Description of problem: The 'Freedom Fry - "Happy Birthday to GNU"' video on the GNU website fails to play in Firefox. One would expect this to play, given that GNU isn't going to publish a video that's based on proprietary goo. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open firefox. 2. Go to http://www.gnu.org/fry/ 3. Click play Actual results: Video completely fails to play. Expected results: Video playing. Cheese and all.
a) they used Java applet for playing the video (which seems silly to me -- I would prefer OGG, which they have only as an alternative download, but whatever), b) works on Rawhide -- I don't know whether there will be java upgraded for F9 Works with: java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-1.1.b12.fc10.i386 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.1.b12.fc10.i386 Anyway, reassigning to java folks.
Created attachment 321710 [details] Warning popup about proprietary and free formats. It's somewhat surprising that it's telling me an Ogg Theora + Ogg Vorbis video is a proprietary format...
I've just tried it out in a new user on my machine. It first tries Java, then it tries Totem. The Totem one seems to work after telling me that the video is in a proprietary format (which is a load of bunk, as it's Ogg Theora).
This isn't a java plugin problem, but a totem/firefox plugin problem.
