There is a screenshot to show this problem.

The screenshot shows that the mozilla offical I played was already in about 1 minute. However, the video was still on the first second. I think it is even a title picture without video.

Do you have the gstreamer packages from the tainted repository installed?

Yes, I have. I can use Totem(the Gnome Movie Player) to play MP4 or something like that. And the Chromium can work well in html5, although it does not support h.264.

Working fine here, with firefox-17.0.1-3.mga2 on Mageia 2 x86-64.

My result is very different from yours. Can you check for me, and teach me how I can fix?

The most differences between you and me are these things. However, I don't think gnome-mplayer and its firefox plugins are a big deal of html5 video playback. Isn't it? 

Whatever, after installing these, it still can't work.

I would like to report that I'm having the same issue with FF 17.0.1 ESR on Mga3 Alpha2, Gnome 3.6. x86-32!

I'm not home at this moment to check the /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/. I guess I would check /lib32 instead of 64 also.

Thnx.

I posted this in the Mga forum also and have a link with my screenshot about this issue.

Comment 10 David Walser 2013-02-09 13:16:22 CET
Is this still valid?
Comment 11 David Walser 2013-02-11 14:43:18 CET
If this doesn't work for anyone, see if you have gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed.
Comment 12 Stephen Pettin 2013-02-12 05:32:25 CET
I'll have to check it out later when I'm home. I do have gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed, I think I got an update for it yesterday or today. But I can't say if I had gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed when I posted initially.

diogenese on IRC says this is working with gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed.
