I updated all of the components of my opperating system, and it no longer works.
The versions of relavent software are
Mozilla is version 1.7.12
Firefox is version 1.0.7
VLC is version 0.8.2
Here is a stripped down version of the HTML code that I am running (taken from the VLC Play Howto).
The "Play" links are included because of a bug in VLC vertions 0.8.2 that prevents autoplay from working properly.
The target points to a camera that I have installed on one of our static IP addresses.
The same issues are seen when the two targets point to two different cameras.
The cameras ship video in mjpeg format.
Code: Select all

The first window to be started plays video fine.
When the second window is started, Mozilla will either crash, or the second window will play a negative of the first window (white becomes black, black becomes green, etc.).
The html is based on the code in the VLC Play Howto, Chapter 4.
