Hi Kevin, I've got another one for you :) The following site contains links to some previously recorded sport footage. The media provider has put together a playlist that plays an ad for their sponsor first, then the footage. Using the latest nightly CVS of mplayerplug-in seems to result in the advertisement playing over and over without the footage. I was concerned that this may be a malformed playlist, so I used wget to download the ASX playlist, and played it directly using mplayer with the -playlist option. This worked as expected. The videos can be found on the following page: http://tvnz.co.nz/view/sport_index_skin/sport_index_group link I tested against: "Silver Ferns 76-20 Botswana (1:14:14)" We're still using debian sarge, firefox 1.5 with mplayer 1.0. Thanks again for your hard work! -- Alex. |

The problem was this There were 3 basically 3 items on the playlist. The link to doubleclick, and image url and the video. When mplayer tried to request the url of the image url it returned a 'No stream found' message and mplayerplug-in thought that the error was terminal and so it shut down mplayer. So I have disabled that check for now.

If you go to any of the sport pages on tvnz.co.nz, then select a short video (these are basically news segments), then mplayer gets stuck in an endless loop without playing anything. For example, http://tvnz.co.nz/, click on "sport", then "Rugby", then choose an item under the "rugby video" pane. Thanks again, Alex. |

On further investigation into this, I've found that using the latest version of mplayer (rc2, I was naughty and was previously using rc1) resolves this problem. However, I have noticed that the clips repeat endlessly when finished, and they don't do that when using media player under windows. Is there something obvious that I've missed? Thanks, Alex. |

Alex, That site specifies loop="0" which means something special to mplayer (repeat infinite) so I added a test case to the code that disables the loop when loop = 0 to CVS. BTW, have you tried gecko-mediaplayer. It worked correctly on this site.
