Build ID: 20120317042020
Steps to reproduce:
load video page, youtube, rt.com, vk.com rutube etc flash place holder loads or a 'thumb' of the video (I'm using flashblock, 1.5.15.1 on Aurora 13.0a2 installed fresh today).
Actual results:
Video looks as if it is going to load, but nothing happens. Black background. No load indicator, no video controls, nothing. Just the black box where the video should be
Expected results:
Video should load and play or at least attempt to load.

forgot to mention. I can use scriptish and download youtube as mp4 and it will download the youtube videos and they play in VLC just fine. Also, can download from RT.com as they offer download of vidoes (their news clips) and those videos download and play also.

Videos uploaded to and embedded in VK.com (вконтакте) pages Will play. As far as I know they are flash videos also. Yes, Right click, verifies they are and reports my player as 11.1.102.63
example: any on my pages, http://vk.com/landistwo specifically i was playing кросиво поет when i wrote this and check flash player version.

I have done Absolutely Nothing. I have not Quite / Re-Start mozilla Aurora.. .Nothing. I have not shutdown or restarted my linux router (smoothwall),,, again, nothing and All sites Except youtube are playing flash... All the Adobe.com flash elements, version reports, tests are now working...
Hmmm..
Could this be something my provider, Comcast is messing with. ports or something?

after an hour, i went back to a youtube page and 'moved on', left that page (where video was not playing) as the 'new' page loaded, the audio of the previously, not playing video started to play and played for about 30 seconds even though I was on another page and it had fully loaded.. FYI...

Experiment:
on my dell laptop running openSuSE 12.1 KDE 4.7 and gen workstation running openSuSE 11.2 and KDE 4.5 'ish both running 17.03.12 release of Aurora 13.0a2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhsUdJfwN9s
http://vk.com/wall-23031244_664
I downloaded the video from the youtube link above, uploaded that video to vk and like all other video on Eastern Europe sites, it plays.
Again, the very video downloaded was uploaded..
*(i have scriptish one and greasemonkey on the other installed).
p.s. I just checked to be absolutely sure, my other openSuSE systems, all running KDE of one version or another and Aurora lower than 13.0a2 All play the same video at youtube.
I'm going to check my Ubuntu, gnome system too, even though I'm currently listening to Rush Limbaugh via flash on his website... Yes.. plays there too.. Anything but 13.0a2
just saying,
Landis.
