Swfdec - Nov 2008 - [Bug 18463] New: can't view certain YouTube video, crashes Firefox

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18463

           Summary: can't view certain YouTube video, crashes Firefox
           Product: swfdec
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
               URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqYEN_s9R4o
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: library
        AssignedTo: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: svloon at xs4all.nl
         QAContact: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org


I'm using a recently new installation Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit with swfdec 0.8.0.
When I open the URL specified with Firefox, the video appears to be loaded, but
after a few seconds the Firefox window goes gray, and I have to "Force
Quit"
because it crashed. I know swfdec 0.8.2. is released, but there are no packages
yet for Ubuntu 8.10. To be clear, other YouTube videos do work.

This should be already fixed in 0.8.2 and it should happens only with h264/aac
videos. I know that most distro are not up to date with packages but maybe
filing a "new upstream release" bug in their bts may improve the
situation. In
your specific case you can even try to rebuild the debian package.

The new version 0.8.2 just gave me black screen on the video previously
mentionned. So, FF did not freeze as previously, but no real gain yet.

h264 video playback is available in git master and 0.9.2. In 0.8 tree only the
freeze has been fixed since swfdec policy is to apply only fixes in the stable
tree. Please add yourself to cc in bugzilla #18187 if you want to be updated on
h264/aac support. Thanks.
