User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927

The Crossover plugin for the MS version of Quicktime worked perfectly
in Mozilla 1.7.3, it is still working for Firefox 1.0, but
Mozilla 1.8a5 does not play quicktime files correctly: one gets
the sound of the movie, but no video is played.

It would be great to have the Crossover plugins working again in
the new versions of Mozilla.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.For example, you can go to
http://www.pixar.com/theater/trailers/incredibles/ttrailer2_480.html and try to
reproduce the Quicktime file.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
You will view a white screen with sound but no video is played

Expected Results:  
The QuickTime CrossOver plugin must works correctly, like on Mozilla 1.7.3 and
on Firefox 1.0

Can you possibly narrow down when this broke (using builds from
http://archive.mozilla.org if needed)?

I have used your final mozilla1.8a5 build with xft enabled to
prove that the problem is just related to the xft activation.
The quicktime crossover plugin reproduces audio but not video.

Everything goes ok with the quicktime crossover plugin if I use your
normal build (--disable-xft option).

It seems that the problem is linked with the xft enabled option.

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Was the XFT build with GTK2 also?  That is, were you just testing the effect of
turning on XFT or turning on XFT _and_ switching widget sets?

Comment 6

[Andrew Schultz]

you can't do that (bug 239466 comment 28), but I guess you can still try gtk2
without xft (unless you have gtk2.4 -- bug 239466 comment 34)

[Pacho Ramos]

I have compiled Mozilla 1.8a5 with the following options:
--prefix=/home/pacho/mozillagtk/ --enable-crypto --disable-tests --disable-debug
--enable-optimize --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --without-system-nspr
--without-system-zlib --without-system-jpeg --without-system-png
--without-system-mng --disable-xft 
I have disabled "xft" and enabled "gtk2". The problem is still there: QuickTime
plays the audio, but not the video.
The problem seems to be in some change in the GTK2 Toolkit from Mozilla 1.8a1.
(I checked it on a Mozilla 1.8a1 GTK2+XFT build).

Any chance of narrowing down when the problem started?

From Mozilla 1.8a1

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Does that mean 1.8a1 works?  Or does not work?

The QuickTime CrossOver Plugin DOESN´T work on Mozilla 1.8a1

Comment 12

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

OK.  Any chance of testing nightly builds from http://archive.mozilla.org
(starting with early April, which is when 1.7 branched) and seeing which one is
the first one that breaks crossover?

I do not find any mozilla 1.8a1 GTK2-XFT build in archive.mozilla.org (early April).
Where can I find it?

BUG Fixed

The has been fixed. I you use CrossOver 4.1 the quicktime crossover plugin works
fine.
We have to upgrate to CrossOver 4.1 if we want run this plugin

Thanks

Sorry my poor english

NOTE: I use Mozilla 1.8b1, thanks to Boris and other developers of the new
Mozilla 1.8.
I don´t use Firefox. I use Mozilla 1.8b1, Mozilla 1.7.5, Opera 7.54u2 and Opera
8.0b2

Nothing in the Mozilla code itself was broken or fixed.
