I think I have found the problem
I had installed vlc and vlc-web.
This seems to cause a conflict. Whether the conflict is with my addon
(which is only supposed to work at youtube) or with mplayer is
unclear. deleting gnash and/or mplayerplug-in did not help.
With vlc gone, all is working again.
Should I have mplayerplug-in and gnash or just one?
Thanks
I'm glad you got it working, but, we need to figure out what went wrong
so we can fix it in the ports tree.
An unknown something in your configuration wanted the "wma9dmod.dll"
library found in the win32-codecs port. With all due respect to the
people who did a ton of hard work on it, the win32-codecs port has
always had a number of untoward caveats and concerns. None the less,
the win32-codecs port was an interesting hack to support proprietary
codecs with proprietary executables from another operating system.
Of course, the best answer is to just tell people with proprietary
codecs to get stuffed, including Adobe Flash/Shockwave (gnash).
As Jake mentioned in the thread, the win32-codecs port is no longer
supported on -current (news to me), so we need to find which port was
trying to use the win32-codecs stuff, and fix it accordingly.
You did try uninstalling gnash and mplayerplug-in, but you did not
uninstall mplayer itself or gecko-mediaplayer (plugin). If you can
replicate the problem with just vlc and vlc-web, then I know where to
look for the problem.
Ok I will try and play around with it and figure out where the problem
is at.
