Mplayer plugin for Mozilla crashed on video stream

Then I try to view stream video in Firefox, mplayer plugin started and Firefox crashed immediately. I run FireFox under strace. The error is

GLib-ERROR **: file gmain.c: line 2008 (g_main_dispatch): assertion failed: (source)

Sometimes, plugin is started without crash, but resolution of video stream is very low, because plugin  use very low bitrate (about 5Kbytes/s), although bandwith of my ADSL connection is 2Mbit/s

FireFox-2.0.0.3 (2.0.0.4 crashed every time with the same error)
mplayer-plugin 3.40
glib2 2.12.11-1
ArchLinux 0.9 Duke

Thanks for any suggestions

Re: Mplayer plugin for Mozilla crashed on video stream

Hi PavelZh
I had a similar problem some time ago : see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=31218 for a discussion about that.
The mplayer-plugin package has to be compiled with the xulrunner version which is in sync with the current Firefox version.
So you may try to re-build the package using the abs tree, after having installed xulrunner 1.8.1.4-1 (if it is not already) for Firefox 2.0.0.4, or xulrunner 1.8.1.3-1 for Firefox 2.0.0.3.
Or you may write a Bug report for that problem to be considered.

Re: Mplayer plugin for Mozilla crashed on video stream

berbae, thank you for answer.

I upgrade xulrunner to 1.8.1.4-1, firefox to 2.0.0.4 and rebuilt mplayer-plugin via ABS
Running firefox after upgrade first time mplayer-plugin works properly. But all next launches finished with crash.
Sometimes plugin started, but controls doesn't work and CPU load about 100%, so I can only terminate it.

The same problem in Slackware http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … p?t=549302

So, I built old mplayer-plugin 3.35 and installed it. No more crashes in firefox 2.0.0.4 for me. I need to rebuilt mplayer - some libraries upgraded after pacman -Syu

Full screen mode work normally, if video output switched to 'gl' (my videocard is Intel i855G)
Bitrate (or resolution) still detect unproperly on some streams.

Re: Mplayer plugin for Mozilla crashed on video stream

On my machine here is what I experimented at the CNN site :
mplayer-plugin 3.40 compiled with xulrunner 1.8.1.3-1 : crash with Firefox 2.0.0.4 after viewing a video (Erreur de segmentation)
mplayer-plugin 3.40 compiled with xulrunner 1.8.1.4-1 : no crash with Firefox 2.0.0.4 after viewing videos (No errors reported)
After rebuilding the package it seems to work on my machine.
I don't know why it doesn't work for you.

Edit : I have written a Bug report (#7358 with Severity Medium -- maybe not enough)
