Yo so there is a problem in the version in the repo so I posted it on the message board on google code for that project and the author told me to get the version from SVN. So I did that but it's not compiling. He's not sure how to fix it and says he's never seen this message before. I'm guessing this is a Debian prob; I'm on Debian Sid.

Note: I compiled "gnome mediaplayer" from the SVN fine that is needed by this plugin. I've also does "apt-get build-dep" for both gnome mplayer and gecko plugin.
Does gecko-mediaplayer uses gstreamer codecs such as gstreamer0.10-base-plugins gstreamer0.10-good-plugins gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg or is it only totem-plugin that does? I it necessary to have gstreamer codecs installed if you only want to use gecko-mediaplayer?
First the issue is that when streaming long videos the playback would suddenly stop and I would need to restart playback manually and drag the progress bar to the correct position to resume playback. I think this is because buffering is not keeping up.
I would like to find a way to configure gnome-mplayer so that playback would just pause when buffer is running low and resumes as it grows, is that possible?
In order to do this I have been playing with the cache setting in gnome-mplayer.
Here are a few questions and observations.
1) In gnome-mplayer there are two cache settings, one go under the Preference > Mplayer tab, the other under Preference > Plugins. What is the difference?
2) I notice that if I set the plugin cache to be minimum then playback will not start until the 20% mark is reached, iit will take longer to start and the playback will last longer before buffer runs out. On the other hand if plugin cache is set to some large value then playback will start almost instantly (~ 1%) but also stops very quickly.
The question is 20% of what? I thought it means 20% of cache size so it should take longer to fill if the cache is set bigger, this seems to be the other way around.
3) With audio stream (say radio) it seems to be the opposite, if plugin cache is small then playback starts immediately, if it is big then it takes longer.
I would like to make sense of this and understand the logic behind it
P.S. Gnome-mplayer in Natty (as oppose to earlier versions) actually has too cache size options under Preference > Plugins but they don't seem to behave independently, for example, I set video cache to be large and audio cache to be small then according to 3) above (and the small audio cache) audio playback should start instantly but instead it takes a while so the size of the video cache has an effect even without video streaming.
I am trying to replace Adobe Flash player with Gnash in Firefox, but Firefox is not recognizing Gnash as a plugin after I installed the Ubuntu package called browser-plugin-gnash. how to use Gnash as a plugin for Firefox? I am using Firefox 4.0.1 on Ubuntu 11.04 on a 32-bit machine.
I need some plugin for Gedit (or maybe other HTML-editor) which will make tags of words, like: I type "div", hit some hotkeys or anything else with keyboard and get "<div></div>". The same with all the words I type in. Do you guys know which piece of software can do such things?
Last night I was updating my system and I ran into some dependency errors. It seems like gecko-libs is having problems. here are my yum update results.

