Subject: mozilla-plugin-vlc: Crashes firefox when trying to open a page that uses this plugin

Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 18:02:43 +0100

Package: mozilla-plugin-vlc
Version: 0.8.1.svn20050314-1
Severity: important


I created a simple demo page using some sample code that is included in the
docs on the vlc website. I'll add the file to a follow up email.

Before installing the plugin the sample page shows an area where the video is
to be played in and a few links below to control the video (play, pause, stop
and fullscreen). With the plugin installed the page crashes as soon as it is
opened. 

I found another site with a demo page included[0], but that too crashes with
the plugin installed.

In both cases when I uninstall the plugin the pages display fine, albeit with
no video.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

This simple example was cut 'n pasted from the docs on the vlc website. I 
then modified it to point at a small sample avi instead of the example url 
that was included.

I've check the avi and it plays fine in vlc so I don't think it's a problem 
there, but I can send the file if you want, it is pretty small, only about 
200kb or so.

thanks

Hello,

I can't reproduce this bug here. Could you please provide this file ?

For example, you could upload it to ftp://streams.videolan.org/incoming .

Thanks,

Subject: mozilla-plugin-vlc crashes Firefox

Subject: mozilla-plugin-vlc crashes Firefox
Followup-For: Bug #315979
Package: mozilla-plugin-vlc
Version: 0.8.1.svn20050314-1

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Firefox crashes on any page that includes something this plugin would
handle (embedded MP3 or video, etc.). I'm using Firefox 1.0.7 on Gnome
Desktop Environment and Debian etch, although I've experience the same
problem with Sarge and KDE and older versions of Firefox. The plugin
works fine in the Mozilla Suite, but Firefox kills itself whenever it
comes across a website where it would be used.

Blackdown JRE does the same. I'm not reporting that bug here, but I
thought it might be relevant.

Hello,

This bug was reported against avery old vlc version.

the mozilla plugin is notably stabler in 0.9.x and 1.0.x. So could you
tell us if you're still experiencing the bug.

Package: mozilla-plugin-vlc
Version: 1.0.0-1

No feedback from submitter and a lot of the mozilla plugin problem
have been fixed in the 1.0.x branch (threading problem were the root
cause)

So I'm closing this bug with the first version of vlc 1.0.x i.e. vlc 1.0.0-1
