Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect, P5)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130928085044

Steps to reproduce:

I'm building Mozilla Firefox source code everyday from trunk.  My last build is based on revision http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/2f4397db1830

When I go to bandcamp, every single album I want to play is not played. Appears two days ago. Every track is skipped.

Reset my profile, nothing changed. Tried with Mozilla Firefox 24.0, and no problems.

Tried also with Gnome Epiphany browser, and no problem.

Just go to http://thedarkflowers.bandcamp.com/album/when-stars-fall-e-p for example and click on the first track to listen to it.


Actual results:

Tracks are skipped. And I got this in browser console.

10:42:40.926 "10:42:40.926:" "HTML5Player-1: exceeded maximum number of error retries; giving up on this track"


Expected results:

Just playing track. I only found a bug #910980 about bandcamp, but not related to my problem.

The only workaround is either to use stable version or to switch to another browser. I will try to find a working nightly asap.

It's getting worse. I cannot get google play music to work. Tracks are not played

Here is what I get in Browser console :

If I deactivate media.gstreamer.enabled, bandcamp tracks are working again. Any idea ?!

Comment 3

Forgot to add, could be useful, that now my computer is using gstreamer 1.2.0 and its plugins.

If this is a regression, could you narrow down when it happened?

Comment 5

[Frederic Bezies]

I'll try to find it as soon as possible.

Comment 6

[Frederic Bezies]

Well.

I wanted to verify it was a gstreamer 1.2.0 related bug. Installed a virtual machine with archlinux stable (and gstreamer 1.0) and last nightly ( http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/6b92cb377496) : Ok.

Activated testing so with gnome 3.10 and gstreamer 1.2.0 : Ok.

Tried again on my main computer (archlinux testing + gnome shell 3.10 + gstreamer 1.2.0) : bug.

I can't explain what is going on. I have to disabled gstreamer in about:config to get bandcamp working on my real computer.

WONTFIX ?

Comment 7

[Frederic Bezies]

It will really be a WONTFIX bug. Noticed that the conflict is between gstreamer-bad-plugins package. As soon I removed 0.10 version, this bug disappeared.

Weird. Sorry for bug spam.

Comment 8

[Moritz Kiefer]

This bug still exists in nightly (35.0a1). However it does _not_ exist in the stable version (32.0.1). So is this really a wontfix bug? the trunk from back when this was originally reported should have become stable by now, so if it works in stable maybe it's possible to get this working in nightly as well? Removing all gstreamer0.10 related packages solves this but this is not really an option for many people as pidgin indirectly depends on them.

Comment 9

[Moritz Kiefer]

This problem is fixed by installing gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins. I have no idea why firefox nightly requires a different gstreamer plugin than the stable version.

gstreamer is going in bug 1234092
