Benno,

This is very confusing because I have that URL working here. I have uploaded a 
newer patch to CVS. See if that helps.

It looks like you did get the right code installed since I am seeing this line

You might try running your browser from a terminal, because some debugging 
information comes out there too. Also make sure when you run it that no other
browser processes exist. (ps -eaf | grep mozilla) is what I use to check

Jonny,

This is fixed in the latest CVS. I had the same problem with atom films.

Hi Kevin, thanks for your quick response,
I downloaded and compiled your new CVS release

this time I enabled debug and logging.
Unfortunately it still does not work.
I report the log here, hopefully it helps you to figure out what is still

Re: [Mplayerplug-in-devel] Problems with Windows Media w/o extensions, ideas ecc

[Kevin DeKorte <kdekorte@ya...>]

Some comments on this

The page has an embed tag that looks something like this

<embed src=3Dmms://deejay.wm.p1.str3.com/djradio type=3Dms-asf-plugin=20
plugin=3D.......etc >=20

The mplayerplug-in was ignoring the src element. I have fixed the plugin to=
=20
recognize it now.

However, when the plug asked for the URL it was supposed to load mozilla ga=
ve=20
back:=20
http://www.deejay.it/player/player.php?audio=3Dlive&video=3D&formato=3Dwind=
owsmedia

Which is the page, but not the location of the media. I think this is why=20
plugger fails as well.=20

So fixing the mplayerplug-in did correct the problem where the embed tag ha=
d=20
the right media url, but mozilla was passing the page in as the URL.

So update the code from CVS and see if that helps.

Re: [Mplayerplug-in-devel] Problems with Windows Media w/o extensions, ideas ecc

[Kevin DeKorte <kdekorte@ya...>]

Benno,

Thanks for the comments. Based on the comments below the following things have 
been addressed and are fixed in CVS

1. Media Files without extensions

Actually, the problem was that the correct URL was not being passed to 
mplayer. There was a problem with scanning the embed tag that caused the 
first item to be skipped. In this case it was "src" which is the URL where 
the media was coming from. Don't know how we have had this error for so long.

Also, fixed it where in WriteReady the url was being overwritten. Still need 
to test this more fully before a release.

2. I think the miniskin in the noembed=1 case is kinda weird. I would NOT 
recommend having these to options in the config file

# bad example
use-gui=mini
noembed=1

this could lead to the skin floating around in an undetermined spot.


So install the code from CVS and see if these problems are fixed for you. In 
my testing I found that it worked pretty good. But now I have to retest 
everything.

Kevin

[Mplayerplug-in-devel] Problems with Windows Media w/o extensions, ideas ecc

[Benno Senoner <benno@ga...>]

Hi (I'm new)
first kudos for this very nice plugin.

I'd like to point out some problems I encountered so that they
can be hopefully sorted out soon.
I'm using RedHat 8.0, MPlayer 0.90rc4 and mplayerplug-in 0.40 (tarball).


1) problems with windows media files without extension:

For example I tested the plugin on an italian webradio that uses Windows Media
(for audio streaming but they offer video streams too) and it did not work
because the streams do not have an file extension.

The page that contains the stream: 
http://www.deejay.it/player/player.php?audio=live&video=&formato=windowsmedia

The embedded audio stream contained in the page:
mms://deejay.wm.p1.str3.com/djradio

if I pass this url to mplayer I can hear the audio stream without problems,
but the mplayerplug-in ignores that stream problably because the lack of a
file extension.

looking at the plugin's source I see this definition in Source/mplayerplug-in.c
within the function NPP_GetMIMEDescription()

"video/x-ms-asf-plugin:asf,asx:Windows Media;"

I'm not an expert in mime types etc, but I guess that the presence of 
asf,asx in this line prevents the plugin to call mplayer when the
"video/x-ms-asf-plugin" mime type is found.

So I guess you should change the plugin's behaviour to always call mplayer
regardless of an asf,asx extension being present.

Is this possible ?


2) problems with the mini skin disappearing when using embed=yes

For example if you go to http://www.zdf.de , select ZDF Mediathek (on the left menu)
select windows media, and then click on play, the video appears, 
the navbar.
Only play/stop works, seeking via navbar does not seem
supported while in streaming mode but this seems to be an mplayer issue.

The strange thing is that if you click on the navbar (within the timeseek bar)
it disappears from the window.

An additional issue with the mini theme is that it does IMHO offer too little
visual control to the user for seeing what is currently going on with the stream.

On the other hand if you do not select mini skin, mplayerplug-in does not show
mplayer's GUI (eg default skin) while in embed=yes mode. This means that
the user cannot figure out what's going on in case of problems with
the audio/video stream (eg connection stalled etc).

So I think one of the most comfortable way to run mplayerplug-in is to
set embed=on and use-guy=yes so that the default mplayer skin appears.
This is particularly useful when listening to webradio where no video window
is present.

