Trouble with Plugger

Recommended Posts

I installed "plugger" in Opera 8.02. I put it in /usr/local. Opera sees it fine. It's works on all the test sites, plugger, linspire, apple trailers. But not anywhere on the "internets". What's with that? I have Mozilla 1.7.8 and FF installed also and they use mplayerplug-in. They work fine. On one site I get the big sideways wedge, 4 uprights, and a square. I guess that's some kind of gui? Anyway I sure would would like to get it to work. Thanks.

Try installing extra codecs (they are at plfs). Else run opera in debug mode from a console and post the errors.

opera -debugplugin

opera: [plugin probing] /usr/lib/opera/plugins/libnpp.so

opera: [plugin probing] /usr/lib/opera/plugins/mozplugger.so

opera: [plugin probing] /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/nphelix.so

opera: [plugin probing] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so

opera: [plugin banned ] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnullplugin.so

opera: [plugin probing] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mozplugger.so

opera: [plugin probing] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

opera: [plugin failed ] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so, libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I failed to mention that I switched to Mozplugger. I works some better but not much. Still work good on afore mentioned test sites.

Here's a more complete one:

opera -debugplugin

Does is say it can't find libxpcom.so?

[rolf@localhost ~]$ urpmf libxpcom.so
nvu:/usr/lib/nvu-0.81/libxpcom.so
mozilla-firefox:/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.0.2/libxpcom.so
mozilla-thunderbird:/usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.2/libxpcom.so
mozilla:/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.6/libxpcom.so
mozilla:/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.6/libxpcom.so
mozilla-firefox:/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.0.2/libxpcom.so
[rolf@localhost ~]$ urpmf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so
mplayerplugin:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so
mplayerplugin:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so

 

How about if you link one of the libxpcom.so files into your opera plugin path?

I don't know what you mean by this. urpmf shows what package(s) contain a given file. They don't have to be installed, just in one of the urpmi media.

 

I was saying the error message seemed to be saying it couldn't find this file. If so, maybe that is because it isn't in the path Opera searches for plugins, implied by other lines in the console output you posted. So, I suggested to make a link in the path Opera searches to this file.

You need to link libxpcom.so to /usr/lib. ( ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.0.2/libxpcom.so /usr/lib (as root))

That's about what I was thinking, also, but I would link to what Opera says are its search paths, such as /usr/lib/opera/plugins

 

opera: [plugin path   ] #001: /usr/lib/opera/plugins
opera: [plugin path   ] #002: /usr/lib/netscape/plugins
opera: [plugin path   ] #003: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

So, I would do

 

# ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.0.2/libxpcom.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins

for example.
