Zune.net offers a streaming music option for Zune Pass account holders, using the Silverlight plugin. With OOPP disabled, streaming works fine. When I enable OOPP, however, the Streaming media does not play. The plugin is loaded, all of the controls for the media player appear and are interactive (I can toggle play/pause and change volume levels), but nothing plays.

Firefox oftentimes becomes unresponsive for prolonged periods of time when trying to play music through the media player controls.

Firefox often crashes when I close the pop-out version of the player when OOPP is enabled also.

I'm not sure what kind of testing Mozilla can do, since this feature requires a paid-for account.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Enable OOPP.
1. Go to Zune.net.
2. Log in with a Zune Pass account.
3. Go to the Music tab (this bug's URL).
4. Try to play music using the media player controls at the bottom of the page.
5. Click the media player's "pop out" button.
6. Try to play something from the popped out media player.
7. Close the popped out media player.
Actual Results:  
Music should be playable, the browser shouldn't crash or hang.

Expected Results:  
Music doesn't play, the browser sometimes crashes or hangs.

My crash report for when closing the pop out player: http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-d6e55151-4384-47c7-914b-8eab22100202

It seems to work now that I'm not starting Firefox with the -no-remote flag. Odd.

Could be a duplicate of / related to Bug 542831, Bug 536528. There are more "Silverlight not working" (and sometimes crashes) -bugs.

Wes: Bug 542248 was checked in today so you might consider trying the nightly tomorrow to see if the issue has been resolved for you when you start with the -no-remote flag.

It's working better, now, but I wouldn't say it's "working" yet. It can now play/pause the first song in the playlist, but the rest of the controls aren't working when I'm using -no-remote.

I noticed that when I do something on Youtube, there's only one "mozilla-runtime.exe" process present. But when I'm trying to do the media streaming with Silverlight on Zune.net, there's two of them. I'm not really sure what the -no-remote flag does (aside from letting you run two profiles simultaneously). Could -no-remote be messing up communication between the two mozilla-runtime processes (if that is why there's two of them)?
