English Multimedia

Hello,

I Have a web server that I upgraded from 12.3 to 13.1 right now.

Looks like the html5 videos do not display anymore.

I use Firefox 29, may it’s him?

or may be in the process I missed some codec on the server.

my page is here

as you can hear, the sound works, but not the image (in my own firefox)

idéas? do you have any html5 test page of your own?

thanks

Firefox uses gstreamer-0_10 to display HTML5-Videos.
So make sure that you have the necessary gstreamer-0_10-plugins packages installed (from Packman).
In particular:
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-orig-addon
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ffmpeg
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon

It depends on the particular video of course, which package is needed exactly.
If you have all those that are listed, you should be able to play (nearly?) all videos.

The videos from your site play fine here with Firefox 29.0.1 btw.
As they are .ogv only the package gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base should be needed, but better install all of them, I’d say.

ok, thanks

I lacked plugin bad…

there as so many gstreamer plugins, with 32 bits, bad, good, ugly… always miss one :frowning:

but I’m glad to see it’s a clioent problem, not a server one (as show because you could read them)

thanks again, problem solved

Yeah, right.
And then there’s also gstreamer-0_10 vs. gstreamer-1.0.

Well, at least the latter “problem” should be solved in 13.2. AFAIK most of the stuff has finally been ported to gstreamer-1.0 by now, including Firefox and phonon-backend-gstreamer. :wink:
