Description of problem: Since the update to xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.1-0.4.20100705git37b348059.fc14.x86_64 nearly all youtube videos are colored pink. Can reproduce with Firefox and Google-Chrome. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.1-0.4.20100705git37b348059.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Just go to Youtube. Actual results: Videos colored in pink. Expected results: No pink videos. Additional info: I'm using Flash 10.3 d162 The latest available version for 64-bit available from: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html
a) 64bit flash plugin is unsupported and not completely reliable especially with later versions of Fedora (it is broken and incompatible with the latest versions of glibc), b) are you able to reproduce the same issue with http://videos-cdn.mozilla.net/firefox/3.6/whatsnewin36.ogv (it should play with plain Firefox 3.6 without any plugins)? c) are you able to reproduce the issue in the Safe Mode (i.e., run firefox -safe-mode and then allow only plugins)? Thank you for any response
The OGV file plays fine. I can reproduce the pink Youtube videos with -safe-mode too. Since you've asked specifically for testing with Firefox I'd like to mention again that the same behaviour can bee seen with Google Chrome. So I don't think Firefox causes it. Usually the first Youtube video will play fine and anything that follows will be pink. Also this doesn't happen with Vimeo oder Dailymotion at all. Should probably mention my video card: ATI Radeon HD 3650 Mobile (r600)
i had the same problem (RHEL6). try to disable "hardware accelaration" in flash plugin, worked for me.
(In reply to comment #2) > The OGV file plays fine. I can reproduce the pink Youtube videos with > -safe-mode too. Yes, apparently the problem is somewhere in the flash player itself (which is supported by comment 3). > Since you've asked specifically for testing with Firefox I'd like to mention > again that the same behaviour can bee seen with Google Chrome. So I don't think > Firefox causes it. Sorry, that's my split personality ... I am also a bug triager on MoFo components, so when I saw problems in flash, I haven't expected this to be Xorg issue. SOrry, my mistake. > Usually the first Youtube video will play fine and anything that follows will > be pink. Also this doesn't happen with Vimeo oder Dailymotion at all. Yes, which is another proof that this is something outside of Fedora. I am sorry, but I have no other option than to close this bug as CANTFIX (because obviously we can do anything about bugs in flash-plugin). I am sorry.
> Yes, apparently the problem is somewhere in the flash player itself (which is > supported by comment 3). i did some tests and i'm not so sure about that. here're the involved components (all up to latest version): nsplugin-wrapper flash-plugin compiz without nsplugin-wrapper i don't get red videos at all, no matter which settings (compiz, hw accel, etc.). nsplugin-wrapper + flash-plugin w/ hw accel + compiz = no red videos. nsplugin-wrapper + flash-plugin w/o hw accel = no red videos. nsplugin-wrapper + flash-plugin w hw accel = red videos. so instead of disabling hw accel in flash-plugin i removed nsplugin-wrapper because it has some serious issues: Mar 3 19:53:16 bn1pcn135 kernel: npviewer.bin[3128]: segfault at 4c ip 00bb4a48 sp bf9daba4 error 4 in libc-2.12.so[b41000+185000] Mar 3 19:53:53 bn1pcn135 kernel: npviewer.bin[3821]: segfault at fc ip 02d08e1e sp bfe982f0 error 4 in libGL.so.1.2[2cdc000+8b000] Mar 6 15:15:11 bn1pcn135 kernel: npviewer.bin[3887]: segfault at 418 ip 01067d16 sp bfde5a88 error 6 in libflashplayer.so[dfa000+b5f000] after removing nsplugin-wrapper i haven't had any problems so far. no flash-plugin crashes, no red videos, etc. which is strange because the above messages indicate that the segfaults occured in the libraries not in npviewer.bin itself.
I'm not yet convinced that the flash-plugin is to be blamed. With the help of Matej we so far established that it isn't a bug in Firefox. Then again I filed this report for the radeon driver to begin with. Even though the 64-bit flash plugin is obiously beta and not supported be Fedora this could still be very well a bug in the radeon driver. After all the pink youtube videos starting showing up after an update for that driver while the flash plugin worked fine for months before this update.

Then again I filed > this report for the radeon driver to begin with. When I was saying “apparently the problem is somewhere in the flash player itself” I wasn’t clear enough. I didn't want to blame flash outright, it might be just doing something which we doesn't process correctly. However, we have really no way how to debug it (or it would take excessive amount of resources). So, once more, I am putting this bug on needinfo and asking you to provide reproduction with software provided by the Fedora project (i.e., no flash should be involved). When I said CANTFIX that meant what I was saying, not that there isn't a bug (I have no much opinion about that), but that we have not much possibility to reproduce it and analyze what's going on.
Besides, as I mentioned before, 64bit flash is known to be broken (bad sound because of incompatibility with later glibc; try to open http://live.twit.tv), so I am really not much persuaded that its bad behavior in other ways isn't caused by another (or same) bug of itself.
It's not only radeon, I have magenta videos on two systems with Intel graphics.
I have this problem in F14 but not F15 on the same hardware. Is Compiz at fault?

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

I can't replicate this issue on my F14, F15 and SL6 (I don't use nspluginwrapper) installs. I don't believe the issue lays with the 64 bit flashplugin or compiz. Reassigned to nspluginwrapper
If you have a problem with nspluginwrapper, just remove it. Adobe ships an official 64-bit flash now.
