Description freggy1 2009-01-23 21:23:04 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Totem does not provide a RealPlayer plug-in. Because of that, some streams using just the standard mp3-format with RealPlayer plug-in, cannot be played with Totem, because the site does not find a Realplayer compatible plug-in. The same stream plays fine with mplayerplug-in

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.defected.com/store/store-details-digital/Studio-Apartment-In-the-House/2332
2. Click on any of the music notes icon


Actual results:
A pop-up window opens with a download link for Real Player

Expected results:
The pop-up window should embed a media player and just play the MP3 file, like mplayerplug-in does

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
The site uses this javascript to find whether realplayer is installed:
var real
//----------Real Player check module----------//
real = 0;
numPlugins = navigator.plugins.length;
for(i=0;i<numPlugins;i++)
{
	plugin = navigator.plugins[i];
	if (plugin.name.indexOf("RealPlayer") != -1) real = 1; 
}
//--------------------End of module--------------------//
if (WM_easyDetect('realaudio') != 1 && real != 1)
{
	
	document.write("<div id=\"realPlayer\"><a href=\"http://uk.real.com/player/?&src=ppc_google_realmusic_uk_player,ZG.uk.rm.rm.hd.def\" target=\"_blank\">Download Real Player</a></div>");
}
else
{
player ='<object type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" data="http://www.defected.com/audio/samples/studioapartment_siarre_sergiofloresremix.mp3" width="302"height="36" id="rvocx" controls="controlpanel" autostart="true">'
+ 	'<param name="src" value="http://www.defected.com/audio/samples/studioapartment_siarre_sergiofloresremix.mp3">'
+	'<param name="autostart" value="true">'
+	'<param name="controls" value="controlpanel">'
+	'<param name="enablejavascript" value="true">'
+'</object>';
document.write(player);
}  

Simply providing a plug-in with the name RealPlayer, like mplayerplug-in does, should probably be enough to make this work.

It does, but it's disabled by default because it doesn't support most of the features from the real RealPlayer plugin.
