Browse Codec detection for Real Streams fails

Description

Using Browse I'm unable to open many BBC realplayer links, despite having Watch & Listen installed.

The Watch&Listen Activity can play the .rm files when I open them directly, but Browse cannot correctly detect the realplayer option, and instead and only offers WMV for some reason.

Here is one link I tried: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/worldservice/meta/tx/live_news?size=au&bgc=003399&lang=en-ws&nbram=1&nbwm=1

A screenshot of the error is attached. I am using a B4 laptop, with Q2D04 firmware, running build 650.

Browse incorrectly detecting WMV capability instead of Realplayer from BBC World Service website.

  • summary changed from Broswe Codec detection for Real Streams fails to Browse Codec detection for Real Streams fails

We tried a script, which told us how the Browse plugins are returning enquiries about codecs. The test script is here: http://extdev.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/mediaselector.html

The results of the test script are in the codeblock below. It looks as though Totem is falsely returning "Windows Media Player Plug-in 10" as compatible. Also, Totem is returning "DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-In Compatible" in a different position to where the mediaselector scripts would normally expect to find it...

Hope this helps someone...

  Changed 6 years ago by jg

  • owner changed from erikos to jg
  • component changed from browse-activity to distro

So if I get this correctly the bbc web site is trying to find a browser plugin which supports Real Media. We can't ship Real Media support for gstreamer so I don't think we can do much about it at the moment.

I suppose the short time solution would be to document how to install real plugins on the XO.

follow-ups: ↓ 8 ↓ 11   Changed 5 years ago by jg

  • cc jg, walter added
  • owner changed from jg to erikos
  • component changed from distro to browse-activity

Is this fixable by having the real player installation stuff mess with the browser's mimetypes? If so, how?

Replying to marco:

We had done some work on this but for now it means duplicating all the DSOs. The plugin expects the libraries to be in a specific location. We were working to make the directory configurable but dropped these plans after we realized there was already a gstreamer plugin.

ideally watch and listen and the helix plugin would use the same set of libraries.

When I was working on Watch & Listen, we implemented a way for the browser/clipboard to open activities based on mime type. I think at some point(when the journal came into play) this was thrown out. Is there a way to gain this same functionality between the journal and browse?

On top of this, I don't believe Watch & Listen can ship the Real codecs yet, but it is trivial to add them after the fact. How to do this should probably be written regardless for curious G1G1 users.

yes, plugins register specific mimetypes within browse. Just to be clear the plugin I'm referring to is the embedded browser player.

Watch & Listen cannot ship the Real codecs. Yet.

  Changed 5 years ago by walter

The plan remains to only ship free and open codecs on the machine, but to make it easy for people to download the Real codecs. (Alas, Real does not have unilateral control over opening these codecs, but we do want kids to be able to access Real-encoded content if they so desire.)

Replying to jg:

The only approach I can think of is to have the watch&listen plugin also install a web browser plugin. We don't have infrastructure in place to do this cleanly, though.

Reassigning to kreneskeyp and adding myself on cc in the case we need to provide infrastructure on the Sugar side to solve this. (Isn't there a trac component for watch&listen?)

Yes, it was called Helix-activity. I'll rename it...
