Package: mozilla-mplayer Version: 3.55-1.1 Hello,
I have iceweasel (version 3.0.6-3), mplayer (version 1.0~rc2-17+lenny3.2) and mozilla-mplayer (version 3.55-1) installed on my machine with an up-to-date stable release (lenny 5.0.8), but the mozilla mplayer plug-in doesn't work in iceweasel as expected. When I try to run an audio or video file which is accessible on the web or is embedded into some web page, the file isn't played and the plug-in stops instead. The following happens. The plug-in becomes visible, I can see it's logo with a text 'mplayer plug-in, embedded video player for mozilla' and just below a text describing the current status which changes from 'Getting playlist ...' to 'Buffering ...', then to 'Playing ...' and right after to 'Stopped'. Nothing else happens. I searched the web and also read the homepage of the plugin located at http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net, mainly it's FAQ and Configuration sections, but I wasn't able to find any solution to my problem. Even if I changed the configuration in /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf, I wasn't able to get the plug-in to work. So I tried to run the plug-in in debug mode. Firstly, I changed the debug setting in /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf to debug=1 and then ran iceweasel from the command line with the -g flag. After that, gdb was run and waited for further commands. I gave it a run and later also one continue command, after that iceweasel started and I could have seen the debug output. However, in this case the plug-in worked as it should and no errors occured!!! The same behaviour could have been observed when I changed the debug=1 line in the config file to debug=2 or even debug=0. The only significant thing was that I passed the -g flag to iceweasel and ran it through gdb!!! I have used the 'Plugger Testing Grounds' videos at http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/testing.php to test the plug-in. I also tried to play the videos by downloading them firstly and then invoking mplayer from the command line. In this case, everything worked as it should. So it's probably not an mplayer problem. The contents of my global mplayer configuration file /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf is following: ### mplayer DEBCONF AREA. DO NOT EDIT THIS AREA OR INSERT TEXT BEFORE IT. #video output driver vo=xv,x11 #device for dvd dvd-device=/dev/cdrom #truetype font, using fontconfig fontconfig=1 font='Sans' #if you do not like this default, override it by adding # a ao= line below this debconf area ao=alsa,oss ### END OF DEBCONF AREA. PLACE YOUR EDITS BELOW; THEY WILL BE PRESERVED. ao=esd My user mplayer config file ~/.mplayer/config is empty. The mozilla-mplayer config file has the following contents: vo=xv,x11 ao=esd I hope the information provided is sufficient.
