[SOLVED] Seamonkey video playback

askfor · 04-02-2017, 05:28 PM

Here is the video which I can play with Firefox and can't play with Seamonkey.

Slackware 14.2/64
Seamonkey 2.46
Firefox 45.7 ESR
ffmpeg-3.2.4-x86_64-1alien
latest Flashplayer plugin

Both browser have ffmpeg support enabled in about:config. Usually Seamonkey and Firefox play videos exactly the same. Only thing I notice
is that Firefox has OpenH264 Video Codec.

Here is the URL which causes problem:

http://ww1.cartooncrazy.me/cartoon/star-wars-rebels/

Firefox works, Seamonkey reports:
No video with supported format or MIME type found

What am I missing ?

Beats me. Both Firefox and Seamonkey here play the video just fine. They appear to be HTML5 video/mp4 on my system. You may want to also load the x264 codec from Slackbuilds.org.

x264 only covers encoding and has nothing to do with decoding. Decoding is done by other means (gstreamer, ffmpeg, vlc, etc).

@OP, have you tried installing gst-libav? I'm not sure if one uses something different than another for the backend playback support.

Also, it might be worth trying a new profile (or user, if that's easier) for seamonkey to verify it isn't an issue with a corrupt profile (not sure how common that is anymore... I know it used to be a common issue with Firefox).

I have the revise effect my Firefox does not work 99% of the time in your tube I got Flashplayer plugin slackbuilds flash installs both of them, and ffmpeg and everything I can think of to get the videos to work again. 99% of the time I just get that F (flash logo) and sometimes that arrow that I click and it still does not play in Firefox, I open monkey and no problems with you tube.

slackware 14.2

the only thing I have not done yet is find that rpm for Chroumim and unpack it then get that pepperflash.so out of it and set that up for a plugin for FireFox.

Kingbeowulf, did I understand correctly ? You are able to play URL I submitted in both browsers ? Is that correct ? It is important, because, if yes, then I messed something up.

UPDATE

Yes, I messed up. Kind of. Default security settings for both browsers are different.
Settings under

Privacy & Security:SSL/TLS:Mixed Content

Both entries which start with "Don't load" should be unchecked. It works then.
