[Bug 940663] [NEW] LTSP don't support native audio and video in Firefox (HTML5)

[Julian Alarcon]

Public bug reported:

This is a tricky bug.

Today I needed to play a file in a page that was using jplayer player
(jplayer.org).

This player use HTML5 capabilities in the suported Browser.

My installation of LTSP is on Ubuntu 10.04 and is using the new Firefox 10 (that supports OGG and WebM files).
When I tried to listen the file using Jplayer it didn't work.
Then I test a only a file http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Big_Buck_Bunny_small.ogv and... nop...

As I see the problem, I'm not sure where is the problem.

Work a workaround (using Jplayer) go in Firefox to:
about:config
change the flags:
media.webm.enabled
media.ogg.enabled
to false.

Jplayer will fallback to Flash Player.

In chromium is working fine, so the problem is now on Firefox+LTSP
