[Bug 281549] Re: Firefox 3.0 - Hardy - Mplayer Plugin - Cannot play content

[ken]

I always had good luck w/ Unbuntu 8.10 - default packages/ plug-ins; and now
I'm having good luck w/ Ubuntu 8.04.  Just couldn't get ANYTHING to work
 when I was using Ubuntu 9.04.

Status in “firefox-3.0” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I have Mozilla Firefox version 3.0.3 ,and I have Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy
Haron LTS. I usually expect that when I go to live video streams on the
internet, the video is always laoded correctly, with no errors. When I
play videos, such as quicktime (.mov) files, or Windows media player
files (.wmv), the Mplayer movie player plugin is a hit-and-miss with
loading the video images. It loads, says it is buffering the stream,
than displays, "Playing http://****." and only plays the audio of
movie,and does not show the picture at all. If I'm lucky, sometimes the
video images appear. I can only solve this by manually copying the url
and playing it the Totem Standalone movie player, version 2.22.1. I have
an Acer Extensa, model 4620Z.
