Gecko-mediaplayer plugin

English Multimedia
1

Guys,

I install 11.2 64 bits KDE & GNOME desktops and I was using mplayer-plugin for fire-fox but some WMA sites are not working. I tried to install gecko-mediaplayer instead of the mplayer and it gives me the following error when I start firefox:

alberto@linux-jxdt:~/Desktop> firefox
*** nss-shared-helper: Shared database disabled (set NSS_USE_SHARED_DB to enable).
/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so: undefined symbol: gconf_client_get_default

Any help here?

Just wanted to add the URL for the media I am having issues:

Globovisión Premium

It used to work before with mplayer-plugin … no problems with windows internet explorer …

Thanks,

Alberto

Say to Packman that they need to apply this patch: r330 - gecko-mediaplayer - Project Hosting on Google Code

And use the one Packaged by RedDwarf, I do. Great work @RedDwarf.

You’ll find it mentioned in this guide
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums

I installed the one from Red-Dwarf and it is working with Firefox but no luck with the WMV from that site.

I installed moonlight as well from:
Moonlight Downloads

and it seam to work for some sites but not for this specific site…

Does someone has a new idea or explanation why it is not working anymore with linux?

This is an alive TV channel from my original country and it is kind of important for me to watch it…

Thanks for any help or light you could give me …

Pretty rubbish site that, looks like M$ Virtual Studio Build

To me it shows an audio-only message in english. I have a big problem understanding speaked english, more if you cut it at 4KHz… but I think it says the problem is in the website.
Are you sure it’s working in Windows right now?

If you can’t even listen the error message, look at “Herramientas->Gestionar complementos” (Tools->Manage complements?), probably something else is being used instead of gecko-mediaplayer.

I just checked it with my wife’s pc (vista) and it is working fine.

I’ve been trying to replace her vista with openSUSE but she wants all her stuff working before she moves but she is liking SUSE better than the Vista OS.

I have everything else working in openSUSE and that TV Channel was working before with Mplayer-plugin so they may have added some kind of checking ?

The message says that the URL you are attempting to use to access this media is invalid and to contact the content media provider to obtain a new link …

but it works with MS windows … and it was working with linux until a month ago…

so not sure what they did or what changed and how to fix it in SUSE…

thanks for your help on this one …
