Package: mozilla-mplayer
Version: 3.15-1
This bug seems to still be existant in CVS.
If trying to use the web radio with some real streams on the swedish
public service radio's web site at http://www.sr.se/ the plugin fails.
Basically what the content provider is doing is trying to create a web
radio window with minimal controls according to instructions found on
the following web site:
http://service.real.com/help/library/guides/production8/htmfiles/control.htm
They specify to use the statusbar and controlpanel attributes, which I
guess is ok with real player. However the mplayer plugin makes the
assumption that any window that specifies these attributes is either
1) a pure control window
2) a mix of control and video window
A pure audio window is neither. But still the if-logic in plugin-setup.cpp
marks the window a control window (controlwindow=1) thus disabling audio
output. From what I understand from the code comments, it assumes there
MUST be another instance running - which is not the case here.
My work-around was to comment out a few lines according to the attached
patch. This I assume breaks other web pages, which have separated
control and media windows.
A couple of simpler webpages to demonstrate the problem are attached as
well.
I don't know the proper fix. Upstream is X-Debbugs-Cc:ed, but I'm not
sure if that list is moderated or if this mail will actually get there.
