** Description changed: + [Impact] + + This bug is in the built-in ffmpeg media handler that comes with gnash. + This bug affects the ffmpeg handler in such a way that it does not work + when trying to play videos. Upstream and Debian have attributed this to + deprecated api. + + Uploading the attached debdiffs, which include an upstream patch to fix + this, should resolve this issue. + + [Test Case] + + As detailed in the original Debian bug (see the "Original Bug + Description" section), the bug as-is now can be replicated by running + gnash with a youtube link, where you can expect the circle to keep + spinning and the video to not start: + + $ gnash http://www.youtube.com/v/9sJUDx7iEJw?version=2 + + Upon application of this patch, you should be able to run the same + command, then the video will play correctly. + + [Regression Potential] + + While this has not been extensively checked, there should be no + regression potential from this patch, which primarily adds ifdefs in + order to allow compatibility with older versions of the software. + + + [Original Bug Description] + Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/729995: Package: gnash Version: 0.8.11~git20120629-1 Tags: wheezy patch Severity: important Gnash is built with two media handlers: ffmpeg and gstreamer. Default is ffmpeg (libav) which is broken in wheezy due to deprecated api. Biggest impact is youtube video play: circle keeps spinning, movie doesn't start. To reproduce: $ gnash http://www.youtube.com/v/9sJUDx7iEJw?version=2 It can be workarounded by switching to gstreamer media handler: $ echo "set mediahandler gst" >> ~/.gnashrc - or + or $ gnash -M gst http://www.youtube.com/v/9sJUDx7iEJw?version=2 Backporting following upstream change fixes that: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnash.git;a=commitdiff;h=4b3dae970549d42723c2528c250a1f95248145c7
