 Hmm that seems to be a flash related problem...  With an older
 netbsd-native firefox but with nspluginwrapper and libflashsupport with
 flash9 it seems to work here, but I also had to use the
 kern.ipc.shmmaxpgs=262144 sysctl for flash not to crash.

 I guess that to diagnose this PR more information is needed on your
 setup...

 Thanks,

 flash should not be involved here, and I have no plugin for that installed.
 Note that the video feature is one of the new things in 3.5*

 On 4.99.15/amd64, it doesn't die, but it gets incredibly slow.
 (I have noscript installed, so I have to confirm execution of the
 video first.)

 Doh, 5.99.15/amd64 of course.

 Do you have a working sound card on /dev/audio? I have noticed
 that video works relatively well on my i386 netbook with sound, but
 is very sluggish on a -much- faster amd64, which also doesn't have
 audio hardware.

 It is a fast amd64 with working audio (though I sometimes get a kind
 of persistent stuttering sound, like samples get reordered wrongly or
 so -- independent of firefox of course).

 It is not 100% reproducable. It looks like a memory corruption problem
 in liboggplay, the segfaults happen in free/realloc and friends.

 I think there might still be a problem with the audio output on
 64-bit platforms. I don't currently have a machine with working audio
 to test on, so if someone wants to take over this PR please do.

 Looks like problems with the sunaudio output.
 Switching to oss output dramatically improves playback.

 Still crashes for me (though the crash is not as fast reproducable any
 more, need to play a few more videos).

 I just want to note that this also occurs on firefox 4.0.1 from
 pkgsrc-2011Q2; embedded "HTML5" player is very slow and unstable, often
 crashing.
