effecient enough, was to remove pulseaudio completely and the restart again, and problems has once again disappeared with pulseaudio, which is cry and shame IMHO..