Perhaps it would be even better to have a mini skin (that doesn't disappear)
with a time indicator so that the user can see if the stream is advancing or
is stalled.

While testing I discovered an additional problem with mplayer freezing
after playing a streaming WMV file (mms://.. ).
This happens in both cases when mplayer is called from the commandline and when
it is called through the plugin. 
For example try to play a WMV stream from zdf.de with embed=no,use-gui=yes
The playback works ok, you can for example close gmplayer in the middle of the 
stream (by closing the video windows) causing it to exit in the correct manner.
But if you wait until the video is finished then the gmplayer GUI freezes
and you are unable to close the application (neither by trying to close
the video windows, the GUI window).
When you close the webpage that contains the video object then it closes
gmplayer but this is probably due to a kill signal sent by mplayerplug-in.
But as said this is an mplayer problem since it happens too when
calling the player from the commandline (with the mms://.. video stream as argument)

Today I posted about this problem on the mplayer-users list, let's see 
what they say.

PS: If you want me to perform more tests with mplayerplug-in, let me know
please.

I think once these small problems will go away, mplayerplug-in and mplayer
will really improve the multimedia web experience on the Linux.

cheers,
Benno

[Mplayerplug-in-devel] Updated Website

[Kevin DeKorte <kdekorte@ya...>]

All,

It seems that many people have been having issues with the plugin recently. I 
have updated the site with instructions on how to confirm that you have the 
plugin and mplayer properly installed. 

Please consult that documentation.

If a match is found for a config option, go ahead and skip to the next

[Mplayerplug-in-devel] Assistance configuring mplayerplug-in

[Brad Chapman <jabiru_croc@ya...>]

I have mplayerplug-in v0.40 and MPlayer 0.90rc10 on my system. I've
tried to configure mplayerplug-in, after grepping the source to find
the location of the config file. I can;t get skin support or GUI support
to work correctly, and while the plugin is correctly installed according
to Mozilla 1.0.1's about:plugins page, it won;t play embedded movies. I
would like some help configuring this plugin.

TIA,

Brad Chapman

Re: [Mplayerplug-in-devel] [Bug] Missfeature

[Benjamin Larsson <banan@st...>]

When I add the $HOME/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf file nothing works. 
The only thing I get is
the loading message. I tried enable debugging but something is wrong. 
Maybe it fails parsing the
configfile ? Can I force debugging from the source ? I'm running mplayer 
0.9rc4 + plugin 0.4.

Todd,

Thanks for the patch. I had to alter it abit to get it in the code. And I to 
work around some stuff in gmplayer. But I think I got it. It is in CVS now, 
can you check it and see that it is working right. 

Thanks again

[Mplayerplug-in-devel] [PATCH] implement 'scale' attribute used by QT plugin.

[Todd Kirby <slapcat@pa...>]

Hi,

I made a small change to allow mpp to use the QT Plugin's 'scale' 
attribute to maintain aspect. I only implemented scale="ASPECT" since 
the other options aren't all that useful and we don't use them in our apps.

More info on the scale attribute can be found at 
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/authoring/embed2.html#scale

Thanks for a great plugin!

[Mplayerplug-in-devel] vo/ao settings bug

[Henry Simpson <wonderbread55@ya...>]

From the 0.40 release

if (This->vo) 
{
  argv[i++] = "-vo";
  argv[i++] = strdup(This->vo);
}
if (This->vo)  // bug, should be This->ao
{
  argv[i++] = "-ao";
  argv[i++] = strdup(This->ao);
}

Some documentation on the format of the
mplayerplug-in.conf file would be nice.  Had to figure
it out by looking at the source.

Overall, a much better solution than plugger and its
'swallow' crap.

Fabian,

Thanks for making the patch. I was totally swamped at work the other day and 
didn't have a chance to work thru the changes. (10 hours with 3 sun servers, 
getting them ready for a new project). I did make one addtion to the patch. 
You'll see it in the next release. 

I'm building everything now and am going to do some testing and then I think 
I'll release the code.

Well, it's working with current mplayer cvs,

In the few minutes I have used your new plug-in
I did not find any new bug ;)

Just to make your job harder try this site for testing
http://trailers.warnerbros.com/web/index.jsp

PS
sorry I have no time to look for bebugging at the code,
I'm more busy than you , or just lazy, but I'll try to send some *hard* 
link that are not ready for primetime with mplayerplug-in.

[Mplayerplug-in-devel] ANNOUNCE v0.40

[Kevin DeKorte <kdekorte@ya...>]

Ok, I have applied Fabian's patches and added a few
things myself and so v0.40 is out there. To enable the
gui support read the ChangeLog and get mplayer
0.90rc4. It may not be out yet, but it is close.

I've done some testing and things look ok. I did not
have time to add support for any new sites ie
ifilm.com is still broke I think. But I have been
kinda busy this week with my job. So when things calm
down I'll spend some time.

Tips:

Compile on the machine you are going to run on both
the plugin and mplayer.
