[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#772421: xul-ext-video-without-flash: on YouTube, some videos are not played, other videos are shown partially

[Francesco Poli (wintermute)]

Package: xul-ext-video-without-flash
Version: 1.5.0-1
Severity: important

Hello,
thanks for packaging this possibly useful extension!

I am giving it a try, but I am experiencing some issues.
For instance, when trying to watch videos on YouTube, I seem to be
completely unable to watch some of them.
One example is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIj3kpPYh1M

which shows that "undefined undefined" text in the black rectangle,
and leads to the "This page isn't available. Sorry about that.
Try searching for something else." error message, when clicked.

Please note that, without the xul-ext-video-without-flash extension,
I can watch the video (with gnash) flawlessly.

Some other videos, such as for example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK588zl0l2M

seem to be watchable, but they are shown with images shifted down by
almost half height (with a black bar on the top and the bottom part
of the image not visible) and seem to lack a way to adjust the volume.
Right-clicking and selecting "Hide Controls"/"Show Controls" from the
context menu does not seem to change anything.
Please note that, if I can watch videos belonging to this second category,
by following the "Open in a new tab" link and then using the iceweasel
support for the webm format (thus not using flash, I think...).

Please also note that I have the xul-ext-noscript extension installed
and enabled, but allowing all YouTube JavaScript to be interpreted
does not make the issues vanish...

Can you reproduce the bugs I am experiencing?
Please investigate them and fix them or, maybe, forward my report upstream.

Thanks for your time,
bye.
