Broken EMBED type="application/x-mplayer2".Read Additional info

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a web site with the following object with Opera
2. Observe that gecko-mediaplayer is not loading 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Embedded video/audio. Result - grey frame(AKA gome-mediaplayer not loaded)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gecko-mediaplayer 0.9.5 and latest SVN
opera 9.64 Build 2480 (Linux,ppc64)

Additional information below.
Works flawlessy with mplayerplug-in.
The problem is that the plugin is not reading the params if the value is 
"double quoited".
Example
<param name="AnimationAtStart" value = "1">
but if the params are 'single quoited' works
Example
<param name='AnimationAtStart' value = '1'>
I am attaching a file with a example of the hole block.

Ps.s I'm a bit tired ( 2.46pm) so sorry for any typos

Seems to work fine in Firefox, I'm contacting someone at Opera over it.

I think that it may be a ./configure parameter (or something), because the
mplayerplug-in was a rpm package while both versions of gecko-mediaplayer were 
build
on my system.
All I did was 
./configure && make && make install
Then copy the plugins from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ to /usr/lib/opera/plugins/
(ie install does not find opera installed ?)

I was looking at the file you attached, and the object tag may be ignored when 
you
have an <embed> tag present and that could be why the content is blank cause the
embed tag has an invalid src attribute.

I am a bit curious how gecko-mediaplayer does not work but mplayerplug-in 
works. I 
thought that gecko-mediaplayer is based on your previous project.
I just came across something interesting. When I open opera in terminal I have 
some 
"nice" output. See the file attached

Does gnome-mplayer work to play videos? And you say that if you switch it to use
single quotes then it works?

Also have you tried this in firefox? And if so does it work there? the plugin 
itself
really does not see a difference between the single and double quotes cause 
those are
not normally passed to the plugin.

Duh... yeah this seems to be a bug in the opera plugin... for some reason all 
the

Look at width and height.. those should be numbers and not a URL.. I think the 
opera
team should be able to correct that pretty easily.

Actually after a lot of testing and stuff I found out what might be the problem.
It is a Opera issue because the plugin works flawlessly with Firefox (all the 
parameters/values are correct). The problem occurs ONLY (in my testing) when 
the 
source is a mms:// stream.
Example
src = 'mms://somesite/etc....'

BUT if it is a src = 'http://some_site/some_file_containing_a_link_to_a_mms://
_stream' then it workswithout a problem.

Also I managed to find a temporary "fix" (call it however you want) for the 
issue.
Go to Opera's Settings>protocols and add the mms protocol and choose some 
program 
with it, then Opera passes the right parameters/values to the plugin.
 The hole situation requires a lot of investigation from Opera team.

kdekorte if you already contacted opera regarding this situation please update 
them, 
if not just tell me the word and I'll file it into their bugs system.
With all my respect I thought it was a plugin bug , but the deeper I dug I 
found out 
that it's not.

Unfortunatlly I came across something else Issue 19

Did a newer build of opera fix this bug?
