Hi, edward I take this bug.
the root cause is simple, we disable several plugins in totem ,they are for WMV,MP4, Since codeina is already in NV, I will enable them again. > [ i'm not on this alias, so please cc me on any replies. ] > > hey all, > > i've filed an rfe for improved totem firefox plugin support. > unfortunately it isn't visible via monaco yet, but when it is, it should > be at the following url: > http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6804284 > > i'm including the content of the rfe here because i think other people > might be interested in it and might also have some valuable potential > feedback on the idea. > > thoughts? > ed > > ---8<--- > so by default we ship: > /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libtotem-basic-plugin.so > > i've gone ahead and purchased the gstreamer fluendo plugins, so > naturally, i'd like to have those codecs accessible via totem in > firefox. but it seems that the firefox plugin design is a little poor > in that the information about what objects a plugin supports is hard > coded into the plugin library. so to allow me to use these codecs with > firefox, it seems like i'd need to have a new firefox plugin. > > now, at first glance, since i got the additional gst plugins from > fluendo it seems like perhaps they should deliver this plugin. but > then, thinking about it a bit we realize that fluendo only delivers gst > plugins, and by having to deliver a totem/firefox plugin, they would > have to do version tracking of two additional (and not directly gst > related) pieces of software, which becomes a royal pain once one os.o > release has ff3.0, and another has ff3.1, etc. each release of their > codecs would have to ship with multiple totem/firefox plugins for every > totem/ff version combination in every os.o distro they want to support. > it seems much easier to just have os.o deliver the plugin. > > so on that note, it would be great if we shipped more ff/totem plugins. > these plugins could be delivered in say /usr/lib/totem/firefox, and we > could provide a new smf upgrade service that detects which gst plugins > are currently installed on the system and automatically links the > correct plugins into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins. > ---8<--- > _______________________________________________ > desktop-discuss mailing list > desktop-discuss at opensolaris.org >
