Is xulrunner 1.9.2 released yet? I'm on Fedora 12 and the latest it is has is 
1.9.1.
Appears xulrunner has changed its headers again. Please open a bug with them, as
headers should not disappear in a point release.

You could try adding the attached jri.h to the build and see if that helps. But 
I
have a feeling that more files are needed.

Hm... May be something wrong in my environment.
I will check some things and report here.
I use icedtea-1.6.1 instead sun jre-1.6. May be something wrong here....
Thanks

Java should not have anything to do with it. It is files within xulrunner

Can you try SVN of gecko-mediaplayer. I think I have fixed it, but don't have
xulrunner 1.9.2 to test with.

Please post the output of ./configure the files it is failing on now are files 
it was
working on before. Also might try changing #include <npapi.h> to #include 
"npapi.h"
in plugin.h and see if that helps any. It should not, but that was something 
that was
changed.

I was looking at your output and where is the "yes" coming from in the path 
settings.

So I'm wondering if something is wrong with your xulrunner.pc file. It might be
possible that your ebuild is breaking something as well. I can't see your 
configure
output in the second log, but in the first log, there is definitely something 
missing
as there is no check for GECKO.

Seems "yes" is default for --with-xulrunner-sdk

Well "yes" is the wrong value for --with-xulrunner-sdk, that argument takes a 
PATH so
it should be something like --with-xulrunner-sdk=/path/to/files. I have 
clarified
this in the configure --help in SVN.

in npruntime.h NPString is defined like this

typedef struct _NPString {
    const NPUTF8 *utf8characters;
    uint32_t utf8length;
} NPString;

Can you please see how NPString is defined in your npruntime.h

[GoogleCodeExporter]

yeah your version has this...

typedef struct _NPString {
    const NPUTF8 *UTF8Characters;
    uint32_t UTF8Length;
} NPString;

So you'll need to change all the instances of "utf8characters" to 
"UTF8Characters" in
the plugin.cpp code

To me this is a serious problem with the new xulrunner. Since the API should 
not be
changing like that.

Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 13 Nov 2009 at 9:27

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Despite compiling after changing to "UTF8Characters", the player no longer 
connects
to any url's properly. For example, in firefox 3.5.5 apple trailers works, but 
once
you change to firefox 3.6(beta5pre) it will say "connecting" forever and never
actually connects.

I think the url is lost somewhere when the api changes were made in firefox 3.6 
i am
not sure?

Original comment by jazzr...@gmail.com on 6 Dec 2009 at 6:50

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think I understand why it's broken in firefox 3.6.  It seems that the 
javascript in
3.6 sends a notification that something has changed with
http://www.apple.com/trailers which causes mediaplayer to think that there is 
data to
be read from that URL, and since this is just html, mplayer freezes.

I've attached log files from 3.6 and 3.5 that show the problem.  Search for "New
Stream Requested"

Here are some log files.

can you do a new release since the changes for xulrunner 1.9.2 are made in 
november too?
