Description Steven 2006-07-28 00:17:39 UTC

When I go to http://movies.yahoo.com and try to view one of the trailers, its 'media config' tool checks the plugins to see if you have WMP or Quicktime installed. I know for a fact that I can play them, but the plugin doesn't say that it is WMP/QT. Mplayerplug-in pretends to be WMP, Quicktime, and RealPlayer, and the site lets it by.

Sort of a duplicate of bug 343007...

Yahoo's site also has Javascript detection hard-coded to "Netscape" and "IE". It refuses to use Mozilla. Until that's fixed, I'm wondering whether there's any point trying to fix this bug (for this particular site obviously).

        Move plugin to browser-plugin/ and build 4 variants of it
