Description Pavel Roskin 2007-12-28 13:39:57 UTC

When playing the flash file from http://red-bean.com/proski/loading.swf in swfplay, and the player is maximized, swfplay exits halfway (after the green paw is seen stepping on the floor) with the message:

lt-swfplay: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.

Please note that you should click on "play" in the beginning many times very fast to work bug #13241.

Using "-i" ("--image") option to swfplay allows the flash file to be played completely.

Is this still an issue?

I just get a repeating load animation but no crashes.

Comment 2 Pavel Roskin 2008-02-02 19:42:10 UTC

I'm still getting this problem.  Perhaps I was unclear.  You should click many many times very fast, maybe a minute or so, before you are lucky and the animation starts.  Then you would see the problem.

Comment 3 Pekka Lampila 2008-02-15 03:40:25 UTC

No crashes for me, the animation plays normally after managing to click the play button
Seems like an issue with X or cairo, I have development version of cairo from Hardy and nVidia's binary drivers...

Comment 4 Pekka Lampila 2008-04-11 11:07:19 UTC

Still got this problem?

Comment 5 Pavel Roskin 2008-04-13 19:30:08 UTC

Yes, the problem still exists with the current git version.  I'm using Fedora 8 with all updates.  That's the graphics card:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE]

I'm using the free driver that comes with Fedora.

Comment 6 Pavel Roskin 2008-04-26 19:33:19 UTC

The problem is fixed in git by forcing me to upgrade cairo from 1.4.14 to 1.6.4. Actually, I gave up and upgraded the whole Fedora from 8+updates to rawhide, so the X server was upgraded too, as well as hundreds of other things.

Not very nice, but I guess the bug can be closed now.
