Bug Description

User is unable to play YouTube video. User will get correct player GUI, but nothing happed when play button is clicked. There is not error message or clue for users.
Every think is working correctly after restricted codecs installation (installed thought Totem).

Recreation:

- Gnash Firefox plugin

- don't have installed any restricted codecs in Totem

- (Basically it is clean installation with Gnash Firefox plugin.)

Try to play any YouTube video and you'll get mentioned error.

Used version software:

- Ubuntu 8.04 deta

- Firefox 3.0b4

- Gnash 0.8.2

It would be great if user wills get at least some error message. Thanks a lot.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

another thing.

When you install the restricted codecs are you able to play all youtube-videos. Because I can only play some. Thus I moved to swfdec which doesn't have this issue.

0.8.2 is close to a year old, 0.8.4 is the most recent release, and is what ships in Intrepid, which works just fine. swfdec requires the same codec as Gnash does. Upgrading either Gnash or Ubuntu will fix your problem.
