GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 171019
RealAudio support
Last modified: 2010-04-07 12:36:22 UTC
The mozilla plugin doesn't work with: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/fivelive.shtml?listen (See the FIXME in the code to enable the audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin before trying to fix that) The new_window is never called, as it's a windowless embed (width & height == 0). And we probably can't handle ram/rpm playlists either.
On gecko trunk, SetWindow is correctly called for windowless plugins (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266933). I still cannot get the site above to play, though; it spews a constant stream of JavaScript error: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/networks/fivelive/live.shtml?listen, line 393: document.RP.GetPlayState is not a function messages on console. It looks like the totem plugin would need to implement the realplayer plugin's JS interface (from nsIHXPlayer.idl in the helix player source)? And this would still need to be fixed in the non-gecko 1.9 case of course.
2006-08-07 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * src/plparse/totem-pl-parser.c: (totem_pl_parser_is_ra), (totem_pl_parser_add_ra), (totem_pl_parser_is_quicktime): Add checks to detect Real Audio/Video playlists * src/totem-mozilla-plugin.cpp: Add audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin to the supported list, hide the video window is height && width == 0 I also created bug 350305 to track the Javascript support.
We removed the crappy RealAudio support in 2.29.2.
