Firefox Crashes when Streaming Quicktime

pjjanak · 2009-01-05 16:12:13

When I try to view a quicktime movie in Firefox using the mplayer plugin firefox will consistently crash. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Yes, it has started to crash for me too lately.
Didn't used to do that before, but I haven't bothered to find out why yet.

skottish · 2009-01-05 18:25:20

This is strange. GIF?

Selected video codec: [ffgif] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg GIF decoder)

It should be using something like this:

Selected video codec: [ffh264] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg H.264)

Hopefully you're watching or downloading this straight from Apple and not from some random torrent site. You can get it this way too:

wget http://movies.apple.com/movies/fox/ice_age_iii/iceage3-tlrd_720p.mov

Anyway, you may want to try gecko-mediaplayer instead of mplayer-plugin. It's the future plug-in for the Mplayer project. You'll need to use gnome-mplayer though. It's awesome and really isn't part of Gnome.

Same here with bbc radio

Gecko doesn't bring any relief either so I reckon it must be this Gran Paradiso thingy as it never happened to me on a bog standard firefox...

Must investigate.

Yeah, I was getting it from Apple's site. Don't get all NARC on me :-p

I'll try using gecko.

Peter

EDIT:

gecko-mediaplayer seems to be working great. Thanks for the tip skottish!

You know, when you earn the millions that I do being a forum mod, you can never be too careful.

I'm glad that it's working for you.

Firefox has been crashing for me too lately but put it down to maybe a plugin problem.......... will check out gecko-mediaplayer

toad · 2009-01-05 20:15:05

Hm, neither mplayer-plugin nor gecko working for me on Grand Paradiso, Swiftfox or Firefox as per website, this being the usual last few lines I get:

process 24356: arguments to dbus_message_new_signal() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1161.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

./run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 24356 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Will try RealPlayer (desperation!!!)...

toad · 2009-01-05 20:56:51

RealPlayer works on all of them with the BBC.

Installing gecko-mediaplayer worked for me. Mplayer plugin was working fine for all formats but quicktime. x86_64

quicktime movies still crash firefox after last update...

pjjanak · 2009-01-23 19:23:58

Cippa Lippa: Have you tried gecko-mediaplayer?

Peter

scarecrow · 2009-01-23 19:55:38

gecko-mediaplayer works fine here as well (32-bit system).
Using firefox-branded from aur (actually, from an unofficial Arch repo, as it saves me some compile time- but the PKGBUILD is the same as in AUR).
Actually, gecko-mediaplayer works great in opera as well. It does not load at all in seamonkey, and it simply does not work in konqueror (but it does work great with the old KDE 3.5.X konqueror from kdemod-legacy).

Konqueror help is on the way:

Cippa Lippa · 2009-01-24 19:19:54

yes I did and it has stopped working as well - it seems it is loading the movie but it is not showing anything...

Cippa Lippa · 2009-01-24 19:23:47

Konqueror, differently from firefox doesn't crash but I get "nspluginviewer (plugin): ERROR: Can't create plugin class" in the terminal

I have recently installed nspluginwrapper-flash 10 and that has further screwed up everything since now I can't even see the flash movies...

Cippa Lippa · 2009-01-24 19:37:36

ok, I fixed the flash plugin problem, but still mov files crash my firefox and I get this message in the terminal:

Weyhey, mplayer plugin works on Gran Paradiso with the bbc on 86_64 Having trouble with volume control via mouse but that is only a minor inconvenience.
