[Bug 998569] Re: Embedded MP4 only plays audio in browser window

 

Using the link to the mp4 in this bug's description, video and audio are
working here in Firefox 37.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 with gstreamer1.0-libav,
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad and gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly installed.

For Ubuntu 12.04, which uses gstreamer 0.10, H.264 video support was
introduced in Firefox 26, provided that the appropriate gstreamer plug-
ins are installed - seehttp://website-
archive.mozilla.org/www.mozilla.org/firefox_releasenotes/en-
US/firefox/26.0/releasenotes/

Ubuntu 14.04 uses gstreamer 1.0 by default.  Firefox introduced support
for H.264 video with gstreamer 1.0 in Firefox 30, which was released on
June 10, 2014 - see https://www.mozilla.org/en-
US/firefox/30.0/releasenotes/

** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

Title:
  Embedded MP4 only plays audio in browser window

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On this page:
  http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/05/09/redesigning-chkdsk-and-the-new-ntfs-health-model.aspx

  is this link:

  Clicking on it blanks the window except for the normal set of media
  controls except that they are *at the top* of the window except at the
  bottom as usual.

  Clicking on the Caret in the upper right of the screen and selecting
  Full Screen shows the video and the audio properly.  In Full Screen
  mode, of course...

  On my wife's Maverick computer with FF 11, the video plays but not the
  audio.
