------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-23-09 07:49 ------- Thanks Freddy. No popup blocker; the popups usually work - video just will not work as embedded video. It will not work here. I also instl mozilla-firebird-6.1-mdk today and it has the same problem. But, even though Phoenix files got whacked by the moz-firebird instl, Phoenix still works at those sites to view embedded video. I dunno what the pb is. It may be the Java; Sun's previous plugin and mozilla/firebird did not work (gave ' ... No manager for initializing factory? ' error ) so maybe this version is hosed too. Are you using SUN or Blackdown Java/Java plugin? Oh, BTW, that ** (galeon-bin:8616): CRITICAL **: file mozilla-embed.cpp: line 640 (gresult <snip> error message shows up a lot even though 'embedded' video is not requested so I do not think it is directly related to this problem. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I believe this to be a mozilla or Java related problem but it is exhibited in Galeon and epiphany too. Test at http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml I am using Galeon 1.3.8, epiphany 1.0 and mozilla 1.4.13 with Sun Java 1.4.2_01 java plugin(ns610). It is the same plugin that worked in Mozilla 1.1 & Galeon 1.2 before the MDK 9 to 9.2 upgrade and still works with Phoenix 0.5(fortunately). However, I have tried all the new (1.4.2_01) SUN java plugins with the same or worse results. Clicking on one of the "I-VIDEO" links should pop-up a new window with the embedded Real Player(RP) and begin to play the video. BUT, clicking on a link sometimes does nothing and sometimes a window is opened. Clicking on the _main_ story video does cause the window to open but embedded real player does not exist. Instead, RP is opened separately and an error message is produced: "Some components are not available..." ; that does not seem to be possible since it works in phoenix and worked before. If I start galeon from the CLI, I get: ** (galeon-bin:8616): CRITICAL **: file mozilla-embed.cpp: line 640 (gresult impl_can_go_up(GaleonEmbed*)): assertion `location != NULL' failed ** (galeon-bin:8616): CRITICAL **: file mozilla-embed.cpp: line 640 (gresult impl_can_go_up(GaleonEmbed*)): assertion `location != NULL' failed every time one of the video links is clicked. I checked some other sites and the same message is produced. At Reuters, the 'embedded' video window crashes. Starting mozilla and epiphany from the CLI do not yield any messages even though the result(no video) is the same. I did not find any bugs posted about this here but ,,, This is a major problem for video news junkies. Is there a fix for this? FYI: Other video/audio sites that do _not_ use RP "embedded" video player work okay(e.g., CSPAN, NPR...).
