Embedded Video is not played in Firefox

Andreas1 · December 21, 2014, 9:08pm

I’m able to play your video without any flash player plugin. You need:

1.) SLED11 Service Pack 3 or SLED12.

2.) GStreamer-Plugins → Fluendo One Play Codec Pack → http://eu.fluendo.com
SLED11SP3: GStreamer v0.10 → “Linux generic” (read Readme.txt)
SLED12: GStreamer v1.00 → “Linux RPM”

3.) Only SLED11: Firefox ESR 31 with SUSE-Patch 7776. SUSE-Patch 7776 is not public available.
Ask SUSE Linux Enterprise Hotline (http://www.suse.com → Support) for this patch.
SLED12 don’t need SUSE-Patch 7776.

Hi,

I have SLED 11 SP3 so I checked the version of GStreamer I have and below is the output of zypper and the fludendo mp3 package is installed. Yet, I miss the licensed fludendo ONEPLAY codec pack, right?

Then MozillaFirefox is 31.3.0esr-0.8.1 so I also miss that patch? But how to order that one, When I checked my account on SUSE customer center - support, it says "You are not currently entitled to use the support system. "!

Thanks,

gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 is a GStreamer-Plugin. gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 is a MP3 Audio Decoder for GStreamer and part of each SLED. Gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 allows you to play *.mp3 with Banshee and Totem. Totem and Banshee can use GStreamer. Banshee and Totem has GStreamer support. Original Linux Firefox ESR 31 has GStreamer support. Official SLED11-Firefox don’t support GStreamer. Try it out:

Original Linux Firefox ESR 31

1.) Take the Firefox ESR-.tar.bz2 from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/31.3.0esr/
2.) Unpack the Firefox ESR-.tar.bz2 to /tmp
3.) Deinstall Flash Player Plugin: # zypper remove flash-player
4.) Start original Firefox: # /tmp/firefox/firefox
5.) Open HTML5 Audio Test Page: http://www.russianlessons.net/audio/audio-test.php
6.) Audio Test 1 → second audio example → context menu (right mouse button) → Audio Save as “masha-1.mp3” → Firefox support GStreamer → Fine
7.) Close original Firefox

Official SLED11-Firefox ESR 31

8.) Start SLED-Firefox: # /usr/bin/firefox
9.) Open HTML5 Audio Test Page: http://www.russianlessons.net/audio/audio-test.php
10.) Audio Test 1 → second audio example → context menu (right mouse button) → Audio Save as “*.ogg” → Firefox GStreamer don’t support GStreamer → Bad.

Patched SLED-Firefox ESR 31

With SLED11 and SUSE-Patch 7776 or SLED12 (no patch necessary):

8.) Start SLED-Firefox: # /usr/bin/firefox
9.) Open HTML5 Audio Test Page: http://www.russianlessons.net/audio/audio-test.php
10.) Audio Test 1 → second audio example → context menu (right mouse button) → Audio Save as “masha-1.mp3” → Firefox support GStreamer → Fine

Thanks for the elaborative answer.

To conclude, I need to buy the ONEPLAY codec pack and at least standard subscription to get the firefox ESR patch.

I guess I will just have to live without these videos

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help and time

Regards,
Ahmed
