750963 - black screen after playing video on m.youtube.com

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[juan becerra [:juanb]]

Using today's aurora build, when a video from m.youtube.com finishes playing the screen goes black except for the url bar, and it stays like that when you try going to other sites in the same tab or new tabs.

Steps:
1. Download and install today's aurora mobile for android
2. Go to m.youtube.com and play any of the videos listed (pick a short duration one) and let it finish playing

Expected: The video finishes playing and I see the whole page with comments other videos.

Actual: Black content area. See: http://youtu.be/hB8WPIAzgs8

It also happens on Aurora builds from last Friday (April 27), and today's Nightly build.

This is an HTC myTouch 4G with Android 2.3.4

I can only see the issue with some videos that are HTML5 - http://people.mozilla.com/~nhirata/html_tp/elephants-dream.webm for e.g. 
I believe this is caused by/duplicate of Bug 749107 which should be fixed on the Nightly/15.0a1 2012-04-03.

Can you reproduce this on trunk?

Actually I meant to say Nightly 15.0a1 2012-05-03

Issue is no longer reproducible on Nightly 15.0a1 2012-05-03 / Aurora 14.0a2 2012-05-03 using an HTC Desire (Android 2.2).

This sounds like my filed report, bug 751609 which is blocking 727116. The issue with this report is that Juan can reproduce on a build from the 27th whereas the patch in bug 727116 landed on Mozilla-Central the 29th.

I don't think this bug is actionable any more. Video playback has changed a lot since this bug was filed.
