[SOLVED] - Windows Media Player Plugin & SeaMonkey

[ElTxolo]

Hi!

I have been using Windows Media Player Plugin 1.0.0.8 with SeaMonkey versions (from 2.1 to 2.9.1) and it worked perfectly. However, I tested with SeaMonkey 2.10.1, 2.11 Beta 2 and 2.12a2 and I am afraid I have found some troubles such as: audio ok but no image, no control panel shows, black image and sound ...

It was also tested with Firefox Release, Beta and Aurora versions and unfortunately I exactly found the same behavior.
BTW, using Firefox 10.0.5 ESR, Opera 12, K-Meleon 1.6, or Internet Exploder 8 (POS), and it works just fine.

Has anybody experienced similar troubles? Any options/ideas to fix it?

P.S: I already tried by using a clean Profile and safe mode with no result



Cheers!

wmv_test (test.wmv) plays fine, audio & video.

S211.mp4 plays fine, audio & video, though your capture of test.wmv did not capture the video portion of the test.wmv video.
(If you play S211.mp4 directly, in your media player, it still will not display the test.wmv video portion.)

(I don't typically run into WMV any more.)

Now here, http://v6.tinypic.com/player.swf?file=iz93sh&s=6, I have captured the video, but not the audio, & that is something with the capture part on my end.

WAG, in one of your Profiles, set gfx.direct2d.disabled;true & test.
(Don't think a restart is necessary, but can't hurt to try.)

No, that doesn't look to make a difference, but can't hurt to try.

No problem here on both SM 2.13a and FF 16.0a1

@ therube & -Px-
Thank you both for your input and tests.

... S211.mp4 plays fine, audio & video, though your capture of test.wmv did not capture the video portion of the test.wmv video.

FSCapture, didn't capture the video screen, because there isn't video screen as you could see in the mp4 (only black image and sound ...)

... set gfx.direct2d.disabled;true & test ...

The same result as before, (gfx.direct2d.disabled;true) it doesn't work.

(I used FSCapture too.)

And what is setting for DXVA in Windows Media Player itself? I suppose, you update it to 11 version?

Options for WMP 11:

Yep, few days ago, I updated to WMP 11(... with the same result as before).

That's Habilitar aceleracion de video DirectX in right part of the screen

So, I guess, that option it's correct ...

Try to uncheck it and see, if problem is still here

Hm...
Try to unset Usar el procesador de mezclas de video and see what changes...

It doesn't work.

Finally i found the culprit.
Always, I have modified, dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to "FALSE". But if the value it's "TRUE", the WMP plugin works without any problem.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help -Px-

What was your reasoning for that (OOPP)?
