Bug Description

Pretty sure this is a problem with the kaffeine-mozilla package

Pretty sure this is a problem with the kaffeine-mozilla package. Whenever I open any media in Firefox, e.g. a Quicktime movie at www.apple.com/trailers, or a radio feed on NPR.org, then Firefox simply disappears. Kaffeine successfully launches and loads the media, but Firefox dies.

I have reproduced this bug on 2 machines now: 1) An Intel Pentium III 700Mhz / 128MB RAM and 2) An Athlon XP 1600+ / 640MB RAM, both with Kubuntu Hoary (all packages updated to latest version), including the latest mozilla-firefox and kaffeine-mozilla packages from Universe.

This still appears in Breezy, but only when using the kaffeine-xine engine.

Is this still a problem in Dapper?

Can't confirm in Dapper because I'm not running Kubuntu Dapper (switched over to Ubuntu/Gnome) - sorry!

confirmed on kubuntu edgy, 6.10. easy url: http://www.cbc.ca/video
firefox 2.0 from ubuntu repositories, no extensions installed.
kaffeine starts up the stream, but firefox is dead.

on konqueror, it seems to crash also, but much later, can view
a few streams, but when you close the window, it dies.

(codecs etc... from easyubuntu, everything else is stock.)

work-around:

apt-get remove mozilla-kaffeine
install the MediaPlayerConnectivity Add-On to firefox.
Set all the players to kaffeine. works well.
