Simple HTML5 file calling the video
339 bytes, text/html

Snaphot of the preview window

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Build ID: 20120713134347

Steps to reproduce:

I use an HTML file containing HTML5 videos ( encoded in WebM format ).

I would want to print this file.


Actual results:

When I ask for the preview , the video does not appear in the preview window ( and does not appear on paper when printing )


Expected results:

When using Firefox 12 with the same file, there was a snapshot of the video visible into the preview window ( and on paper ).

I would like to have in the print preview  :

- either a snapshot of the video ( as in Firefox 12 ) showing the first frame or the current frame of the video

- or the image of the "poster" attribute of the video element
I can see a snapshot image when using youtube's html5
Do you see this with youtube's html5 videos? 
If not, can you post a testcase?

I had problems uploading my OGV file : perhaps to big for bugzilla !

But you can replace it with any OGV or WebM video !

I have also tried You Tube HTML5 video like this one :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoYvr-KXvLs

and there is also a blank area for the video ( see snapshot )

    
    

    
  
Hmm. I thought I saw a snapshot yesterday when trying to print html5 youtube video. I can't anymore. Maybe I confused the Firefox version I was checking on.

For reference, bug 134002 is for printing flash objects. That's an old one, but this used to work in F12. So this must have regressed in between.
Didn't find any duplicate anywhere, so setting to new. I'll look for a regression soon.

Will track this, let's see if there's the possibility of a low risk fix before the next beta for 15. cc'ing Steven and Bas.

I don't see how my patch for bug 730066 could have anything to do with this.  But I'll try disabling it in current code and see what happens.

    
    

    
  
(Following up comment #9)

Oops, didn't read the bug carefully enough:

> 1st Regression: Crash when try to print preview due to Bug 715785
> 2nd regression: Fixed crash by730066 , but no snapshot in print preview

Undoing my fix for bug 730066 will just lead to crashes.

So bug 715785 is the problem.

Since I don't know this code, I'll leave this bug to Bas.

Is anyone seeing this bug outside of Linux?

Wontfixing for FF15 since we're a day away from our final Beta. Please continue investigation for 16 and nominate for uplift when ready.

          status-firefox15:
          affected → wontfix

    
    

    
  
This isn't a recent regression at this point, and while we'd consider an uplift nomination, there's no need to track for the next release.

I can reproduce this bug on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0

Is this something that is still being investigated or should this be closed as wont fix?

I've not investigated this bug any further. If we want to fix this I can look into it, but I don't know if anyone cares?

If you can land a fix, that'd be great, if not, please unassign and leave as New

(The recent "status-firefox48: --- → affected" setting made this show up on the list of new regressions in Firefox 48[1] (though it's not a new regression).  --> Setting affected status for earlier releases as well, to reflect reality & so that it doesn't incorrectly end up on that "new regressions" list.)

The user will see the first frame of the video on a print preview.  That's sufficient.
