Hello Lisi,

Thanks, Brad.

NP.

As I said, I could only alter Flash, and that made no difference.  
Still: Video can't be played because the file is corrupt.

TBH, I'm not really sure what's happening, since the H264 codec doesn't
seem to have any MIME types associated with it.

I suggest you install gecko-mediaplayer(1) from the Debian repos and
restart Iceweasel, then try again.

(1) It can handle all sorts of file formats.

 I get Video can't be played because the file is corrupt.

 I don't see that report(1), but the video downloads so slowly (3 mins
 here) that playing it in the browser is best described as 'painful'.  The
 only sensible way to view it was to d/l the file and spool the video from
 the local HD.

I can reproduce the problem on Iceweasel 33.1.

I don't know about VLC, I had the impression that the problem is
playing videos in FireFox.

 {time passes}
 
 I tried nevertheless, and saw no changes.

Playing H.264 videos in FireFox for Linux was introduced in version 26
and FireFox's implementation uses gstreamer library so if you want to
watch videos encoded with h.264 in FireFox then you need to have
gstreamerXXX-libav installed.

To find out, enter 'about:plugins' in the browser address bar. This will 
show a list of plugins and the MIME types and file suffixes for which 
they are responsible. 

My Iceweasel 31.2.0 does not show a list item for .mp4, and the video 
link posted by OP fails to play with the same error message.

Opening the link in VLC appears to work fine, assuming the video is 7 
seconds of a static image with no audio.

That's right.  The plugin I use calls VLC to do the actual playing.

Playing H.264 videos in FireFox for Linux was introduced in version 26
and FireFox's implementation uses gstreamer library so if you want to
watch videos encoded with h.264 in FireFox then you need to have
gstreamerXXX-libav installed.

So, for the video in question, the above is sidestepped or not
relevant.  However, I now under know why the gstreamer lib is needed.
So, thanks for that..

You can check what codecs your browser supports on http://html5test.com/

and that.  I'll see what it throws up later.

I installed gstreamer1.0-libav and restarted Iceweasel;  Sound was
killed for at least one game on FB (I didn't test anything else).
Removing the lib and restarting Iceweasel got the sound back.  So, for
now, I'll live without it.

 You don't say which versions of IE or Android browser you're using, but
 I'll bet they're more recent than the version of Iceweasel you're

What architecture is your system? Do you have the security repository
in your /etc/apt/sources.list?

If you are running on (amongst a few other architecures) amd64 or i386,
and have a line like 

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

in your sources.list, you should get the 31.2.0esr-2~deb7u1 version.

iceweasel Video can't be played because the file is corrupt

2014-10-26 Thread St-Laurent, Pierre
Hi,

I use debian stable (wheezy) on my amd-64 laptop. Somewhere over the last weeks 
my iceweasel stopped playing mp4 videos.
I get the error message Video can't be played because the file is corrupt.

iceweasel was playing the same video file perfectly fine a few weeks ago. I 
haven't changed anything to the laptop except for security updates (apt-get 
update, apt-get upgrade).
It might be a coincidence, but I noticed that my iceweasel was recently updated 
to 31.2.0 through security updates.
So I *think* the problem is with the iceweasel package, but I might be wrong.

How to reproduce the problem:

Type http://www.nordet.net/etc/noreaster.mp4; in the url bar
I get Video can't be played because the file is corrupt.
If I download the mp4 file on the hard drive and play it through mplayer or 
totem, the video plays fine.

Has anybody noticed a similar problem?

Thanks for your time,
Pierre

Hello Pierre,

Type http://www.nordet.net/etc/noreaster.mp4; in the url bar
I get Video can't be played because the file is corrupt.

I don't see that report(1), but the video downloads so slowly (3 mins
here) that playing it in the browser is best described as 'painful'.  The
only sensible way to view it was to d/l the file and spool the video from
the local HD.

(1)  I'm using iceweasel from experimental on a testing machine.

Thanks Brad for giving it a try.
I think this confirms that the problem only affects stable (wheezy).

As a side note, the video runs fine on Internet Explorer and on Android.

Thanks again for giving it a try,
Pierre

You're welcome.

I had to look up the version supplied in stable.  At v3.15.6 it's
/ancient/ in browser terms.

As a side note, the video runs fine on Internet Explorer and on Android.

You don't say which versions of IE or Android browser you're using, but
I'll bet they're more recent than the version of Iceweasel you're
running.  I hate to say, it, but that's a bit like comparing apples and
oranges.

Thanks again for giving it a try,

No problem.

Look again - the version of Iceweasel in stable is 31.2.0, Debian has
started to provide the ESR version of Iceweasel to the stable Debian
release. I have no idea where you got that 3.15.6 version information
from.

To be specific: 31.2.0esr-2~deb7u1.

Yes, you're right.  I was looking in the wrong place (oldstable)(1).  So,
much of what I said ref apples and oranges is moot.

Sorry for the confusion.

(1)  Let's just call it a senior moment.
