GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 601456
InternetArchive not working properly when launching video
Last modified: 2010-03-09 18:58:29 UTC
Created attachment 147418 [details] Screenshot of the problem I just tried to play a video from InternetArchive (my testcase is: search for Zeitgeist, and double click on the "Zeitgeist: Addendum" item, then click Play [>]) and two things happened: 1. The video opened in a new small window instead of switching to NowPlaying. 2. The background banshee's main window left behind the new small window got frozen (and thus became black&white).
Does closing this small video window crash Banshee? If so, this sounds fairly similar to Bug 548635.
Mmmm, I cannot reproduce it anymore because some weeks ago I changed my codecs (and now I cannot view the video either, BTW, but that's another issue). Can you test yourself please?
I tested with the same video you used - Zeitgeist: Addendum - and it definitely opened the video in a little window. Closing that window crashed Banshee with the same error. Also, the same workaround - visiting the Now Playing section before playing the video - worked in this case as well. I'm marking this as a duplicate because it seems to be a different way to produce the same underlying bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 548635 ***
