Hi all

I just investigated a bit further about my firefox / netflix problem and it
seems that firefox 57 seems to have a general problem regarding playback of
h264 videos.

It's easily check-able by calling

The solution apparently is to upgrade to the latest beta 58 of firefox. This
however will need rust 1.12.0, so it's gonna take a second for me to verify
that...


s/1.12.0/1.21.0/ :)

I've used 1.21.0, 1.22.1 and now 1.23.0.  But 1.23.0 cannot build
ff57.0.4 (looks like a new warning got turned on somewhere and treated
as an error).

For all of these, remove the channel specification from config.toml.

Details for finding test successes/failures are similar (and the
failures are similar).

Oh, and for 1.23.0 I've been using PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 for each
./x.py invocation.


Ok, I'll try 1.22.1 and firefox 57.0.4. I also use the harfbuzz graphite2 patch, have never used it before.

On a side note: at least with rust 1.19, I had to disable system nspr and system pixman. Is this a rust release thing?

I now also upgraded
webp to 0.6.1
x264 to 20170822-2245

and then

ffmpeg to 3.4.1

maybe that helps, too

Thanks and cheers
Tim
