Streaming Video Crashes in FireFox

[LinuxHack]

Hi Evereyone:

I'm new to Sabayon Linux, But not Linux as a whole.

I've used almost Every Major Linux distro out there.
But I've got a rather peculiar problem

When I go to PLAY Streaming Video in Firefox it Crashes and kicks Firefox out completely.

It will Play the Flash ads fine, I'll go to run the Streaming Video.
It starts to Load, Black window comes up and says NO VIDEO!
The Video STARTS to Load and comes up with No Sound.

Then it just CRAP's Out...

What could it be?
Any Ideas?

I was thinking it might be a Sound Issue?
I've had this prob a couple of times before...
I'd Right Click on the Window where the Video would Come Up, Change around some of the Config settings, and it would run fine after that...

But I never had any prob with the Sound, I'd get No Video but I'd get sound???

Thanks in advance for any HELP and or Ideas....

I've got Several other questions, But I'll take them one at a TIME....

Could be the video card driver that is not properly installed or running / mis-configured.
Sound run " alsaconf " to configure it.

As root in tenrminal:
# su
passwd: root
# glxgears

It should give you a reasonable amount depending on your card likely 5000fps or more. If nasty 900fps then driver needs reinstalling , you can use kuroo or as root in terminal " emerge nvidia-driver" or if not sure about name " emerge -s nvidia " and then once name is known install it.
Do not use the emerge -u to update as you would want a clean reinstall.

Mine nvidia 7800gtx laptop

Code: Select all

localhost ~ # glxgears
65904 frames in 5.0 seconds = 13180.718 FPS
65255 frames in 5.0 seconds = 13050.818 FPS
65136 frames in 5.0 seconds = 13027.035 FPS

Thanks for the FAST response. I'll give'm a shot and let ya know how it goes...

Also again THANKS for the instructions I'm most Grateful...
Many will tell ya it's your drivers, but not tell the cmd lines, that are needed to be run in that OS.
I guess they figured If they knew, I knew...
And each OS is tweaked as we already know a Tad different...

it don't sound like a video card problem if that is only problem.

Do:

Code: Select all

USE="gtk quicktime divx gmedia realmedia wmp win32codecs nsplugins firefox xvid" emerge mplayerplug-in

and

Code: Select all

emerge -u mozilla-firefox

that should do it.

NOPE tried it CRAPPED OUT

I ended up doing a reinstall because it CRASHED X and wouldn't let me back in....

But in any event THANKS for the Help...

OK did this BUT....

After typing in the cmd lines you told me to...I GET....
Calculating Dependencies... A thing sits there and STARTS to spin like Crazy...

The thing Slows up it's spining, and SPINS & SPINS, but nothing happens....

I've let it run for 15 minutes with No Results...

Is this Normal, and if so how LONG does it take it to run???

Again THANKS for your HELP...

[wolfden]

well if it is your first time doing it, it can take a long time for some.

Once again THANKS so Much for the quick response.

A strange question though..

I also tried runnin Democracy TV, samething it loaded fine, but once it went to It's Screen it Crapped Out...

On a hunch I ran You Tube and their Videos ran GREAT....

Can't say it makes a whole lotta sence to Me, but things like this defy Logic....

I'll run your Cmd Lines again, and let them Play themselves out, And let you know how it goes...

do you have to take care of bookmarks extensions etc when doing emerge -u mozilla-firefox?

[Thrice]

nvm got it working
