If you right click on the video, do you get an "About Flash Player" option on the context menu?

The video works fine otherwise, it's just muted. Once it happens, it's true for all h.264 videos. I have to reboot to get the sound to come back. I'm on Windows 2008 R2. The problem is limited to Firefox (latest nightly). Is this a known issue, or should I report it?Ollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444195213875368350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537325711190185140.post-5174150492555256482013-02-08T03:03:54.234+13:002013-02-08T03:03:54.234+13:00@Chris Pearce: I believe what ksec meant was somew...@Chris Pearce: I believe what ksec meant was somewhat the opposite: replacing Flash-based H.264 video content by the native player.<br />I doubt Mozilla would do that for numerous reasons (not reliable, politically problematic [does it count as reverse-engineering if it's automatic?], features like overlays would go missing), but it shouldn't be hard to create a add-on for this or modify existing add-ons (e.g. FlashGot) in order to achieve that.boonifflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002058397247359996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537325711190185140.post-27723079123681342132013-02-08T03:03:39.858+13:002013-02-08T03:03:39.858+13:00This comment has been removed by the author.boonifflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002058397247359996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537325711190185140.post-39418521232462532802013-02-07T23:09:05.764+13:002013-02-07T23:09:05.764+13:00Give me S/PDIF passthrough and we'll have 1080...Give me S/PDIF passthrough and we'll have 1080p 6ch Youtube good to go.
