I am adding information from a gdb session which involves the aforementioned behavior while trying to watch the HTML5 ogg video at this URL:
http://www.kaltura.org/apis/html5lib/kplayer- examples/Player_Themable.html Note that in contrast to my previous comments, the entire Firefox UI becomes unresponsive when the HTML5 hangs. Audio again continues playing, probably due to my jackd routing. In order to produce the stack trace I had to send SIGINT in the debugger after the video hung. Following the bug reporting guidelines I've included info from "bt full" and "thread apply all backtrace full". If it might help, this is the version of the nvidia drivers I am using: nvidia-current: Installed: 295.20-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1 Candidate: 295.20-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1 Version table: *** 295.20-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/restricted amd64 Packages Note, however, that these videos play fine in earlier versions of FF and in standalone players such as VLC. As far as I can tell, this is a FF- specific bug. Please let me know if there is more information I can provide regarding this bug. My workaround at the moment is to use FF 9.0.1 downloaded from the Mozilla FTP servers. I really don't want to have to use older, unsupported versions of Firefox in order to have proper html5 video support. ** Attachment added: "gdb-firefox.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/931114/+attachment/2755160/+files/gdb-firefox.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931114 Title: Regression in html5 video support in FF 10 & 11 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/931114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
