I've never been overly concerned about quicktime files, but a
little while ago I saw a report that there was a vulnerability in
gstreamer (gst-plugins-good, I think) for quicktime. Found some
quicktime files, tested on the system I was using - they didn't
work, so I guessed I wasn't particularly vulnerable cause I wasn't
going to play any of them. But then, looking through about:plugins,
I saw that totem-narrowspace claimed to support quicktime. Today,
I've been trying to load files from http://www.ncl.ox.ac.uk/quicktime/
(possible bandwidth problems with those) and then from
http://www.apple.com/trailers - my results were less than
encouraging.
On the old BLFS-6.3 system that I've still got available, they play
but without sound. On the LFS-6.4 systems I've got, nothing. Tried
upgrading my oldest 6.4 to gst-plugins-good-0.10.14, but that needed
gstreamer-0.10.22 instead of 0.10.21. So, I upgraded to
gstreamer-0.10.22, gst-plugins-base-0.10.22 (which are what I've got
on the other 6.4 system), gst-plugins-good-0.10.14, and rebuilt
gst-ffmpeg-1.10.6 just in case the upgrade borked it. But it didn't
help.
Looking at totem's build log, lots of linkages to -lgst*0.10 : the
library version numbers are a bit less than the releases, but in
each case the libgst*-0.10.so symlinks point to the latest version
of the corresponding library.
I was previously on totem-0.24.{2,3}, and similarly
totem-pl-parser. I've just upgraded both of those to 2.24.4 but it
didn't help (didn't really expect it would after looking at the news
files).
So, has anyone got quicktime files playing in firefox through
totem-2.24.x on a recent build ? If so, which versions of
gstreamer* and totem* did you use ?
