323487 - Flip4Mac (F4M) plugin's content is displayed incorrectly

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Camino Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

Since we're not going to support WMP anymore, we should try and get content to display correctly for F4M. Currently, content is displayed down and to the right of where it should be.

The is probably a Cocoa origins bug. It only affects Camino (plugin content is displayed properly in Safari and Firefox).

(This is using F4M 2.0.1 and Camino 1.0b2.)

Please update your plugin as stated in the other bug and note that this bug has nothing to do with the crash.

Tested most recently available F4M plug-in (v2.0.1) with Mac OS 10.3.9, Camino official nightly 2006012304 (v1.0b2+).

Many of the pages at http://archives.cbc.ca/ do not play nicely with Camino and F4M.  These pages have video streams in WMV format.  Something appears to go very badly with page layout.  The plug-in duly plays the video stream with audio, but the video window itself is hidden.

These pages play back without problems in Safari (v1.3.2 tested).

For repeatable examples, try surfing to:  http://archives.cbc.ca/IDD-1-73-1700/politics_economy/political_scandals/ and click on any of the stories on that page.

This is (mostly) fixed in F4M 2.0.2. I'm resolving this bug as FIXED.

Note that F4M will continually be improving performance in Camino and Firefox.

Wasn't our bug, wasn't our fix, so INVALID, not FIXED.
