397051 - Flash craziness: repeating tracks, sounds plays after tab close, browser crashing

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[u88484]

Watch the time next to the volume control, it will go to 1 or 2 seconds and reset to 0 a bunch of times. Eventually the video will start but the sound will be doubled like an echo of the same track playing at same time but 2 seconds apart (doesn't happen everytime), and firefox has crashed a few times on me after closing that tab.

Forgot to note that this was with an older version of flash and also with the latest of 9.0.47.0, old profile and new.

I would like some confirmation on the regression range too. I'll try and get some other builds to narrow down what I have.

If it's possible to attach a testcase (including the flash file!) to the bug, someone please do that?  It would be bad for the testcase to go away, as tends to happen with plug-in bugs.

Attachment: "reduced" code

I figured out why sometimes the sounds was echoing, it was because the video does actually start playing sometimes but the counter doesn't move so I was stareing at the page waiting for the video to start (which is was just it was showing the rating) and clicked the play button which than begun to play the video again like in the background.  This "background" is also the sound that still plays after closing the tab.

I've seen the same thing happening, randomly, with the Flip4Mac plugin on OS X PPC when watching Windows Media movies on the BBC site)
