Firefox: Media Player Issue
Posted: Jun 10th, '13, 00:19Have just migrated to Mageia 3 from Mageia 1, nice work! Migration was a completely clean install (I alternate versions in different locations..) Environment is XFCE as primary DM, with KDE/Gnome features used.
After adjusting and verifying overall operation, proceeded to fine tune Firefox and validate a variety of my Web destinations, bookmarks, extensions, etc. In doing so encountered a very obvious and odd issue regarding Media Player appearance and usage. I've taken a screenshot (refer attached) where one can easily see that the visual representation of the Media player/controls is rather odd
. Actual site-media link is located at: http://www.vsl.co.at/en/211/442/344/422/698/376.htm, opening any of the audio streams replicates the "problem". Additionally, on some Sites the player has dificulty even initiating (http://www.ilio.com/products/vienna-ins ... pastrings1, select demos tab..).
Have carefully reviewed: all Firefox media options, MIME associations, and Media install items. All appears AOK and is exactly like my prior Mageia 1 environment, which worked perfectly.
In doing research this "problem" appears to be similar with this Bug that has already been reported: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9092. This Player issue occurs regularly on various sites. Really surprised that more reports of this "problem" haven't surfaced? Or is it just a few users like me...?
Would appreciate any insghts, comments, or possible resolution actions. Thank you.
