VLCPlayer wrong size under linux

[Yegor]

Hello.

I'm using Firefox VLC plugin to play video in my app under Ubuntu.
The problem is the size of the player doesn't fit well. It always
fixed and occupies small part of the window.
The same behaviour repeats on OpenSUSI..

In spite of this when I run vlc player plugin independently from my
app I get correct size, Futhermore, my app work perfect under Windows
So my question is anybody come across with the problem ? Is it bst-
player lib problem or not?

Thanks...

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Hello,

Do you have the same experience with other players like Quicktime?

Does it work properly on other browsers like Chrome?

It works fine for me!

Regards.

[Yegor Fadeev]

Hello.
Yes, I repeat the same behaviour with Quicktime.
As far as Chrome, it either crashed or wasn't seeing 'libvlcplugin.so' library

I made the test case to show how it works.

Also I have deployed vlctest project on my test server.

http://195.138.64.241:9876/vlctest/

I checked the problem on Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 11.04, openSUSI 11.4.

Yegor..

I still need an answer.

Might I have to install some additional codecs ?

[sbraheem]

You need no more codecs since you could get it to play.

While creating the player widget:
- use a fixed pixel size for height instead of % values.
- set player.resizeToVideoSize() to false/true

Hope that helps.

Hello.
I changed code like this:

Widget widget = null;
try {

player = PlayerUtil.getPlayer(Plugin.VLCPlayer, "http://
195.138.64.241/films/action/bearYogy/interny_41.mpg", true, "480px",
"100%");
//player.setControllerVisible(false);
player.setResizeToVideoSize(false);
player.setResizeToVideoSize(true);

widget = player;
} catch (LoadException le) {
...
Unfortunatly, the problem hasn't dissapeared

[Yegor]

I forgot to say, that resizing successful just for player controls

[sbraheem]

What version of bst-player are you using?

What version of VLC player do you have installed?

[Yegor Fadeev]

I'm using  bst-player from repository (http://bst-player.googlecode.com/svn/trunk)
Now I have VLC plugin version 1.1.11
Firefox version 3.6.22

[sbraheem]

Did you have the same issue with bst-player 1.2.1?

[Yegor Fadeev]

Yes, I had.
I used to bst-player-1.2.1
But when I came across with my problem I built bst-player lib from sources.

Can you confirm if the patch on Issue 39 works for you?

[Yegor Fadeev]

The source code was slightly different from code in patch. (PlayerWidget was moved to spi package for example)
Nevertheless I tried to change source code but with no luck


I attached my changes .. It possibly I miss something

[Yegor]

I solved my problem (Might isn't the best solution).
It need to change getVLCElement method in CorePlayerProvider class

//com.bramosystems.oss.player.core.client.impl.CorePlayerProvider.java

protected PlayerElement getVLCElement(String playerId, String
mediaURL, boolean autoplay) {
PlayerElement e = new PlayerElement(PlayerElement.Type.EmbedElement,
playerId, "application/x-vlc-plugin");
e.addParam("loop", "" + false);
e.addParam("target", mediaURL);
e.addParam("autoplay", "" + autoplay);
e.addParam("events", "true");
+ e.addParam("width", "800px");
+ e.addParam("height", "600px");
e.addParam("version", "VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2");
return e;
}

Hi All,

I've been noticing an issue that the latest version of VLC Player is
crashing when used via the plugin on AVI files. I receive the following
message inside the plugin window "The VLC Multimedia plugin has
crashed. (Click here to) Send crash report".

Has anyone experienced similar issues with the VLC plugin lately? If
so, is there a known workaround? I'm using VLC 1.1.11.

Cheers,
-Scott

[Scott Selikoff]

A few additional notes:

- The issue did not appear in 1.1.10 and only starts appearing in 1.1.11

- The default background (when autoplay is false) is grey starting in 1.1.11

- The error doesn't always appear but most often appears when switching
between views. For example, switching between tabs such that the video
player is no longer in view triggers VLC to crash, whereas previous it
would just stop the item from playing.

[Scott Selikoff]

The nightly build of VLC 1.1.12 does not cause this issue, therefore it
is isolated to 1.1.11. Recommend using 1.1.10 until the official 1.1.12
is released.
