Description of problem: Using Firefox plus the gnash plugin, attempting to view a YouTube video results in the correct display of the player element but the video area remains black and contains the message "An error occurred, please try again later." The video cannot be played. The video can be viewed on another computer running F14, Firefox, plus the proprietary flash plugin, so the problem appears to be with gnash. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-3.6.12-1.fc14.i686 gnash-plugin-0.8.8-4.fc14.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install firefox, gnash, gnash plugin 2. attempt to view YouTube page 3. Actual results: video is not displayed Expected results: video is displayed Additional info:
Do you have the required codecs installed? You need gstreamer-plugins-ugly, gstreamer-plugins-bad and gstreamer-ffmpeg from RPM Fusion.
I have all this stuff installed: ffmpeg-libs-0.6-4.20100704svn.fc14.i686 gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.11-1.fc14.i686 gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.16-2.fc14.i686 gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.25-1.fc14.i686 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.30-2.fc14.i686 gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.20-3.fc14.i686 Upon investigating, Add/Remove software reports I do not have these two: gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.20-3.fc14.i686 gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree-0.10.20-3.fc14.i686 I'll try installing those two and report back on the results.
bad-nonfree definitely shouldn't be needed, I'm not sure about whether bad is still needed (but it used to).

Ok, installed bad and bad-nonfree packages, then did a reboot. Still not working. I'm attaching a screen shot to show what I'm seeing. If there are any other codecs or packages you'd like me to installed, let me know and I'll try them. Or if there are any other packages you need me to report on, happy to do so.
http://www.gnashdev.org/?q=node/77 ... remove all cookies from youtube.com in Firefox and restart the browser. Does it help?
I tried that but it didn't help. Also used yum to uninstall firefox and gnash and reinstall, still nothing. Finally I uninstalled gnash and switched to the proprietary Adobe flash plugin. I'd prefer to use a free one so I'll check out gnash again when Fedora 15 rolls around.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Please see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F13_bugs#Gnash_fails_to_play_youtube_videos 0.8.8 should work without blocking youtube cookies, however for some unknown reason it fails for some users. Please try the above link and if it doesn't work, report your feedback upstream at : https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=gnash Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
