Description Dimitur Kirov 2008-02-14 01:54:54 UTC
Starting from version (0.5.90) I can see and click through movie controls, but there is no stream loaded and movie screen remains black.

the site is at:
 http://www.vbox7.com/

Confirmed

First issue is that we don't send correct Content-Type header in a POST request, so we don't get the right name for the video file.

After that is fixed audio plays, but buttons don't work and video isn't shown
Comment 2 Riccardo Magliocchetti 2008-10-25 03:08:45 UTC
This works mostly with latest git. What is missing it are the volume control, seeking and the button near of the fullscreen but i can't understand what it is supposed to do. Dimitur, can you try 0.8.2?
Comment 3 Dimitur Kirov 2008-10-25 05:45:09 UTC
Indeed, it just works fine. You rock!

The button function is almost useless. It just scales the movie up and down in the movie area. Here is a screenshot of button's `power`, using ® flashplayer:

=====
Accidentally, I found that certain flashvideo cannot start with swfdec. 
Sound is played, but seekbar and moviearea remain plain. When I save the .flv to the disk, mplayer plays it correctly and the debug prints that it does so by using ffmpeg's libavcodec codec family. Movie URL is at:

Comment 4 Dimitur Kirov 2008-10-25 05:57:10 UTC
I forgot to put some package versions info about my latest tests:

swfdec-0.8.2
swfdec-mozilla-0.8.2
both build from source *.tar.gz 

Gentoo 2008.0/desktop profile
epiphany-2.24.1-r10
cairo-1.8.0
gstreamer-0.10.20
ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20081014

Comment 5 Riccardo Magliocchetti 2008-10-25 08:21:40 UTC
Dimitur, what do you think on closing this as fixed and use bug 18221 for flv videos that don't work with swfdec?

For volume control and seeking not working we have already bugs filed for youtube.com. I think you can open a new one after they are fixed but still not working for vbox7.com.
Comment 6 Dimitur Kirov 2008-10-25 09:20:24 UTC
Riccardo, I absolutely agree with you that this bug is fixed with swfdec-0.8.2
as it was all about loading the video stream. Playing video of certain format is different atomic issue and better be tracked in bug 18221 
Usually I leave it up to the developpers to do the action of closing, cas they know all the internals and they know what's left to be done (code cleanups, refactoring, optimizations, etc.)
Anyways, closing it.

Thank you one more time for this great software!
