Hello. I've installed the latest mplayerplug-in from CVS this morning (21.02-03), compiled against mplayer 0.90Rc3, and have a slight problem. When I use the plugin with my own user account it works perfectly. When my wife reaches a page with content that would be played with it in a browser however, the browser crashes. (Mozilla goes down with no error messages I can see in the console).
Any ideas?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Where did you install the plugin? Which version of mozilla do you use? Did you check the permissions?
What does mozilla say about installed plugins, when your wife is logged in?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I installed it in /usr/local/mozilla/plugins, and symlinked it to the phoenix plugin directory.
The crash happens on Phoenix 0.5 as well as Mozilla 1.2.1 on her account. The permissions are exactly the same as for other (working) plugins.
( -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root)
I've installed shockwave with crossover for both users, but the other windows plugins now covered by mplayerplug-in have been uninstalled, so has plugger (which was causing some trouble).
I Mozilla, about:plugins shows exactly the same output as for my user account too, with the correct filetypes indicated, so really I am at a loss here. MPlayer works as a stand-alone player in her user- account as well as in mine.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hm. I had problems (crashes) with mozilla 0.98, but since I installed 1.2.1 it works fine. I also use plugin 0.32 and MPlayer 0.9rc3
Do you use the same settings in ~/.mplayer/config ?
Did you try Konqueror with the plugin?
You can try: "mplayer http://some.url.here -v " and check the output to verify that it is not mplayer that crashes although this should not affect mozilla.
You can also try the following:
rename her ~/.mozilla directory to .mozilla.backup or something and copy yours into her homedriectory, set correct permissions and start mozilla - this can show if it is a configuration problem.
If it is so, save the most import things and delete her old ~/.mozilla directory.
Sorry that I do not know too much about all these things, but perhaps you can now get closer to the problem.

Hello,
I got a similar problem, but it never works for me, neither as root nor user.

That's how it ends. I use the mplayerplug-in 0.33...
Any idea ?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I recompiled after noticing that my cvs version of MPlayerplug-in was identified as 0.33, and knowing 0.34 was out. The problem now magically disappeared and both users can now watch streams in Mozilla etc. It still escapes me why it didn't work in her account when it did in mine, considering that permissions were correct (and the same as now). I also compiled 0.34 against the same version and build of MPlayer, with no changed dependancies I can think of. The problem is solved now though, and that's the important thing, right?

It was probably due to permissions on the log files. This has been changed in v0.33 and v0.34 as log files are now optional.
