If you can't compile it, you will need to rebuild nsIScriptableMplayerPlugin.h with the idl file and xpidl (which you can build from the sources of the latest mozilla trunk. Also as i said before - you will need to reorganise the includes so that the compiler can find them.

Otherwise it should compile and run fine.

If you want to build a deb, there's a debian directory in the archive, cd to it and run Of course, that's after you copy the built plugins in the structure located in the debian/mplayerplug-in dir.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

This is certainly exciting. Thanks bundyo!

Can we make mplayer play back .flv flash video from youtube/google (from browser)?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Maybe... not sure how different sites handle Flash video playback and if that can be unified.

EDIT: Some other clarification - the rewinding problem was because of QT decoding errors - maybe Apple changed the codec soon, that the Maemo mplayer doesn't support very well. The plugin was rewinding one second for each error, which doesn't fix it and happens again after that.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Wmv playback seems slower than in the built in Mediaplayer, but divx looks great. (Does Nokia use ffmpeg or some proprietary libs for wmv?)
Quirks:
-When I disable the mplayer-wmp, microb won't open the other formats (qt, mpg or divx) in mplayerplug-in and insists on asking what to do with wmv...
-Random microb crashes (could be related to messing with plugins, plugin.reg? or having debug on in config...)
Great work though!

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

How did you guys get libpxm4? When i try to install the deb it says it needs the lib?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Native wmv9 support was introduced in mplayer lately (i think in the last year), and it works quirky even on a PC, in Maemo mplayer is worse. Nokia is using proprietary and licensed for particular devices codec in its Maemo media player, that's why they are faster.

It crashes from time to time for me too, but not too often. In fact mplayer crashes when summoned and since it is slave, brings down the browser as well.
I'll look up the other issue.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

It is in the main repo:
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/chi...e/libx/libxpm/

apt-get install libxpm4 should do it.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Thanks. I tried apt-get install libxpm4 but it said package not found. Coming to the link you gave. ... there are many libxpm4 packages which specific one should i download?

thanks

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

The armel one :)
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/chi...sso1_armel.deb

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

unable to install libxpm4. Incompatible application package!!

Hope im not bothering you much!

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

What OS are you under?

EDIT: That "incompatible package" message - is it in App Manager?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

iM using n800, os2008 51_3 and yeah it comes in app manager.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Then try with dpkg -i libxpm4... in XTerm.

Or maybe with redpill mode enabled.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

yeah changed to red pill and did an install from file. thanks

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50: testers needed.
 

Thanks, you've made my weekend :) I'll let you know about the progress.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Just to update that with the latest mplayer (26) QT movies play much better...

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

That's amazing! Now most small-sized trailers on Apple's site are played smoothly, medium-sized are also watchable. Thanks!
Still it hangs sometimes, for ex. here. It seems crashes happen when there are quicktime-plugin specific buttons embedded on the page.
Is there a way to make widescreen videos maintain aspect ratio when played in window mode?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Is there an easy way to install this for total linux ignorants like me ?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Save the deb file in the first post.

Go to application manager ---> Menu ---> Application catalog.

Select new -->

In the web address field delete the http:// and type matrix.

press cancel.

It asks which pill red or blue. Select red.

Then menu -->Application--->Install from file--> Select the saved deb.

That should work

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Then do the same with the matrix and select the blue pill :) Or you can easily break your os...

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Thank you for this it's great. I'm using a nokia N810 and the only issue I have run into is when try to play a Windows meida stream. It seems to start playing then says 'Stopped'.
This the link I tryed http://www.newstalk1130.com/cc-commo...new/index.html
Are there any conf. settings you can recommend? thanks again.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Sorry, i'm outside US and can't access this content.

Mplayer doesn't have good native support for WMV9 and i think none for encrypted, so i guess that's the problem. I can try to start the internal media player if such content is detected.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Thanks for taking a look att this. I did find some sites with similar feeds where the plug-in works just fine. I still think is great. Thanks again.

Just a quick not that the feed that didn't work was for HD digital Radio Stream. thx

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

I see, then maybe mplayer doesn't support the codec.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Is anyone getting the streams at bloomberg.com to work or would they be encripted

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Wow - I don't know how I could miss this!
Awesome.

Now the browser finally also knows how to treat audio/mpeg the proper way - and not opening it in the media player ;)

Thanks once more, Bundyo.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

I followed the instructions earlier in the thread by installing the libxpm and the mplayer plugin using red pill. I now have the different components installed in the browser and can select them, but I still can't get the plugin to work.

When I go to apple.com/trailers and click on a movie, I get a white box with the mplayer logo saying "Getting playlist" . This hangs and nothing happens.

