Description Bill C. Riemers 2008-06-04 13:32:43 UTC
Description of problem:

I am attempting to play multimedia files using nspluginwrapper.   When I click
on an AVI file, served with the Mime type video/mpegurl, it correctly opens up
one of my plug-ins (although I can't tell which one) and plays the movie. 

The problem is:
  1. I can't figure out how to tell which plug-in it invoked.
  2. It appears keyboard and mouse events are not passed to the respective plug-in.

Consiquently, I have no way of pausing, fast forwarding, or in any way changing
the video play back.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and configure both nspluginwrapper and MediaWrapper
2. Click on a link in a web page such as:
 <a href="../../Videos/0-9A-Z/0-9/6th Day, The/(2000) The 6th Day.avi"
type="video/mpegurl" vod="">The 6th Day</a>

Actual results:

Video begins playing, but the player does not respond to keyboard events or
mouse clicks.  No controls are shown.

Expected results:

Video begins playing.  Controls are shown.  Responds to mouse clicks and
keyboard events.

Additional info:

I also have the MediaWrapper add-on installed in Firefox.  It looks like
MediaWrapper invokes npviewer.bin.

Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2008-06-04 13:44:25 UTC
You can check it by "ps axf" console command. Please run it when the
firefox/media player instance is running and you'll see what process/application
actually plays the video.

Comment 2 Bill C. Riemers 2008-06-04 14:16:51 UTC
It looks like nspluginwrapper is invoking libvlcplugin.so.

nspluginwrapper/npviewer.bin --plugin /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libvlcplugin.so
--connection /org/wrapper/NSPlugins/libvlcplugin.so/6328-1

Do you think the problems of lack of controls and response to events is a
problem with nspluginwrapper not passing the appropriate events, or vlcplugin
dropping the events on the floor?


Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2009-02-17 16:56:54 UTC
There is nothing to triage here.

Switching to ASSIGNED so that developers have responsibility to do whatever they want to do with it.

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 01:24:05 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 18:22:39 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
