1261952 - Starting on 2016-04-02, plugin-container.exe is not part of the nightly installer

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video: GMP, defect, P1)

Description

[Syd Polk :sydpolk]

Tried to play back a Netflix video. Playback failed. There is no plugin-container.exe in the package:

https://www.netflix.com/watch/70136810

$ cd /c/users/mozilla/AppData/Local/Temp/tmpbq6eor/firefox/

mozilla@mozilla-05290 /c/users/mozilla/AppData/Local/Temp/tmpbq6eor/firefox
$ ls p*
platform.ini  plugin-hang-ui.exe  precomplete

The changes in Bug 1114647 are probably responsible.

There was a bug in the original patch which landed which caused the right binary to be signed but the wrong binary to be launched for GMPlugin stuff. I have a fix that's working its way through try right now, and that should fix it as soon as it lands.

Sounds like you've got this. P1, ok?

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: regressions on Netflix are bad...right?

Yeah that sounds reasonable.

Regression, we want video to work, tracking.

Syd, can you confirm to see if this is fixed in the latest nightly? The patch from bug 1261416 is now in today's nightly and should fix this.

Using latest Nightly, I am once again able to play Netflix videos.

[George Wright (:gw280) (needinfo me!)]

Marking this fixed then.

The Neflix regression still reproduces for me in on Mac OS 10.11 using Firefox Nightly 48.0a1 20160405030214. I was about to file a bug report about this but the regression window pointed me here via bug 1114647.

George, should I go ahead and reopen this bug report or file a new one?

Do we use EME for Netflix on OS X? My understanding is that we don't. I think that the issue you're seeing is different to this one, so a new bug would be best.

Looks like it is not happening anymore, stop tracking
