1103609 - H.264 videos not playing in firefox 33.1 in android 4.4.2 on mediatek MT6592T

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1100126

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Leo_sk]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:33.0) Gecko/33.0 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141106113154

Steps to reproduce:

Go to any site with h.264 video like 'http://www.html5videoplayer.net/html5video/mp4-h-264-video-test/' and play the video.


Actual results:

The video keeps on loading without playing. This continues even when entire video has been completely loaded. If at any point video is stopped and resumed, a collection of coloured boxes appear with no audio i.e. video is completely broken


Expected results:

Video should have played normally as in chrome on the same machine. The problem occurs only on mediatek chipset and not on snapdragon and exynos.

This should be solved with Firefox Beta, can you try out Firefox Beta on Google Play?

Ok, last effort can you try out Nightly (http://nightly.mozilla.org) for Android and report back if that is working for you?

On Nightly we enabled a new video decoding backend for Android 4.1+.

In nightly the video plays with normal sound but the screen keeps on flashing.

Thanks. Video fixed via bug 1014614. Flickering issues are bug 1100126.
