Play/Pause doesn’t work under Safari 4

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
While playing any netflix video from within Front Row, pushing the Play/Pause 
button on the 
Apple Remote does nothing.

What is the expected output or result?
To pause/play the video

What do you see instead?
Nothing happens 

Please provide any additional information below, including any relevant
URLs.

Apparently most people can pause the videos with the apple remote.  It does 
nothing for me, 
only the volume works.  This happens with the current build (0.6.7). I tried 
installing version 
0.6.5 and it didn't work with that one either.  I am using an aluminum iMac 
(not the most recent 
ones, the release before), on OS 10.5.6.

So I uninstalled Safari 4 and reverted back to Safari 3, and the play/pause 
buttons worked correctly.  I then re-
installed Safari 4 and they didn't work again.  So it is something with Safari 
4 for me.  Guess it's back to Safari 3 
for now.  As a note, I have Cooliris and Glims installed that are Safari 
plugins.  But they are there for Safari 3 and 
4, so they probably aren't the problem.

Just letting you know that installing OS 10.5.7 installs a new version of 
Safari: 3.2.3, and play/pause does not 
work with that build of Safari for.  I also installed the updated version of 
Safari 4 beta and no luck there.  So at 
least for me, play/pause doesn't work at all now unless I were to revert back 
to the previous version of Safari 3.

Well, that's not good news but thanks for reporting it.
Just to be sure I've got all the right info:
did you actually try reverting to the old version of Safari?
which video players did you try this with?

No, I didn't revert back to the old version of Safari.  I just tried, and 
apparently I can't.  I guess that the older version of 
Safari was not made compatible with 10.5.7

To sum it up, play/pause worked with OS 10.5.6 and Safari 3.2.1, but not with 
Safari 4 beta.

Play/pause does not work on OS 10.5.7 and Safari 3.2.3. It also does not work 
with Safari 4.

This is all from Netflix.  It's the only thing I use understudy for.

(I did just try out YouTube with 10.5.7 and Safari 4, and play/pause does work 
and so does forward/rewind)

It worked for me with 10.5.7 and the latest version of Safari 3. However, It 
stop
working after upgrading to Safari 4 final. I use it for netflix only.

It appears this may also affect hulu.

The issue is with the plugin controller calling sendEvent. In Safari 4 this 
changed to sendEvent:isDrawRect. It 
needs to be changed to support both... something like:

- (void)sendPluginKeyCode:(int)keyCode
             withCharCode:(int)charCode
             andModifiers:(int)modifiers
{
  if( ![self plugin] )return;
  EventRecord event;
  event.what = keyDown;
  event.message = (keyCode << 8) + charCode;
  event.modifiers = modifiers;
  if( [pluginView_ respondsToSelector:@selector(sendEvent:)] ){
    [(id)pluginView_ sendEvent:(NSEvent *)&event];
  }else if( [pluginView_ respondsToSelector:@selector(sendEvent:isDrawRect:)] ){
    [(id)pluginView_ sendEvent:(NSEvent *)&event isDrawRect:NO];
  }
  event.what = keyUp;
  if( [pluginView_ respondsToSelector:@selector(sendEvent:)] ){
    [(id)pluginView_ sendEvent:(NSEvent *)&event];
  }else if( [pluginView_ respondsToSelector:@selector(sendEvent:isDrawRect:)] ){
    [(id)pluginView_ sendEvent:(NSEvent *)&event isDrawRect:NO];
  }
}

Likewise, the mouse clicks would break:

- (void)sendPluginMouseClickAtPoint:(NSPoint)point
{
  EventRecord record;
  NSPoint orig = [pluginView_ frame].origin;
  record.modifiers = btnState;
  record.message = 0;
  record.what = mouseDown;
  record.when = TickCount();
  record.where.h = orig.x + point.x;
  record.where.v = orig.y + point.y;

  if( [pluginView_ respondsToSelector:@selector(sendEvent:)] ){
    [(id)pluginView_ sendEvent:(NSEvent *)&record];
  }else if( [pluginView_ respondsToSelector:@selector(sendEvent:isDrawRect:)] ){
    [(id)pluginView_ sendEvent:(NSEvent *)&record isDrawRect:NO];
  }
  record.what = mouseUp;
  record.when = TickCount();
  if( [pluginView_ respondsToSelector:@selector(sendEvent:)] ){
    [(id)pluginView_ sendEvent:(NSEvent *)&record];
  }else if( [pluginView_ respondsToSelector:@selector(sendEvent:isDrawRect:)] ){
    [(id)pluginView_ sendEvent:(NSEvent *)&record isDrawRect:NO];
  }
}

this should be fixed in version 0.8

• Changed state: Fixed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It is almost fixed in version 0.8. Now, it requires two clicks to pause. First 
one bring up control panel and second 
click really pause the movie. 

OS X 10.6.2 & Safari 4.0.4
