Description Tim Jowers 2007-12-12 22:19:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
Click on a website with a flash video. It might play. Or npviewer.bin might
crash once it starts to load. A news group said to install xmms so I did and
that is when it worked once after reboot before crashing again.  (I put this
into XMMS as the product as I do not know where else to put it.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@localhost ~]# yum list installed flash-plugin
Loading "protectbase" plugin
0 packages excluded due to repository protections
Installed Packages
flash-plugin.i386                        9.0.115.0-release      installed       
[root@localhost ~]# yum list installed npviewer
Loading "protectbase" plugin
0 packages excluded due to repository protections
Error: No matching Packages to list
[root@localhost ~]# yum list installed npviewer.bin
Loading "protectbase" plugin
0 packages excluded due to repository protections
Error: No matching Packages to list
[root@localhost ~]# whatis npviewer.bin
npviewer.bin: nothing appropriate
[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 #1 SMP Tue Oct 30 13:55:12 EDT 2007
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost ~]# 


How reproducible:
Every time. I rebooted and could play swf's for a while but then it started
crashing again.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit website with a flash video.
2. Play video. (autoplays)
3. Wait a second and bug buddy pops up. Have to close it before Firefox is
usable again.

  
Actual results:


Expected results:

Really? XMMS is a standalone audio player, which has nothing
to do with flash plugin. This bug is misfiled. Next time, better
ask on fedora-list where to file a bug.
