Package: mozilla-plugin-vlc Version: 1.1.2-1 Severity: important Tags: patch User: debian-...@lists.debian.org UserTags: debian-edu
When visiting <URL: http://forskningsnett.uninett.no/tv/kanaler.html?channelgroup=Forskning&channel=ResearchChannel+HD >, my iceweasel program report that the required plugin for the mime type application/x-vlc-plugin is missing, and try to locate a useful plugin is found in the Debian archive. It fail to find any, because the vlc plugin is missing the Npp-* entries needed in the Packages file for iceweasel to find it. Please add the required control file entries for this to work out of the box. Please also include it in Squeeze, to ensure the vlc show up as an alternative when iceweasel is looking for a multimedia plugin. Setting severity to important, as the lack of these headers greatly affect the user experience of the Debian desktop. It would make Debian Edu more useful as the plugins needed by schools would be easy to find for the system administrator with this in place. More information about the feature can be found in <URL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Plugins > The patch to do this can be found in the Ubuntu package.
