Gecko Media Player plus gXine works #6

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I thought that you may want to know this. Gecko Media Player plus the gXine
plug-in work together in Firefox 3. For instance, certain Apple trailers do
not work with the gXine plug-in alone:

Also, NASA videos don't work:

In both instances without GMP being installed, I get complaints about not
having Quicktime or WMP installed. Otherwise they work. To make sure this
was right, I removed Gnome Mplayer first and it works. Then I removed
Mplayer-svn and it still worked (I had one hard crash). I tried with just
the Xine plug-in with mixed results. Apple trailers work, but the NASA
stuff didn't.

For understanding, both Xine and gXine are from the developer's snapshot
from around two weeks ago. Xine plug-in I pulled from CVS today.

If you were into completing this chain and allowing GMP to also support
Xine, that would be a very happy thing.

For gecko-mediaplayer to work with xine a new backend line gnome-mplayer but 
based on
xine would have to be built. Since current mplayer handles the same media as 
xine
there is not much point to building a new backend.
