[Bug 282020] [NEW] Flash video freezes (not a FF or plugin crash, looks like overlay)

[jaduncan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

When playing videos on flashplugin-nonfree they periodically (1-2 mins
in to a video generally, but fairly randomly) stop updating the video
while the sound plays on perfectly. On moving the window, the video
immediately pops back and updates (to perfectly in sync with the sound).
This can also be caused by moving the web page within the window, moving
another window partly over the video image or positioning a right click
menu so it pops up over the video image. This feels like a video overlay
bug, but only occurs with flash. Totem plugin works perfectly for hours
of video playback, and so does mplayer. Swfdec also does not display
this behavior, even on the same files.

My machine is an x61s Thinkpad with an x3100 video card. The video card
is running on the intel driver, and compiz is not enabled.

Software versions are Intrepid as of 12/10/08, and the relevant packages
are: flashplugin-nonfree (10.0.12.10ubuntu1), xorg-xserver
(1:7.4~2ubuntu7) and xorg-xserver-video-intel (2:2.4.1-1ubuntu6).

The xorg.conf file is autogenerated, but included as an attachment for
completeness.

I am available for followup, and I am willing to test any binaries or
patches.

Many thanks.
