gecko-mediaplayer interferes with all Mono Moonlight versions, stable or preview #31

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Moonlight: http://go-mono.com/moonlight-preview
2. View a site that uses Silverlight
3. Observe that the gecko-mediaplayer control renders instead of the
Silverlight content
4. Slam head on desk

You are probably having a conflict with the mimetype. gecko-mediaplayer does 
not do
anything with the silverlight specific emulations. You can also open 
gnome-mplayer
and disable the Windows Media Player emulation under the Edit->Preferences 
[Plugin]
and see if that helps.

I've also seen some CTV sites that don't detect moonlight properly. So it could 
be
due to problems with the site.

kdekorte, disabling emulation doesn't help.

I have to disable the entire plugin set in the Firefox addon window in order for
Silverlight to work.

After you disabled the emulation, did you restart firefox? Also what shows up in
"about:plugins" in firefox?

And could you show me either the page that you are having issues with or the 
embed
tag that has this issue? Generally when there is a problem like this is it 
almost
always the mimetype in the embed tag that controls which plugin is loaded.

The plugin register the types of mimetypes they support and then firefox decides
which plugin to start.

Disabling emulation and every single plugin does not help.

Even when about:plugins shows no references to gecko-mediaplayer, the problem 
will
persist on ANY AND ALL SILVERLIGHT SITES until gecko-mediaplayer is completely
removed using my package management.

I really don't see how this is possible if about:plugins shows no reference to
gecko-mediaplayer.

Can you give me an example site to test with.

I just installed moonlight 1.9.5, gecko-mediaplayer 0.9.5 and flash 10. I then 
opened
this site

http://blogs.msdn.com/mikeormond/archive/2007/09/13/silverlight-streaming-test.a
spx

And the sliverlight player loaded correctly...

I then loaded this page

http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/test.html

And gecko-mediaplayer loaded correctly.

I then loaded some youbtube pages and all those worked great too...

So try running firefox from the command line and perhaps some information will 
come
out on the console.

I don't know how much this could help but...

Here's a log.

Hum... are you using a custom gecko-mediaplayer.. as your log is showing

ARG: type = application/x-silverlight

And gecko-mediaplayer does not register that type. Can you post your 
about:plugin output?

According to that pastebin, gecko-mediaplayer should not be loaded when the
application/x-silverlight mimetype is used for a plugin as it does not register
itself for 'application/x-silverlight'. So I guess that until I see the tag the 
loads
the plugin or I can duplicate the issue. It sounds like something is incorrect 
in
your setup.

Also, before you comment, my setup (read as: latest reinstall) is less than a 
week old.

Furthermore, the bug can be observed in 3.0, 3.5, 3.5.1, and the 3.6 mercurial.

I'm thinking more of some firefox addons? GreaseMonkey or something... So far I 
am
still unable to duplicate your issue.

Perhaps you should try disabling all or some of those. 

I have 
Adblock Plus 1.0.2
CustomizeGoogle 0.76
DOM Inspector 2.0.3
Moonlight 1.9.6
Web Developer 1.1.8

Also, I have found that after moonlight loads on my system, it seems to disable 
the
gecko-mediaplayer plugin. So I'm not sure that moonlight plays nicely with 
other plugins.

sounds like your pluginreg.dat is messed up...

Delete it with firefox stopped and restart firefox. It is normally found in 
under
.mozilla, but might be under .firefox and it may be in a subdirectory under it.

That seemed to fix the problem... for now. gecko-mediaplayer and moonlight are 
now
playing nice.

How did that file get so screwed up in the first place?

That file is created when firefox detects new plugins. I've seen it get 
corrupted on
rare occasions, but not in a couple of years.

I have a similar problem, except in this case, it's the reverse problem... 
sometimes
Moonlight will try to load when gecko-mediaplayer (or even mplayerplug-in) 
should be
loading.  Other times, it works fine.

When the crash occurs, this is what I get on the command line:
Moonlight: Plugin AppDomain Creation: OK
PluginXamlLoader::TryLoad: Could not load xaml file: 
/tmp/plugtmp-21/plugin-movie.mpg
(error:  attr=)
URL http://<domain removed>/~acaspi/movie.mpg downloaded successfully.
/home/acaspi/Packages/x86_64-linux/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error:
/home/acaspi/.mozilla/firefox/7y0dXXXX.default/extensions/moonlight@novell.com/p
lugins/moonlight/libmoonxpi.so:
undefined symbol: gdk_event_request_motions

This does appear to be a Moonlight bug, especially since it occurs with either
gecko-mediaplayer or mplayerplug-in... though I'm not sure why the final crash 
is due
to a missing GDK symbol, as I don't believe I'm missing any libraries.

(Yes, everything is installed in custom directories, since this is for testing
purposes... but I don't believe that's the reason for the crash, or if so, it's
because Moonlight doesn't seem to play well in a nonstandard location!)

But... I figured I'd paste the output here, in case this might shed some light 
on the
problem and perhaps someone can think of a solution.  My workaround is just to
disable Moonlight, since I rarely use it, but that's not the best option.

Moonlight plugin 2.0 interferes with gecko-mediaplayer plugin version 0.9.8.
I've recently installed moonlight plugin for firefox 3.5 and was surprised when 
I
couldn't watch trailers on www.apple.com/trailers anymore.I opened 
about:plugins and
couldn't see quicktime plugin in the list.
After i disabled moonlight plugin I had to manually delete
.mozilla/firefox/ai2ezxo8.default/pluginreg.dat file which got corrupted by 
moonlight.
I've repeated the test several times with same results.
I've disabled moonlight plugin until Microsoft (Novel) fix this.

work well.
