Problem with flowplayer

Post by secdroid »

Debian Linux Stable/Lenny/5.0
iceweasel 3.0.6-3
xulrunner 1.9.0.16-1
Flash 10,0,32,18 installed
noscript 1.9.9.27

Youtube is fine, but "flowplayer", which previously
worked for me, doesn't appear to fully initialize.

Specifically --
http://cdn1.hdworks.com/static/flash/pl ... -3.1.5.swf
from page http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=video&video-id=2840

All other iceweasel add-ons are temporarily disabled.

NoScript options were reset to defaults.

Used NoScript "temporarily allow all" repeatedly until everything
is temporarily allowed for this page. Player doesn't appear to complete
its initialization. Control buttons are inoperative. Should be black,
rather than light grey, when fully initialized.

No problem with same site/flowplayer/video using Google
Chromium/Flash on same Debian login.

Works for me. I only need to Allow pjtv.com and hdworks.com
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6
NoScript 1.9.9.27, default prefs and whitelist
Default theme and no other extensions
Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42

An Iceweasel specific problem?

Edit: Does not work for me in Fx 3.0.16 using NoScript 1.9.9.27. Does work in a Fx 3.0.16 profile that has no extensions at all.

Same problem here with 1.9.9.27 on Iceweasel / Debian stable

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.16) Gecko/2009121610 Iceweasel/3.0.6 (Debian-3.0.6-3)

and also on

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102815 Iceweasel/3.0.14 (Debian-3.0.14-1)

Shouldn't this thread go in the NoScript Development forum http://forums.informaction.com/viewforum.php?f=10, as it does seem to be a bug?

Thanks, all, for your tests. The additional data should help in isolating the bug.

I will post a link to this thread on the NoScript Development forum.

Re: Alan Baxter - Yes, I should have said that flowplayer works properly in my Iceweasel 3.0.6-3 with NoScript disabled. Failure mode == NoScript specifically.

Re: SVlad - Thank you. I knew some version prior to 1.9.9.22 had worked fine for me. I updated to .22 via Mozila auto update and that failed. I manually downloaded the .27 .xpi, installed, and got the same failure.

Looks like a Firefox 3.0.x specific bug with Flash player.
Investigating for a work-around, thanks.

The .28 Development Build worked perfectly for me.

If, like me, you couldn't find a link to .28 on the cited page, check out the Development Forum thread for a working link.

Thanks again everyone!

doesn't work for me on Debian squeeze with Iceweasel

NoScript 1.9.9.28
shockwave flash 9.0 r999

I havedn't tried it on my Debian stable box


There's some major wierdness happening on this box: I tried reverting to 1.9.9.17 and still had the problem. Even after disabling, and even uninstalling NoScript and rebooting the machine I still can't play videos. It's as if the machine has a homeopathic memory of the buggy[0] version of NoScript having been installed :-(

Giorgio, is there anything NoScript could have changed in Iceweasel that wouldn't be reversed/reverted by uninstalling NoScript?

[0] or version without workaround for someone else's bugs ...

Absolutely not.
Hint: could you upgrade your Flash plugin?

Hmm, upgraded to 10.0 r42 from Debian contrib repo and now when I click on a flowplayer thing it sits there thinking about it for about 30 secs and then segfaults.

That happens with or without noscript.

Already tried to disable all your extensions?
