[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.0
2. Launch Firefox 4.0b7

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.0 on Debian Testing

Please provide any additional information below.
I compile gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.0. 

From firefox about:plugins, all plugins are correctly installed but when i go 
to any .mp3 or other media pages appear a black page with no 
audio/video/interfaces.

I've just disable any others plugins like totem/vlc (only gecko-mediaplayer is 
present.

I use xulrunner1.9.1 packaged for my Debian to compile.

You must compile against xulrunner 2.0 to use it with Firefox 4

Yes i know..but i've tried before to download xulrunner 2.0 from mozilla 
nightly ftp, i've tryed to link to my system with no results.

You know where can i find a deb of xulrunner 2.0 for my debian?
I've tryed also with ubuntu ppa package version but have no satisfied some 
dependence..

Thank you

you probably need to get the xulrunner-sdk v 2 and then compile 
gecko-mediaplayer against it using the --with-xulrunner-sdk option  (read the 
help in configure --help) on how to use it.

But this issue is closed..this is a make error

please post then entire configure output, I'm guessing you are specifying the 
argument incorrectly.

I got the SDK from here: 

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/nightly/latest-trunk/

Make sure you get the tar file with sdk in the name

I downloaded it to ~/Downloads

I extracted it so that the created directory was in ~/Downloads/xulrunner-sdk

I switched to ~/svn/gecko-mediaplayer

ran make clean

ran ./configure --prefix=/usr 
--with-xulrunner-sdk=/home/kdekorte/Downloads/xulrunner-sdk/ --enable-new-libxul

Note that using the full path for SDK is important

ran make

Code compiled clean

You can ignore the warning... and it looks like the make succeeded...

you can copy the .so files into the firefox 4 plugin directory and it should 
work.

- I have downloaded gecko-mediaplayer-1.0.0.tar.gz & extract on my Desktop

- I have downloaded xulrunner-2.0b8pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.sdk.tar.bz2 from 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/nightly/latest-trunk & extract 
on my Desktop

- I open a terminal and:

$ cd /home/fabrizio/Scrivania/gecko-mediaplayer-1.0.0 #(Scrivania is Desktop 
name in italian)

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr 
--with-xulrunner-sdk=/home/fabrizio/Scrivania/xulrunner-sdk/ --enable-new-libxul

I receive a configure error:
config.status: WARNING:  'po/Makefile.in.in' seems to ignore the --datarootdir 
setting

I attach my complete configure output & my make output

Thanks for the support

Fabrizio

The .so files should be in the src directory. Your output does not show any 
errors.

perhaps running 

autoreconf -fiv 

And then make again may help.

I personally tested the nightly build of Firefox 4b8pre using the xulrunner-sdk 
instructions and found that the build I had from a few days ago would not play 
videos using gecko-mediaplayer. I wen to help About Minefield and let it 
download the latest update and after that videos worked. 

So it appears that the browser had been broken with plugins.

Ok make & checkinstall is now ok this was my error (thanks kdekorte :) ):

./configure --with-xulrunner-sdk=/home/fabrizio/Scrivania/xulrunner-sdk 
--enable-new-libxul

instead of:

./configure --prefix=/usr 
--with-xulrunner-sdk=/home/fabrizio/Scrivania/xulrunner-sdk/ --enable-new-libxul

about:config reveal all plugin installed but firefox 4 not reproduce any media

I use release 4.0b7 (not nightly)
I will try with nightly 

A question: i have gnome-mplayer packeged for debian testing at version 
0.9.9.2, i heve to install or compile version 1.0 to work with 1.0 plugin?

Thanks again

Fabrizio

Yes you need gnome-mplayer 1.0.0 to work with gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.0

Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 15 Nov 2010 at 8:09

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Its work but only in nightly !!

 - I compiled & install gnome-mplayer 1.0 but plugin not work in firefox 4.0b7
 - I download nightly version (minefield 4.0b8) from here (64 bit):
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-l1
0n/

With this version plugin work !!

Why firefox 4.0b7 is not implemented?

Very very thanks kdekorte for exhaustive support.