I am using various browsers on opensuse 11.0 ==>Opera ==>Firefox ==>Seamonkey ==>Konqueror
I find that the gecko based brwosers firefox and seamonkey are not working, page loading is extremely slow/not working at all sometimes. On the other hand Opera and Konqueror are working fine. The gecko browsers are loading pages well only when I right click on web pages and use "open with browser menu" from either konqueror or opera.
I did something unknown and now I have no Green Gecko button on my bottom tool bar. I cannot pull up the program menus and I can't add it as a widget. I have tried rebooting, no luck. How do I replace the Green Gecko Widget?
I really want to make the switch from Firefox to Opera as it is so much faster and more stable. But am having real trouble getting mplayer to work. I was wondering if anyone who has successfully managed to get mplayer plugin working in the Opera web browser. Iv been trying for a couple of days now and its getting repetitive. Iv tried following the instructions here: [URL] I think im having trouble with Gecko SDK, havnt been able to find a package thats ppc compatible (am running Karmic on an iBook G4). Though i found an RPM package that was and converted it with Alien, not sure if it actually worked though.
I have XULrunner 1.9.1 and mplayer installed. Im falling down on this step of the above linked tutorial: "Type ./configure --enable-x [--with-gecko-sdk={path}] where {path} is the path to the Gecko SDK" But have tried just running "./configure" and "make" from within the directory, without, of course, the desired effect. Also im not sure when it says "Locate the files mplayerplug-in*.{so,xpt}" what or where "mplayerplug-in*.{so,xpt}" is supposed to be.
ubuntu lucid, firefox 3.6... but it seems the firefox 3.6 is not a complete 3.6 as its gecko is 3.0...; so whenever i want to install a update that is for ff >= 3.5, i always get, that this addon is not available for ff 3.0... my question:
1. is it normal that the ff 3.6 is running on gecko 3.0 on ubuntu? cuz in windows the ff 3.6 also has the 3.6 gecko
I was wondering if there's another way than gecko-mediaplayer to play divx movies on the web. In chromium gecko sometimes freezes,usually when only 10 minutes are left from the movie and that's just freaking annoying, and you can't fast forward or backward also. Though it has some good things too I would like to know if there's an alternative for it in chromium, something like using vlc as in firefox.
These kernel sources are usually the sources from debian, with a couple of more patches that I add. It appears that for nvidia-driver package versions higher than 352.79-1, the kernel headers/sources need to be prepared with 'make prepare' and 'make prepare scripts'. It's that simple. I concluded this after the nvidia dkms build failed on my custom kernel, but then succeeded after I pointed it to the full sources, but only after running 'make prepare' and 'make prepare scripts' on them. The problem is that this make-kpkg scheme doesn't appear to do this, or if it does, it doesn't properly include in the headers everything that it should.
I',m having trouble running the zotero openoffice integration plugin in F13 under the openjdk plugin.It's known top be not working as per The problem lies in some permissions as reported here -fedora-linux/However i want to know if there's any progress on it, since i dont have privilege to install it in my lab computer. Also i found this old bug reportwhich seems to have something done.If anypone has any idea please post, else i think i need to file a new bug report.EDIT: I'd be glad even if someone can guide me to write local policy (.java.policy) to enable the plugin
I am using openSUSE 11.0. This OS installation gives firefox 3.0.5 Beta. I had installed new version of firefox at /usr/local/bin/firefox. I had placed link of this firefox at /usr/bin using this command ->
Code:
linux-snvz:/usr/bin # ln -s /usr/local/bin/firefox/firefox firefox My older firefox contains the flush plugin. So i can easily played ..... video's in my browser. But now my new browser saying that it doesn't have flash plugin. I was tried to install flash plugin once again.
[Code]...
Even after installation also my browser is again without flash plugin.
i have this-for me huge problem- xfce4-xkb-plugin won�t save my keyboard setup and it won�t show after startup in xfce4 panel (xubuntu 9.10): I did this:
1) i added in /etc/default/console-setup needed keyboard layouts (de,hr,rs)-because i know that after restart xfce4-xkb-plugin will not memorize my layouts.
While using Rhythmbox this morning, I was greeted by a blunt and undiscriptive error message:
Code:
Plugin Error:Unable to activate plugin Cover Art.Going to the plugin page, I was supprised to find that most of the installed plugins would not load. Without any info being offered in the player, I looked on line. Many people had problems with other plugins, and most of the time it was a problem with an uninstalled python package. But I checked on this site and I found that I had all of these packages installed. (Well, the python ones at least, to check all of them would take forever.)

After finding no help there, I ran rhythmbox -d to debug:

