Description of problem: Viewing flash videos at bbc.co.uk does not work and eats all available memory and swap in the process. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnash-plugin-0.8.2-2.fc9.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit a bbc flash video eg. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/mid/7381995.stm with firefox and the gnash flash plugin installed. Actual results: System becomes unresponsive, requires reboot. Expected results: Video plays.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Not able to reproduce with Fedora 9 i386 with latest updates: [psj@localhost ~]$ rpm -q gnash gnash-0.8.3-6.fc9.i386 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/mid/7381995.stm in Firefox with the Gnash plugin installed 2. Press the play button in the Flash video 3. The video goes blank and does not play but the browser and desktop remain responsive and memory usage for gtk-gnash and firefox processes remain stable Does this work for you with latest release (or at least not consume all memory)?
I cannot reproduce it either.
I don't have F9 installed any more but the issue is not present in F10 Preview.
Ok, closing, thanks.
