Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Build ID: 20100101

Steps to reproduce:

Been experiencing this for several days but this is my first opportunity to submit the bug.

Start Nightly as usual. PulseAudio is installed. Open container tab. Navigate to media requiring audio. In this case Youtube video. Play.


Actual results:

Warning "To play audio, you may need to install the required PulseAudio software".

If I open without being in a container the file plays.

There is weird behaviour, in that I just opened a different container and it worked. Open the same container, it doesn't work.


Expected results:

Media streams effortlessly and popcorn is consumed.

Hi David,

I'm trying to reproduce this behaviour and haven't been successful.  (I'm trying on Fedora 26, not Arch Linux).

Is the issue 100% reproducible with the second tab of a container?
Does it happen with all containers?
Can you attach the output from about:support?

thanks,
Dan

This was a relatively consistent bug that I have not been experiencing now for several days. I feel it's been resolved somehow, so will now close.
