i'm using: net-www/mplayerplug-in-2.66 www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.4 when watching embedded movies in webpages, playback is quite fine. but when you leave the page (by clicking back, or clicking another link) firefox crashes. (try the attached url) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start firefox 2.open the url 3.watch the movie (or at least let the movie begin) 4.leave the page (click on another link) Actual Results: firefox crashes Expected Results: forefox that doesn't crashes :|
this bug is similar, but NOT THE SAME as bug 93272
if you would please test latest version of mplayerplug-in. I am working to get it marked stable sometime today. This is version 2.80 that I am suggesting you test.
sorry, even with mplayerplug-in-2.80, firefox crashes, in the same way (as soon as you leave the page with mplayer....) i suspect that this is a firefox bug, because (if i don't remember bad) with earlier version of firefox this didn't happen ("only" lockups were the usual habit) HTH

today i discovered this: if you leave one instance of mplayerplug-in running, you can view other clips normally, and you can close and open others, without crashing firefox. firefox only crashes when you close the last instance of mplayerplug-in. reproducibility: 1.open firefox 2.find some funny clips :) 3.watch one of them, but don't leave the page when playback finishes 4.open a new tab (or a new window) 5.find more funny clips 6.watch them 7.you can close these new tabs/windows or leave the page: no crash happens 8.close the last instance of mplayerplug-in 9.crash! please could someone confirm this behavior?
That is exactly what I get here. I am using mplayerplug-in 2.80.
I was having a very similar problem. Actually it was just like bug 93272, but I already had mplayerplug-in 2.80 installed. Re-emerging mplayerplug-in did nothing, but when I removed it and then reinstalled it, the error was fixed and the mplayerplug-in background came up with a new logo. The strange thing is, while mplayerplug-in was uninstalled, I tried playing a movie in firefox (v. 1.0.4), and it brought up the old mplayerplug-in logo and locked up. xaero, before uninstalling I tried your trick of leaving a tab with mplayerplug-in open. It didn't work for me. Still locked up.
i suspect this is (also) a bug in firefox's handling of plugins. try this sequence: 1.start firefox 2.open a page with a movie (w/ mplayerplug-in) 3.when the movie finishes, open a new tab 4.open a page with flashplayer-plugin 5.you can close the previous tab with the only one instance of mplayerplug-in, and no crash occours. 6.now close the tab with flashplayer-plugin: CRASH!
I can't reproduce the issue with mplayerplug-in, I do have more issues with the flash plugin on x86
Duplicated here, Firefox 1.0.4, mplayerplug-in 2.80. I had that problem in 2.66...I opened a page, the plugin loaded and played the file, then Firefox closed when I closed the tab. Now, I upgraded to 2.80, on the advice of this thread. NOTHING plays in mplayerplug-in (just a blank grey area where the box would normally be), and Firefox closes when I close the tab.
Interesting. Building mplayerplug-in-2.80 with -gtk2 yields a nonfunctional plugin, for me. It does nothing except embed a grey window in the page (and not play anything within it), and then closes Firefox when I close the tab. +gtk2 fixes the nonfunctionality, but Firefox still closes when I close the tab it's in. Nobody has any ideas?
I found a solution! 1) CLOSE ALL FIREFOX OR MOZILLA OR NETSCAPE OR WHATEVER WINDOWS. I don't care what it is, if it uses Firefox to render HTML, close it. 2) emerge -C mplayerplug-in 3) Open a Firefox/Mozilla/whatever window. 4) Close that window. 5) emerge mplayerplug-in 6) See if it works now. It worked for me.
Looks like that is a mozilla issue afterall (probably upstream) If you have a browser instance open and you update that could lead to corruption/missing update in the xpi files.
Rich, that worked for me too _until_ I restarted KDE. I finally got it fixed by running "emerge -C mplayerplug-in" and then doing a "grep -Ir mplayerplug-in" from my home directory. I deleted 2 files, sorry I didn't write down the details before I did, but 1 was in .mozilla/plugins and the other was in .kde3.3/share/applnk/.hidden. Both started with "mplayerplug-in." I _suspect_ the file in the .kde3.3 directory because the problem only came back after restarting KDE. I also deleted some mplayerplug-in files under /var and /usr, but I don't think they were responsible. Again, I'm sorry I didn't record everything I did. One side note is that before I deleted these files, mplayerplug-in still played in firefox even when it was uninstalled. I'm guessing that a cached copy of version 2.66 was still hanging around. After I deleted the files, firefox no longer tried to play videos.
Oops! It wasn't "grep -Ir mplayerplug-in," it was "find -name 'mplayerplug-in*' ... don't know what I was thinking. /blush

Still happens for me on Firefox 1.0.4 & mplayerplug-in 2.85.
The next version of mplayerplug-in, due out soon, should fix some more firefox crashes.
mplayerplug-in 3.01 is out now. Can you please try that. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mplayerplug-in/mplayerplug-in-3.01.tar.gz?download It should fix the crashes.
mozilla-firefox-1.0.4 is no longer in portage No such issues with mplayerplug-in-2.80 or mplayerplug-in-2.85 & mozilla-firefox-1.0.5-r1 or mozilla-firefox-1.0.6-r1
I tried 3.01 (with a custom ebuild) against Firefox 1.0.5-r1/gecko-sdk-1.7.8/mplayer-1.0_pre7 (by making a custom ebuild) and it has the exact same problem. Tested with a video from www.cobaltflux.com - select the video, it comes up and plays completely, then hit Back on the browser and it will shortly die.

I just installed mplayerplug-in-2.8.5 (which compiled gecko-sdk too) after I emerged mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.6-r1 earlier today. Two tests did work just fine (tv news on http://www.zdf.de and http://www.tagesschau.de with wmv codec). In particular, closing tabs were no problem! Also, fullscreen worked and the buttons worked, so overall performance was quite good (much better from what I was used to when I last used the plugin months ago). The only thing I noticed 'til now is that in the latter case (tagesschau.de), the size of the plugin region didn't fit the video size (it was cut at the right so that the seekbar was partly hidden, as well as the fullscreen button). Maybe it's of interest that I'm using mplayer from cvs; I prevented emerge to install mplayer by creating a package.provided file, so maybe these issues have something to do with a particular mplayer version? My system is x86 and I used gcc-3.3.5-20050130 and glibc-2.3.5 (if you want any more info, just ask; I just thought a complete `emerge info` would spam the bugtracker db unnecessarily ;) )
Although version 2.85 fixes the issues for me so far, I gave Kevin's suggestion (to try version 3.01) a shot. I dumped the ebuild for mplayerplug-in-2.85 to portage overlay and mplayerplug-in-3.01 compiled fine. However, the tests I tried before didn't work. I'm only getting a grey area and no stream is loaded (it's not hidden, there really is no traffic). Since the INSTALL seemed to be the same file in both versions, I didn't expect any problems. However, since it doesn't seem to work right out of the box, I downgraded to 2.85.
Sebastian, Sounds like you have a widget set mismatch. If you firefox is compiled with GTK1, you need to compile mplayerplug-in with GTK1. To do that use the '--enable-gtk1' switch with the ./configure command. This is equivalent to having the 'use gtk2' flag not set.
Kevin, was that patch supposed to stop the crashing? I tried adding it to my custom ebuild and it seems to have had absolutely no effect. My browser still crashes when I do a Back after watching a video.
Manual, Can you grab the mplayerplug-in CVS and see if that does not crash? Also, do you know if you are using GTK1 or GTK2 widgets?

Hm, I used the binary package for firefox and didn't find any info on if it was compiled with gtk1 or gtk2 (I assumed that gtk2 was used). mplayerplug-in was compiled with gtk2 (from my USE). I removed the binary package and installed firefox-1.0.6-r2 from source (certainly with gtk2), re-emerged mplayerplug-in-2.85. It doesn't seem to make any difference, sorry :( But I'm mostly fine with it. I'm glad that it's working at all, and for most purposes, I use fullscreen which doesn't have that issue.
Kevin, I tried CVS, same problem. mplayerplug-in is built with GTK+ 2, I'm pretty sure that firefox is built with it as well since the mozconfig eclass depends on gtk+-2.2.0 or higher (there seems to be no way to turn off gtk2 in the firefox ebuild.) Anything I can run to help debug this? The video I'm testing with is http://www.cobaltflux.com/media/CF-SuperStar.mov
(In reply to comment #30) > The video I'm testing with is > > http://www.cobaltflux.com/media/CF-SuperStar.mov Just a notice, it's working fine for me (letting play completely, then press 'Back' to return to this bug page). Are you still trying with firefox-1.0.4? As I noted before, I'm using the 1.0.6-r2 source.
I'm using mozilla-firefox-1.0.6-r2 and gecko-sdk-1.7.8, both built from source ebuilds.
mplayerplug-in 3.05 has been released. Can you please test that.
3.05 seems to work! Yay! I have attached my 3.05 ebuild for people to test.
Created attachment 65713 [details] Ebuild for mplayerplug-in 3.05
3.05 (ebuild + patch taken from bug #100809) works good for me.
Should be fixed with 3.11, so depends on bug #100809
3.11 has been added to portage, feel free to reopen if you're still having a problem.
