Package: mozilla-mplayer Version: 3.55-2 Severity: normal Hi and thanks for maintaining mozilla-mplayer in Debian!
This package works for me with several video formats, but fails to help me in viewing Ogg Video files. I haven't changed anything in the plugin configuration. The only configuration tweaking I performed is for mplayer: $ cat ~/.mplayer/config ao=jack,alsa volume=20 vo=xv $ grep mplayer ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list video/mpeg=mplayer.desktop video/vnd.mpegurl=mplayer.desktop video/x-msvideo=mplayer.desktop video/vnd.vivo=mplayer.desktop application/vnd.ms-asf=mplayer.desktop video/x-ms-asf=mplayer.desktop video/x-ms-wmv=mplayer.desktop application/x-quicktimeplayer=mplayer.desktop video/quicktime=mplayer.desktop video/mp4=mplayer.desktop video/fli=mplayer.desktop When I try to view an Ogg Video file from inside Galeon or Epiphany, the browser just offers me to save the file on disk. I instead expected to see mozilla-mplayer step in and visualize the video... One example is http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/debhelper_talk/ If I click on the image (which is a link to http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2009/debconf9/low/1060_Not_your_grandpas_debhelper.ogv), Galeon opens the following dialog window: | Save this file? | | 1060_Not_your_grandpas_debhelper.ogv | | Ogg Video | | http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian- | meetings/2009/debconf9/low/ | | It is not possible to view this file directly in | the browser. You can save it instead. | | [ Cancel ] [ Save ] A similar result is obtained with Epiphany. I tried to add some line to ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list (such as video/x-theora=mplayer.desktop), but it seems that nothing changed, even after restarting the browser. According to http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/config.php the configuration files read by the plugin are: /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf $HOME/.mozilla/mplayerplug-in.conf $HOME/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf In my case, those are the default ones: $ cat /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf #debug=0 #vo=xv,x11 #ao=arts,esd,oss #download=1 #dload-dir=$HOME/tmp #keep-download=0 #noembed=0 #cachesize=512 #use-mimetypes=0 #enable-ogg=1 #enable-smil=1 #enable-helix=1 #qt-speed=med #rtsp-use-tcp=0 #nomediacache=0 #framedrop=0 #autosync=0 #mc=1 #black-background=0 #user-agent=NSPlayer $ cat $HOME/.mozilla/mplayerplug-in.conf cat: /home/frx/.mozilla/mplayerplug-in.conf: No such file or directory $ cat $HOME/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf cat: /home/frx/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf: No such file or directory What's wrong? What did I fail to understand? I expected this plugin to work out of the box: it happens to do so with some proprietary video formats, but it fails to do so with the open and free software friendly Ogg format! :-o Very awkward! -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mozilla-mplayer depends on: ii epiphany-browser 2.26.3-2 Intuitive web browser - dummy pack ii galeon 2.0.7-1 GNOME web browser for advanced use ii iceweasel 3.0.9-1 lightweight web browser based on M ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii mplayer 1.0~rc3+svn20090405-1 movie player for Unix-like systems mozilla-mplayer recommends no packages. mozilla-mplayer suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
