I forgot to tell that When I start Firefox via terminal and try to play the TV 
from http://tv7.bg/liveTV/ I see this message:

You might try upgrading to 1.0.5 of gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer. But 
based on the information in the log, it doesn't look like Firefox is getting 
you the needed information to plat the stream.

With Totem player and totem-mozplugin the stream is working. But I prefer to 
use Gecko-mediaplayer. Is there a repo's for 1.0.5 version of the player and 
the plugin?

I tried to view source code of the page, found and get the "mms" link and put 
it on the Gnome-mplayer - File - Open location. The stream works. Somthing 
wrong with gecko-mediaplayer may be?!?

Original comment by dobsto on 18 Mar 2012 at 9:45

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

As I said before the webpage is not providing the "embed" tag in a form that 
gecko-mediaplayer recognises, the site does not actually provide "embed" at all 
and that is how gecko-mediaplayer gets the metadata to play the media on the 
site. As this point I don't see anyway that gecko-mediaplayer can get this 
data. Totem works a different way and that is why it works.

OK! Thank you! Perhaps I was wrong - I think that the stream worked with gecko 
before. And I post the problem in some other forums where some people tell me 
that the stream works with gecko at them.

Original comment by dobsto on 19 Mar 2012 at 8:12

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

The stream works on other systems with CentOS and gecko-mediaplayer, but with 
0.9.2 version of a gnome-player and plugin, or version 1.0.4 of both - player 
and plugin. My Player is 1.0.0 version and gecko - 1.0.4.

I'll look at again, but are there any additional firefox extensions or plugins 
on the machines where it works?

Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 20 Mar 2012 at 5:37

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

OK! I'll ask the people who have no problem with the stream about additional 
extensions or plugins. By the way, I download and compilied the 1.0.4 version 
of gnome-mplayer. And now the both - gecko and player are with the same version 
but the problem is still present. kdeko...@gmail.com, did you try to open 
http://tv7.bg/liveTV/?

I see something in the code of that site that bothers me... in that it looks 
for a Mac specificially, but never linux. However, I should be emulating the 
Windows plugin good enough for this site. In fact I even added a couple of more 
methods, but still can't quite make it work. The javascript is not issuing any 
errors at this point so not sure what the problem is.

ok, found a bug in the SVN code that was causing a property load error. It was 
actually kinda tricky to find. The fix is in SVN r497. Very simple fix that 
should apply to your code as well. 

When I try this now it tells me that I am not authorized to view the content, 
but that could be due to my geography. So try that and see if it fixes the 
issue.

OK! Sorry, friend but I don't understand what I have to do!?

Original comment by dobsto on 21 Mar 2012 at 8:54

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Well if you don't feel comfortable applying the fix to the code, you can wait 
until the 1.0.6 release. Which due to this bug I now have a good reason to cut 
a release as this fix is a good reason to do that.

I can attach the source code to this issue if you want to try that. Or you can 
check out the code from SVN and then build the code.

I think this will be difficult for me. Unfortunately I will have to wait for 
the 1.0.6 release or I will have to use totem-plugin.

But why with v.0.9.9 of gecko and player the stream works on some system?

Original comment by dobsto on 22 Mar 2012 at 8:08

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

These are the plugins and extensions installed on the system where the stream 
works:

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

In 0.9.9 the attribute "style" was not parsed. Then I found that some sites use 
this for sizing the plugin instead of width and height. So I started parsing 
"style" and that parsing code was the cause of the error.

I'm anticipating that the fix will be available to you in a couple of weeks 
depending on your distribution and ppa's

Looks like you are missing some development packages and may have forgotten to 
run configure. And the patches apply to 1.0.5 and not 0.9.9.2.

Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 23 Mar 2012 at 12:56

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

No, I run ./configure and everythings look good. But "make" gives some error. 
Please tell me how can I checkout r497 or I'll have to checkout 
"gecko-mediaplayer-read-only" and make changes from r497?

Original comment by dobsto on 23 Mar 2012 at 2:56

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

SVN r497 or later should include the fix. You should be able to just pull the 
latest. However, based on the error messages it appears that gecko-mediaplayer 
is not finding the xulrunner, libxul, or firefox libraries to link against. 

Posting the configure output, will allow me to clarify that.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GMLIB_CFLAGS
and GMLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I'm looking for this GMLIB but I cannot find it.

You need my gmtk library.. which you get from here.. 

http://code.google.com/p/gmtk/

So build and install gmtk first, then build and install gecko-mediaplayer.. but 
since you are upgrading both of those you might as well get the latest 
gnome-mplayer.. which you can get from here:

ok, looks like /usr/local/lib is not in your libpath...

perhaps configuring gmtk with --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib will fix this, 
please run make uninstall for gmtk prior to doing this, so you can cleanup the 
previously installed files.

Might try different VOs or upgrade gmtk from 1.0.5 to SVN or the 1.0.6b1 code. 
If you are using X11 as the VO there is a bug that didn't tell mplayer to zoom 
properly. But changing to XV or GL as the VO (Video Ouput) in gnome-mplayer 
Edit->preferences works around that issue.
