[Bug 421481] [NEW] Viewing Bloomberg.com video locked/crashed Ubuntu Jaunty

[rusivi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-plugin-vlc

1)  sudo lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
Release:	9.04

2) sudo apt-cache policy mozilla-plugin-vlc
mozilla-plugin-vlc:
  Installed: 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/multiverse Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What did you expect to happen?

Using Mozilla Firefox, I wanted Bloomberg.com video pop-up to play with
video and audio in-sync, good quality, and without delay or choppyness.

4)  What happened instead?

After a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 install, full updates, Medibuntu repository
added (skype and skype-common packages installed), was using Mozilla
Firefox on one desk and Skype was running on another, clicked on video
at homepage of www.bloomberg.com entitled, "TrimTab's Charles Biderman
Says Stocks Are 'overpriced'", whose video location is:

http://www.bloomberg.com/avp/avp.htm?N=av&T=TrimTabs%27s%20Charles%20Biderman%20Says%20Stocks%20Are%20%60Overpriced%27&clipSRC=mms://media2.bloomberg.com/cache/vfuYySELQZeo.asf

The pop-up had a black screen where the video should play (looked like
totem) and then stated how it needed to find the right plugin.

I installed via Synaptic Package Manager mozilla-plugin-vlc, accepting
all default recommended installs as presented.

Restarted Firefox, launched link above, 1 minute delay while pop-up
stated, "Waiting for video".  The video began but it was zoomed into the
video seemingly 175% or normal view.  Both video and audio were clear,
in-sync, and not choppy.  After 5 seconds, the OS locked up, could not
move mouse, red vertical lines were drawn on the top panel.
