Hi,
I have booked marked a support/tips page from the suppliers of
the Asus motherboard and the pages the main page links to contains
Youtube videos. The videos wouldn't play in Firefox Nightly, nor
would they display in Google Chrome, they just showed a message
saying "If the video doesn't start to play restart your device", and
a reboot of Fedora didn't change anything.
I've just upgraded to F37 via dnf and loaded the main page into
Firefox Nightly and when I link to a page containing a video, the
video now displays a blue twistie (play button) and continually spins
on that button without playing anything, although it does seem to a
cache some data. In both F36 and F37 when I load the main bookmarked
page I have to do a reload before it will display anything.
When I load the page into Google Chrome in F37, like in Firefox
the page doesn't display the page body and unlike in Firefox it
doesn't matter how many times I reload the page it doesn't display
the page body. How do I determine what the issues are given that the
same pages loaded into Firefox Nightly and Google Chrome in Windows
display without any issues.
I have no trouble playing youtube videos on f37 with nightly. So, my
suggestion is to run nightly from a terminal so you can see what it is
choking on.
[invoke nightly] --new-instance --ProfileManager
Set up a new profile that has no existing configuration.
Then see what messages appear.
I'll try that and see what happens, the one thing I can see with this
is the indications that it is not working are different in F37 to what
they were F36, F36 produced a message and F37 doesn't. I've noticed that
the video does start to cache but not play, and I don't think it is a
Firefox cache issue as I have it configured to empty cache on close. One
thing with this relative to what you mentioned below is when I load the
bookmarked page in Firefox nightly the page doesn't display and I have
to click on the reload button for the page to actually display.
What I don't understand at the moment is why the bookmarked page that
has all the tutorial links to the page containing the videos refuses to
display anything in Google Chrome, it doesn't matter how may times I
click on the reload button it refuses to display.
I *have* been having a weird issue with nightly for a few weeks, where
it doesn't start, but hangs when I start it. I have found a
workaround, but not a cause. I just invoke chromium, and as soon as it
appears, I close it. Then the above command to start nightly works
again. I assume there is some library that isn't being loaded
properly, and the initiation of chromium loads it, and then nightly
works too. I am using LXDE, which the package maintainer says is no
longer being maintained properly, so that could be the issue. I've
noticed that the menus have a different appearance recently, so some
system library change could be responsible.
I'm running Firefox nightly on KDE and I don't see this issue, and under
linux I don't see the issue that I see in Firefox Nightly under windows,
which is when there is an update to put on the startup of Firefox
Nightly displays a white screen which gets closed, presumably because it
has found there is an unapplied update, and then displays its normal
interface.
With the start issue you have, do you have the Gnome shell plugin
installed that provides direct install functionality from
Gnome-looks.org, etc? From what I can see the components that plugin
requires are tied to Google Chrome, and it worked fine in Chrome but I
had issues with it in Firefox Nightly getting it to recognise that those
components were actually installed from the repositories, and from what
I've seen that process seems to have changed recently in that the
component in the repositories seem to have been superseded. I seem to
remember seeing an update saying that a package being installed was
replacing the original package.
I haven't noticed any changes to the menus in Firefox Nightly, but then
I haven't really taken a lot of notice of those as I haven't turned on
the option to permanently display them.
Another possibility is that mesa recently removed support for vaapi
because of patent issues, and that you need the rpmfusion freeworld
version to re-enable it. If you have rpmfusion enabled,
dnf swap mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers-freeworld
I have rpmfusion enabled so I'll have a look at these and also look at
the multimedia link that Greg has provided to see it that sheds any
light on the issue. One issue might be that I used to have codec's
installed that provided the necessary functionality but those codec are
no longer installed, possibly because of re-installing F36 from scratch
when I did my hardware upgrade and moved away from raid so that I could
run Linux natively instead of in a VM.
regards,
Steve
