 |
|
Hey
Have been looking aroud a bit on the forum for this problem, but can't find anything on it. The thing is that if I enter a page which has some embeded video file, Firefox will with no exceptions die. Anything that uses the mplayerplug-in will make it crash on me. I've tried recompiling both the browser and the plug-in, to no results what so ever. Any ideas?

What are your mplayer and mplayer-plugin versions ?
Try launch firefox in a console to see the error message when it crash . |

Ok, will do.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

| This issue was recently discussed. -gtk2 is evil for mplayerplug-in. Compile it with USE="gtk2" and see if that helps. Did on my system (x86) |

I had this same issue but I recently fixed it (I don't even really know what I changed, it just started to work). I have firefox 1.0.4 installed and I installed mplayerplug-in 2.80. I checked about:plugins and everything was listed but whenever I tried viewing a video or anything, a blank box would appear where the video should. If I tried to access the file directly it would only ask to download it. As soon as I closed the window firefox would crash. I then removed mplayerplug-in completely and this time I installed it with -gtk2. I now saw an error where the video would be that said something about a type mismatch (firefox being gtk2 and mplayerplug-in being gtk). I again uninstalled mplayerplug-in and reinstalled it this time with gtk2. Now for some reason it works perfectly. I can stream the videos and firefox no longer crashes.
A bug report was filed. It can be viewed by going to: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93546 |
