Description 2porcupines 2023-07-01 17:25:06 UTC
Some videos fail to load when using the newer ffmpeg6 with Firefox.
These videos do work on ffmpeg4 and 5 with the same version of Firefox

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile and install ffmpeg7 (added ~amd64 in package.accept for ffmpeg)
2. Close existing Firefox sessions
3. Go to websites and see those errors
Actual Results:  
Websites that were tested that work:
Youtube.com
Spotify.com

Websites that were tested that do not work:
Twitch.tv - "This video is either unavailable or not supported in this browser. (Error #4000)"
Twitter.com - Fails to load
Reddit.com - From the browser itself - "To play video, you may need to install the required video codecs"
Dailymotion - "Browser not compatible, you may need to update your browser"
Weather.com - Video not playing

Expected Results:  
Videos should play, as they did with previous versions of ffmpeg

emerge -pv firefox ffmpeg

Comment 1 Joonas Niilola gentoo-dev 2023-07-02 16:51:42 UTC
I don't believe this will be fixed. ESR for 115 is out already, and 102 will receive 2-3 more releases until support for it is gone. If you find a patch to support ffmpeg-6 with 102-ESR then that can be added, but I won't bother chasing this issue.
Comment 2 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-09-25 19:24:33 UTC
Could we stable 115 ESR now that ffmpeg-6 is stable please?
Comment 3 Joonas Niilola gentoo-dev 2023-09-26 06:33:40 UTC
Yes, it was the plan to stabilize 115.3.0 which is out today.
Comment 4 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-09-26 15:13:44 UTC
Thanks!
Comment 5 Lucio Sauer 2023-09-26 17:31:22 UTC
Would restricting =firefox-102* to <ffmpeg-6.0 have been or be an option?
I did not expect stable firefox + ffmeg to break like this and it took me quite some time to figure it out. 

Though I suppose, I should check the Gentoo bug tracker more frequently.

Yes, we probably should've done it, although it's a bit late now. But we're stabling new Firefox now.

If it's just a build failure, then it's a cheap and working fix. But if ffmpeg-6 breaks runtime, we'd need to revbump firefox causing everyone to rebuild it regardless...

And judging from #c1 it's a runtime issue. Yeah, should've restricted it much earlier :I

Yes, it's a runtime issue, my wording was not ideal.

Well, the new stable release is in sight :) Thank you for your efforts!
Comment 9 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-12-15 07:13:40 UTC
All done, I think.