So I have followed every single guide there is on how to run a applet with the java plugin on debian 64. And they all fail. How I could see those applets and java apps with my firefox on debian squeeze amd64.
I dislike Iceweasel as it has older versions, so I installed Firefox 4.0.1 on my new install of Debian Sid. Downloaded the tar.bz2 package, unpacked it in opt, linked /usr/bin/firefox to /opt/firefox/firefox, figured out why it wasn't running (it needed ia32-libs-gtk), got it to run, and now it doesn't see the flash plugin. My usual technique was to put firefox in opt, close it, then aptitude-install flashplugin-nonfree, which pulled the plugin and made it work with both Iceweasel and Firefox. But right now, only Iceweasel has the flash plugin installed.
I found libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/; usually I'd try copying it in /opt/firefox/plugins, or ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins, but neither of these directories exist. In fact, I can't seem to find a dedicated plugin directory anywhere firefox-related. What do I do?
I have a file that will only work if you view it online. It will not work if i download it and then view it. I have no idea why. Right now I have to use Adobe Reader. Is there any alternative?
Recently I installed DEBIAN 6.0 amd64. Since then I have been unable to do netbanking (at least with linux) due to the missing 64bit java applet plugin, which does the authentication. I cannot get the 32bit plugin working with my browsers (epiphany, iceweasel).
Mozilla.org remmonds using a 32bit browser.
I then installed FIREFOX (32bit), however, it refuses to run : "unable to locate libgtk-x11..." to make it short: the library actually exists on my system (I located it), something else must be wrong.
My questions: will I be better off reinstalling the 32bit version of DEBIAN ? (or what about the possibility of a 64bit java applet plugin being released in near future- will this be wishful thinking or a realistic hope?) as a matter of fact, I have used the java applet since REDHAT version 5 or 6, a lot of years ago, so this plugin-trouble really takes me by surprise.
I have the following packages of openjdk and icedtea installed. i openjdk-6-jre - OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT i openjdk-6-jre-headless - OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT (headless) i openjdk-6-jre-lib - OpenJDK Java runtime (architecture independent libraries) i icedtea-6-jre-cacao - Alternative JVM for OpenJDK, using Cacao i A icedtea-6-jre-jamvm - Alternative JVM for OpenJDK, using JamVM
Now I am not a developer or anything just a user. My use-case are two :- a. Running java programs on the desktop b. Running java in the web-browser.
I *think* both of them get installed by default. Openjdk via the default-jre virtual package while icedtea due to some of the openjdk headless packages. ~$ aptitude why openjdk-6-jre i default-jre Depends openjdk-6-jre (>= 6b23~pre8-2~) ~$ aptitude why icedtea-6-jre-jamvm i openjdk-6-jre-headless Recommends icedtea-6-jre-jamvm (= 6b23~pre8-2) ~$ aptitude why openjdk-6-jre-headless i openjdk-6-jre-lib Depends openjdk-6-jre-headless (>= 6b17) $ aptitude why openjdk-6-jre-lib i openjdk-6-jre-headless Depends openjdk-6-jre-lib (>= 6b23~pre8-2)
Notice the circular dependency at the end. From what I read the headless packages are basically for those systems where a server is running which does not have have a monitor, in which case I wonder why its installed in my system? My actual issue is of having the java for iceweasel. I did search for having java plugins and did not find anything except for icedtea-plugin to run java on my browser.
Trying to install it through gave conflicts :- $ sudo aptitude install icedtea-plugin [sudo] password for shirish:
The following NEW packages will be installed: icedtea-netx{a} icedtea-plugin xulrunner-1.9.1{ab} 0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. Need to get 8,642 kB/9,103 kB of archives. After unpacking 26.5 MB will be used.

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies. Abort.
I did see the other solutions but most of them recommend downgrading both the openjdk and icedtea packages to the ones in testing rather than in unstable.
I am trying to backup some commercial DVD movies which I own. I just want to take them with me abroad without filling up my luggage with DVD cases. So there are no copyright issues here and I will do it anyway, the only point is that if I can convert them to .avi I can save 4 or 5 movies on a blank DVD whereas if I have to copy the .iso images I can only save one DVD per blank DVD. So it's a bit of a waste.
dvdrip doesn't work on this one, so I tried via vlc. It was still running when I went to bed and this morning I had to reboot, I didn't think about it so I didn't check to see whether it had finished or not before rebooting. I decided to check the output file before writing it to a DVD and clicked on it. Totem told me it didn't have the required plugin and asked me whether I wanted to install it. I said yes and was asked for root password. It offered one choice:
GStreamer fluendo MPEG2 demuxing plugin Fluendo codecs to decode mpeg streams I clicked on "install". It started to do something - the mouse cursor turns into a little spinning wheel when I hover over it - and it stayed like that. It's been like that for the last 3 quarters of an hour.
Here's a plugin that lets VLC from wheezy-backports play h.265 content. I packaged it for the MEPIS 12 repo, but it should work on wheezy. [URL] ....
Or create your own packages against Debian's stock VLC 2.0.3, that might work.
You need to install the libde265 package first, then the plugin package.
You can use the static ffmpeg binaries from ffmpeg.org to encode to that h.265 (hevc) codec, but it will take quite a while.
Code: Select all./ffmpeg -i [inputfile] -vcodec hevc [outputfile] Try mp4 or mkv for the output file extension.
The good news is that it will create video of the same quality that is half the size of a comparable h.264 file. This is handy for putting movies on space-limited storage, such as on a phone or tablet. I do know that MX Player on Android can play h.265 video.
I have downloaded the beta for Flash 10 for Linux. I unarchived the tarball and put it in my home directory. Where should I put the plugin file in order for my browsers to be able to use it?
