We need to see if we can possibly find a way to get the N9 media player, to identify a video play request when using the iOS UA string.

The iOS string is quite interesting but if videos don't work anymore, it's not really an improvement.

Thanks for your works guys, I hope you can find this ! :-)

I saw a how-to in the sticky that sounded like we could push MIME file types to the browser. Someone with more knowledge of this than me could probably say whether or not this could be used to pass the BBC iPlayer play click to the N9 media player. My feeling is that it is possible. I'll poke around when I have some free time but I've never done anything like this before.

^ Yep it's in the sticky, & the Google doc that's linked-to from the 1st post in the sticky.
The sticky is quite out-of-date now compared to the Google doc.
We may eventually migrate everything in the Google doc to the sticky.
I just wish it was a bit simpler... Anyway this is getting off-topic...
If anyone wants to comment more about the sticky/Google doc, please do so in either.

After examaning the iPlayer with Chrome dev with a iOS5 UA and a UK proxy, I found this:
Code:
<video id="html5-media-player" preload="none" poster="http://node1.bbcimg.co.uk/iplayer/images/episode/b0192pyj_314_176.jpg" height="288" width="512"> <source src="https://securegate.iplayer.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/redir/vpid/b0192pxf/media/iplayer_streaming_http_mp4/proto/https" type="video/mp4"> </video>
Which says to me that it's just a mp4 video stream. So try this from root terminal:
Code:
echo "video/mp4=videosuiteinterface.desktop" >> /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
And then attempting to play something on the bbc iplayer. I'm messing with it in the US through a proxy, but it's slow and I think the video itself is https, which my proxy doesn't support. Let me know.

If you look in the mimeinfo.cache file, you will see that there is already a video link in there that will open ALL video files with videosuiteinterface.desktop

Code:
video/*=videosuiteinterface.desktop

This means the problem lies in the browser itself, it isn't relaying the link properly to the N9, meaning that the the video file isn't detected and the video player doesn't open.

Yeah hmmmmm I saw that too. Not sure what to try now, sorry.

I poked around google music some more with that DOM security error. Turns out that this is probably the reason: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...m-exception-18 which means that unless we can run in unsecure mode, I don't think we can do anything to make it work.

Actually I think it has more to do with these two

Code:
x-maemo-highlight/rtsp-url=videosuiteinterface.desktop
x-maemo-urischeme/rtsp=videosuiteinterface.desktop
