670036 - Quicktime Plugin: WAV files play once, then never again

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Lance Olsen]

Created attachment 544646 [details]
screen shot of my firebug console after trying to reload wav file

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_7) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/12.0.742.100 Safari/534.30

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to play a wav file, for example: http://www.dailywav.com/0711/terribleWisdom.wav


Actual results:

The file plays the first time using the quicktime plugin (v 7.6.6). When I reload, there is no sound and no player. Firebug indicates that the browser has cached the file locally.


Expected results:

The browser should have played the cached version.

Just updated to 5.0.1 and this still happens. Note that the User Agent above is incorrect (thats just what I was using when I submitted the bug).

Is there anyone working on this?

Comment 2

[Lance Olsen]

Could someone help me understand why my bug report has gotten no replies? Are other people not able to reproduce it? Is this a known issue?

BTW, my actual User Agent is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:5.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0.1

I just got a user report of this same issue:

---
- Log in the Forums Site and go to your User CP and then Edit Options.
- Scroll down until you find some links saying Sound1 Sound2 etc. If I click, say on Sound1, then Sound 3, they both play OK. But if I click on Sound1 again, it doesn't play. I get a small window in which the sound is played normally, and the progress bar shows the sound is being reloaded, but it is not played a second time.
---

Up-to-date Quicktime, running Firefox 7 AFAIK.

I get similar behavior when I try to reproduce in Aurora:

* First time, sound opens in a new tab and plays fine.
* Second time, I get a popup saying that Quicktime needs to install software.
* Third time, I get nothing at all. I don't get a progress bar.

Attempting to reproduce in Nightly, loading the sound file directly (http://forum.m1911.org/sounds/Sound1.wav) does *nothing at all*; Web Console shows the file is downloaded with a 200 status, but nothing plays. stdout prints:

WARNING: null plugin instance during PaintPlugin: file /Users/rnewman/moz/hg/services-central/layout/generic/nsObjectFrame.cpp, line 1752

I have

  QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6

installed.

I've bumped into this bug (I think) while trying to fix bug 687610
(see bug 687610 comment	#46 and	bug 687610 comment #50).

But what I've seen doesn't match exactly what's reported here, so
Lance and Richard, please do some tests for me.

1) Does this bug also happen in 32-bit mode?

2) Does this bug still happen if you first clear the network cache?

Steven, thanks for looking into this.

I rebooted in 32-bit mode, and this still happens.

Clearing the network cache fixes this. Also doing a shift-reload will fix it.

I am currently running
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Firefox 7.0.1
QuickTime Player 10.0 (128)
QuickTime Plugin 7.6.6

What do you mean by this?

What I meant for you to do is the following:

1) Quit FF.
2) Right-click on your FF distro and choose Get Info.
3) Check the box labeled "Open in 32-bit mode".
4) Double-click on your FF distro to run it.

[Lance Olsen]

Ah, yes I rebooted my whole machine in 32-bit mode.

Following your instructions to start Firefox in 32-bit mode fixes this.

Thanks, Lance and Richard, for the info.

I don't expect this bug to happen on OS X 10.7.X, so I'm puzzled by this.

This bug should be fixed by my patch for bug 687610.

Here's a tryserver build made from that patch:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-fa3385a54298/try-macosx/fennec-10.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg

Please try it out, and let us know your results.

I'm now able to reproduce this bug on OS X 10.7.X.

Steven,
I just saw this post, and your link is broken now. Can you repost it?

You don't need that link.  My patch for bug 687610 is now in current mozilla-central, aurora and beta nightlies (at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/).

And this bug should now be fixed (I forgot to mark it fixed earlier).

Considering this, setting resolution to VERIFIED FIXED.
