Dreacon 1 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Has anyone else had an issue with the newest firefox update? After the update I am no longer able to hear sound even when using direct method through media browser, although I still get sound from streaming sites like hulu. It works fine in chrome still.
Luke 40123 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Tests fine here. Please see http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/790-how-to-report-a-problem/
Dreacon 1 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Windows 8 x64 Firefox Version 33.0 MBS Version 3.0.5395.0 Chrome Version 38.0.2125.104 works fine. Re-install of firefox did nothing. says the transcode file is too big for me to upload but here are these logs. server-63549228533.txt server-63549187200.txt Edited October 18, 2014 by Dreacon
Luke 40123 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 please post the media info from the web client

Luke 40123 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 i cannot reproduce this. we'll have to keep an eye on it and see if others report it.
Dreacon 1 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 No problem. Still works in MBC and chrome just fine.
Dreacon 1 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 Some more info if it might help. After some more research I have found that sound works fine for MKV files through my firefox, just not mp4.
ebr 15674 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 I'm a neophyte at this stuff but isn't that a really low audio bitrate?
Luke 40123 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 it's low but should be playable. it looks like Firefox issue to me. In one of this logs FF was direct streaming the mp4 with no transcoding happening at all. At that point MBS isn't really involved so you can't really point the finger there. the media info looks fine for direct stream so i don't think it's an issue where we're direct streaming when we shouldn't be.
Dreacon 1 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 Solved. It appears that after the firefox update firefox started using the hdmi audio connection to a tv I have connected to the system, totally ignoring windows default audio device settings. Don't know what caused it to switch to that but I just disabled that audio device in my pc to fix it for now. 1
Dreacon 1 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 Actually disabling the device didn't work either. I did solve it by disabling windows default mp4 in media foundation using codec tweak tool though. Works fine now.
Luke 40123 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 well that's something new. it looks like firefox is now relying on system codecs as opposed to handling it internally. i don't think they were doing that up until now. i guess in theory that could make it easier to broaden support, at the expense of situations like this where things don't work,
