Package: gecko-mediaplayer
Version: 1.0.8-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I wanted to check that bug #689862 is still fixed in
gnome-mplayer/1.0.8-1 + gecko-mediaplayer/1.0.8-1
To my great surprise, the following happened:
0) I started iceweasel
1) I opened a video in a new tab, for instance:
http://content.funny-base.com/videos2/trunkmonkey01.wmv
2) iceweasel behaves exactly as if none of the installed plugins were
able to deal with this file type: it popped up a dialog window,
offering me to download the video or to open it with GNOME MPlayer
3) I chose to open the video with GNOME MPlayer and a standalone
instance of gnome-mplayer appeared, playing the video correctly
4) I then tried the web page that embeds the same video:
http://www.funny-base.com/videos/792-trunkmonkey01.html
5) the NoScript extension blocked the JavaScript code;
I right-clicked on the page and selected "Temporarily allow
funny-base.com" from the NoScript submenu
6) an iceweasel warning appeared inside a yellow bar at the top of
the web page, claiming that "Additional plugins are required to
display all the media on this page"; the area that should embed
the video showed a similar warning ("A plugin is needed to display
this content")
7) I don't want to install plugins for my regular user, I strongly
prefer to install Debian packages (as root), so that plugins and
extensions are installed system-wide (for all the users); but,
still, I wanted to see what would have have been installed: I tried
to click on the "Install plugin" link
8) a dialog window appeared running the Plugin Finder Service and
saying that "No suitable plugins were found", "Unknown Plugin
(video/x-ms-wmv)"...
N.B.: with other videos, the MIME type claimed to be associated
to an unknown plugin may be different (for instance
video/x-msvideo)
Why does gecko-mediaplayer claim that additional plugins are needed
to play the above-mentioned videos, while gnome-mplayer is able to
play them, when running in a standalone window?
Is this a bug or did I misunderstand something?
The same web pages used to work correctly with gnome-mplayer/1.0.7-2
+ gecko-mediaplayer/1.0.6-1, hence this looks like a regression...
Please fix this issue and/or forward my report upstream.
Thanks for your time!