If I double click, bring up the mplayer plugin menu, then select Play, in the white box it briefly says playing ----.mov, but then it says "Stopped".

It seems like people are able to watch quicktime movies using this plugin, did I miss a step? Thanks

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

I'm guessing I missed something. When I watch a trailer at apple, 1/3 of the way through the stream, it stops, if I try to click play or rewind to try to get the stream back, it jacks up my IT. By that I mean, the portion that was playing the movie stays in the middle of my screen, becoming a magnifying glass of sorts. The only way, that I've figured to get rid of that is to power down the IT. Is it just me?

Also, is there a version of the plug-in that supports Mplayer rc1 .24? Some YouTube videos using Mplayer .25+ skip. Obviously, like anyone else, i'd like to have all functionality instead of some, but I can live with it.

Plus, using the plug-in i'm still not able to listen to my comcast VM (wav files). It just sits there "generating playlist". This however, drives me nuts. Sure there's other ways to retrieve the message, but getting it from my IT would be ideal.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Geuss i´m a real newbie, but can someone explain this in easy way. I am trying to get mlb.com audio( wich i am subscribed to), and need this (ibpxm4 library) for the mplayer plugin to work. I have been searching ,but i don´t really understand how to get the mplayer plugin and libpxm4 library both installed and working, to get the audio stream working :confused:
Any step by step help would be highly appreciated.
Or have i missed something ?

Thnx once again

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Search for redpill mode, this question has been answered too many times.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

I don't have that lib installed on my tablet, but I stream the gameday audio fine with this plugin. Well almost fine, it kills the battery, but that's to be expected. I did take a while to get it to actually work, so I supose I could have added something else in the meantime to make it work. What I ended up doing was disabling the built in media component, and then enabling all of the mplayer ones. If it isn't working, try closing the browser (maybe restarting the tablet) and then opening the browser back up and look at the component list. I had a couple of instances where they were no longer checked (at the time I guessed that they crashed and were disabled) but after re-enabling them I've had minimal issues.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

@hvacengi
Thanks to your instuctions i got mlb gameday audio working, till yesterday.
Now the mplayer plugin is hanging at "getting playlist"and nothing happens after that. Tried deinstalling/reinstalling but nothing helps.
Are you still getting gameday audio ?

Thnx in advance

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Sorry, didn't see your question until today. I actually don't have it working right now, but I think it's a separate issue. I upgraded the browser to the SVN build from another thread, and I noticed last week that I wasn't getting games any more. I plan on flashing sometime this week and setting up a dual boot, so I'll look at it then and report back to you.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

@hvacengi
Thnx once again. I reflashed 2008OS but it still doesnt work :(
Hopefully you have more success.

Please let me know one way or the other.

:)

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Any chance of putting this into maemo-extras repo?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Is mlb= major league baseball? If so, you can watch the video and hear the audio here, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=19044, just scroll down to alphabetically to find mlb.

enjoy,

bun

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

It looks like your file only includes one station for MLB, so there would be no guarantee that our teams would be available. Also, and to many this is an unimportant detail, my understanding of MLB's licensing is that mlb.com is the one and only authorized internet broadcaster. And they almost certainly wouldn't authorize another site that doesn't authenticate users and required a subscription. Now, like I said, you (and others) might not care if it is or isn’t authorized, and this is just by understanding and not a thoroughly researched fact. But it should be noted that if MLB’s gameday audio still works, it is legal and costs only $15 for the entire season.

I'll report on what I find. In this thread or the other mlb thread I mentioned that it took a couple of weeks to get it to work, so maybe it was just a fluke regresion in their web page. I haven't studied it much on my PC to see if the media is served with flash or with silverlight, which also might contribute to the problem.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

OK, after some research, it looks like we aren't the only linux users experiencing this issue. The trend I've seen reported mirrors my own: didn't work for spring training, then it started working, now it stoped. From what I've read, when it worked they stoped using silverlight to serve the media stream, and now they've started it back up. So I ported a version of mlbviewer instead. You can find the details in this thread.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

@hvacengi
Thnx for the info that i´m not the only user not being able to listen to gameday audio anymore. Thought it was only me :)
I´ll need some time trying to work through your mlbviewer instuctions.
Basically i´m a windows user ;) but i´ll give it my best when i have some time the next few days. Really wanting mlb audio streaming working again :D
Anyway, thnx again for your help

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

No worries, I'm a native windows user myself, and when I had the webpage working was just happy to not have to make my own solution. I don't know if you're following the other thread much, but I've made a bunch of changes that should make mlbviewer easier to get started. And I'm revising the configuration dialog still to make it more intuitive. Let me know if you need any help getting started.
