Description of problem: Midori can't play youtube videos without restricted multimedia codecs which are not by default in Fedora due to licensing and patent issues and crashes (disappears) when opening a youtube video. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): midori 0.5.11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Midori 2. Open youtube and run a random video Actual results: Midori crashes after asking for multimedia codecs to be installed (restricted ones) Expected results: Midori should be able to play youtube with the free webm codec the same Mozilla does. If not possible to do so, display an error in video playing and not play the video rather than crash completely. Additional info: Midori does not crash and plays youtube normally when the multimedia codecs it requires are enabled (through rpmfusion).
Midori asks for multimedia codecs when opening the Airbnb page as well. However it does not crash.
Can you get a stack trace of this crash? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces Or install abrt ( dnf groupinstall abrt-desktop ) and see if it can report the crash. Thanks.
Hi Kevin, abrt had problems reporting the crash. I will try to generate a stack trace.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
