feedback on nsplugin

Hi all, First to the developers: thanks for this plugin, it seems to work and develop really nice. I experience a problem using it in Konqueror (kde 3.11 cvs) that does not occur in Mozilla 3.1. Only part of the movie is shown, in the upper-left corner. This occurs for every movie I look at, for all types of movies and for all examples you give at the HOWTO page. I already contacted George Staikos about this, who is the person that maintains the ns plugin loader in KDE. He tells me it is a problem with mplayerplug-in and advised me to contact you. For your reference I include his analysis and my earlier email to him. Thanks again! John van Spaandonk __________________ |

I know, I know :-) I meant mplayerplug-in, not kmplayer. This was a misstake in the mail that I sent to George So I am on the correct mailinglist, but thx for letting me know :-) Best John On Tuesday 04 March 2003 07:51, Sylvain Petreolle wrote: > If you are using kmplayer, this is the wrong list... > > > I am playing with version 0.5 of kmplayer, a netscape plugin for > > mplayer > > > that allows me to watch (a.o.) apple quicktime movies. > > =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D > Sylvain Petreolle > spe...@us... > Fight Spam !

John, Actually I have seen and am seeing this problem now with Konqueror. And I actually believe the issue is with the ns plugin for Konqueror. the problem is that when you use the mplayerplug-in with mozilla it asks for the window size. In mozilla this size is either reported as 0x0 or the correct size. In Konqueror this size is reported as 1600x1200 (my screen is 1400x1050) or some other large size or the correct size. If you resize the Konqueror window while the video is playing it will adjust to the correct size. So I think the problme is in the nsplug in reporting the wrong initial window size. If it were to report 0x0 that would be much better. from the mpp.log file when running in debug mode under Konqueror Window -- 0x4800010 URL -- http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/ File -- /tmp/kde-kdekorte/nspluginviewervwXu7bplugger Size 1600x1200 Embed Size 0x0 Obviously the 1600x1200 is wrong because my screen is only 1400x1050 Now I could correct for this in my plugin, but I don't thing that altering it like this is corrrect, becasue some people can have a screen that big or bigger and what would the values be in that case?

Hi Kevin,=20 Thx for the fast reply... Mmm, I'm getting quickly out of my depth here between your and George's rep= ly. I'm only an ingnorant user! (is there actually such a thing?) :-) Anyway, I am cc'ing George because I guess it may be that a discussion betw= een you two is necessary to bring mplayerplug-in to konqueror...=20 George: I hope this is alright with you... George: one thing I'm wondering about is this: if like you say the konquero= r=20 plugin behaves a bit differently than netscape, mozilla (, ...?) browsers,= =20 will this not lead to similar problems in the future with other 3d party=20 plug-ins?=20 Please excuse my ignorance if I said something stupid... ;-) Kevin, thanks for doing what I should have done myself (creating a log.) I'm not sure I fully agree with you that a modification of your plugin would necessarily lead to unpredictable results (at least that's how I understand your remarks) =46rom George's comments I deduce that he expects you to ask for the screensize a bit later in the process, no? Presumably the screensize that is reported at that stage will be correct. Again, I hope I did not say anything stupid. Well, at this stage I'm afraid my usefullness has ended :-( Or, at least I will wait a bit what your and George's reactions will be before I start doing something dangerous like delving into the code myse= lf=20 :-P Thanks for your input(s), John On Tuesday 04 March 2003 16:40, Kevin DeKorte wrote: > John, > > Actually I have seen and am seeing this problem now with Konqueror.

Just because the behaviour is slightly different doesn't mean it's incorrect according to the rules (afaik). However I would definitely try to make things behave in the most compatible way. > > Actually I have seen and am seeing this problem now with Konqueror.

I will try with a size of (0,0) to see how the plugins accept it. Originally (when I first took over this code), it was something like 800x600, which caused problems with plugins not wanting to scale larger than that initial value, which is why I made it 1600x1200. If setting the initial size to (0,0) is the correct behaviour, and it works for my test plugins, then I will definitely change it for 3.1.1 and 3.2.0. Do you know if this is documented anywhere? Thanks for the information. I'll run my tests as soon as the liveconnect code I'm working on is in CVS. -- George Staikos |
