From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008043010 Fedora/3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9 Firefox/3.0b5 Description of problem: Some Flash video streams don't work with Adobe's Flash plugin wrapped on a x86_64 system, but work wrapped on a i686 system. The Flash player doesn't crash. It just doesn't play the video. An example: http://www.tagesschau.de/multimedia/sendung/ts4932.html I tried to capture the network traffic with Wireshark. Please take a look at the attachments. After the Flash player is loaded on the i686 system, it sends a DNS request for the streaming server. This isn't the case on the x86_64 system. Something seems to prevent the flash plugin from doing some network activities. I suspect nspluginwrapper. But I don't know how to debug further. Things like YouTube work without a problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-27.fc9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the mentioned URL 2. Start the video 3. Look what (not) happens Actual Results: On a x86_64 the video doesn't play, but it does on a i686 system. Expected Results: The video should play on a x86_64 system too!

This can be fixed by installing the package nss-mdns.i386 I guess this dependency should be in flash-plugin.i386. So there is not much we can do.
Another note: this only happens if nss-mdns.x86_64 is installed. It's not clear to me which component is to blame. It could be everything from flash-plugin to glibc/nscd. Perhaps it could even be considered as NOTABUG.
