Chromebook's flash used by firefox works on test but fails in real life #377

Maybe it needs |
Those messages look mysterious. I remember similar messages, but that issue was fixed years ago. What version of freshplayerplugin do you use? Did you try the latest one from the repo? Is there any other site with similar error, preferably without required
That's unlikely. It's somehow related to privilege separation and sandboxing. (Also, I have no idea how to implement that from documentation only. It's to vague.) |
This is with latest git build built from aur (arch linux user repository): https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=freshplayerplugin-git Still not working and same set of messages.
This shows when loading video.

Got a (demo) subscription for WWE. And indeed, video doesn't play. For some reason Adobe's DRM test page fails too, but that may be some temporary issue at their site, since one of the responses is something like 500, internal server error. I see the same messages ( |
Hmm so it is specifically related how WWE network calls flash? |
It looks like so from the first glance. And it's more like something internal in Flash, not the application developer's code. Perhaps, freshplayerplugin calls Flash in a weird way, and that triggers unexpected path inside Flash code. I just don't know what went wrong. |
Well, I think, I know what causes the bug. NPAPI does not allow any custom headers for GET requests. Client can only choose an URL to retrieve. Every other headers such as referrer, user agent, and cookies, are provided by the browser. However, Flash want to set own header fields, and PPAPI was designed with that requirement in mind. I saw in tracing information that Flash tries to set custom NPAPI Flash already uses own network client. Looks like doing the same is the only option to fix this particular issue. There is no way to play by the rules of NPAPI. |
So you will be able to fix it? |
Yeah, eventually. |
I have extracted and installed pepper flash from chrome os backup image. When I try http://drmtest2.adobe.com:8080/SVP/SampleVideoPlayer_FP.html# with http://drmtest2.adobe.com:8080/Content/anonymous.f4v everything works just fine and train video plays.
Here is log:
But when I try to play real life web service (wwe network) it seems like it wants to start but then it fails.
In console, firefox will output:
and
over and over.
