Cortado applet trouble

[Holmes Wilson]

Hey everyone,

Holmes from FSF here. Having some trouble with Cortado playback after
using "ffmpeg2theora -p videobin" for encoding. Applet loads, and
playback never starts in Firefox 3.0.1

I was going to suggest it was likely a certificate problem since that
is the common issue with Cortado. However, I can't even load that
page under Firefox 3.0 on Linux -- it immediately freezes the browser
-- so I can't see the code.

I suspect that if the applet is hosted internally the file may be
corrupted, but that's just a guess. I recommend instead that you hop
in into the theora-zeIfkxP3e/***@public.gmane.org mailing list (subscribe first) and ask for
help there. Xiph is the current maintainer of Cortado.

You're loading the applet from a different protocol to that of the
video. Java's security model doesn't allow this unless the applet is
signed I believe. You're loading the jar from ftp://... and the video
from http://...
