[Plugin-2] Browser Plugins
older newer | first last |
Volker 17-Jun-2006 [1275x3] | works in both browsers, with app. |
.. own app.. | |
except of "wait time", that waits a few secs instead of fractions. | |
Ingo 17-Jun-2006 [1278] | FF 1.5 WinXP install worked. I already tried yesterday, but it didn't work then. But the only demo that's working for me ist the one on the auto-install page. Everywhere else I only get a black line. |
Volker 17-Jun-2006 [1279x3] | Maybe the object-id has changed, and html needs to change? the old plugin is removed, so.. |
Could there be an easy way to uninstall? I feel more comfortable when i can say people "install it, try my script, uninstall" as long as security is not finished. | |
Had a massive memory-leak somewhere in the browser, while running heavy graphics plugin and reloading often. Seems they got stuck on quit or something? (as i said, reloaded, called also quita few times) | |
Graham 17-Jun-2006 [1282] | i changed the object id etc .. no luck. |
Volker 17-Jun-2006 [1283x3] | the initial demo worked? |
Friend and me having fun with the plugin. Really amateurisch :) He tries the web-part, http://www.legends-of-istaba.de.ki/and webcaming, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7522578118238437287. But insist on keeping the real thing secret :) (anyway not worth 10mb download for now..) | |
(and he does the artwork, based on stuff found here: http://reinerstileset.4players.de/index.html ) | |
Graham 17-Jun-2006 [1286x4] | And the demos don't work for me. |
Do any of the demos work for FF ie. have they been updated for the new plugin? | |
Ok, thanks to hints from Volker, I got my chat working with the new plugin under firefox | |
Looks like the plugin now requires an absolute path to the launchurl .. if given a relative url, it attempts to execute off the local drive | |
[unknown: 9] 17-Jun-2006 [1290] | Yeah Graham, I'm waiting for the same. I think JoshM just needs to have a status report on IE, FF, SA OP. Actually we need to do the same thing for Qtask (so I''m not ragging, just pointing out we ALL need to do a better job of keeping everyone updated). |
DideC 18-Jun-2006 [1291x2] | OK, tried to Install on IE : falied. - I have remove the old one and goes to the install page, clicking yes to the security request, but nothing ! - When I go again to the page, no request, no plugin running :-( Win2k (uptodate) on IE6 (uptodate) |
I have retried after removing file by hand (command line) and after flushing the cache : no more luck ! | |
Pekr 18-Jun-2006 [1293] | strange - it works here, DideC, I also removed plug-in by just deleting the files in C:\Windows\Downloaded program files |
Volker 18-Jun-2006 [1294] | rebooted? if you have some hidden ie running, it may not look for new plugins. |
Pekr 18-Jun-2006 [1295x3] | hmm, mozilla plug-in installed (Seamonkey 1.0.1), but instead of demos, I can see only a vertical black line ... |
(using non installed version of Seamonkey - just unzipped ...) | |
Josh - please revisit the "Find out why" - the content is no more actual there ... | |
Pekr 19-Jun-2006 [1298] | Until the news are old, I would like to submit plug-in news to Osnews.com ..... |
Anton 19-Jun-2006 [1299] | I would wait until it's more stable, Pekr. |
Pekr 19-Jun-2006 [1300x4] | but - we need some cooperation here first: - change of "Find out why" document - change of docs to reflect how to go via proxy ...., using user.r, making user.r example downloadable - revisit demos - removing most user demos which are not working, making some nice visual demos from Contest running in plug-in ... |
Thanks Anton, that way my last point - should we wait, or no ... | |
anyway - I would like to get name of person, who can we contact in regards to above mentioned things .... | |
hmm, can't get plug-in working at my work in any way ... maybe our company cache involved, refers to old .cab6 file .... manually adjusting the page to latest object settings did not help either .... just wanted to ask, if there is still anyone with problems in regards to latest plug-in release, or am I alone? | |
Volker 19-Jun-2006 [1304] | I guess all the pages need new tags |
Anton 19-Jun-2006 [1305] | I was unsuccessful getting the plugin to work on XP + Firefox so far. I didn't try very hard yet, though. |
Volker 19-Jun-2006 [1306] | Have you noted there are two tags, and you have to edit both? or does not eventhe install-page work? |
Pekr 19-Jun-2006 [1307x2] | not even the install .... it worked at home - WinXP, but not at work - both notebook with W2K (no proxy) and PC with W2K (behind the proxy) |
two tags? one for mozilla (embed) and one for IE (object), no? | |
Volker 19-Jun-2006 [1309x2] | Yes. |
Did not notice ihave to change both urls. Thought others did not notice too maybe ;) | |
Pekr 19-Jun-2006 [1311] | my older mozilla on notebook - 1.6 was in strange state - after finishing the mozilla, one of its processes remained in memory .... I will update ... |
JoshM 19-Jun-2006 [1312x2] | Hi all.... |
First off, thanks for all the feedback. It's good to know the plugin is broken in so many places. LOL. | |
Pekr 19-Jun-2006 [1314] | well, at least hopefully rebol itself is not broken :-) Once we get plug-in to more polished state, it will rock :-) |
JoshM 19-Jun-2006 [1315x4] | Here's a few general notes: * You absolutely MUST uninstall the previous release completely (by closing down your browser, maybe restarting, etc.) before attempting to install the new release. Otherwise, you're asking for major trouble. * You must change LaunchURL in *both* the EMBED and OBJECT tags. * Old demos don't work with the new plugin, and practically no existing site will work with FF. This is because FF requires the EMBED tag. |
Continued: * Please don't announce this release to the world yet.. As you can tell, we've still got a long ways to go before we are really solid. * I'm going to try to go through each of you're trouble cases, just tell me if I miss you.... | |
james_nak: To install manually on FF, download the Opera zip package and extract everything to %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla FireFox\plugins. You must extract it to the actual plugins dir, not a subdir. | |
Graham: please post repro steps for the illegal operation error. | |
Pekr 19-Jun-2006 [1319] | Josh - not sure if it is too early or not, but maybe we should start to coordinate a bit - I mean - docs, user demos - remove not functioning. We need to be ready, that once we release, we have nice, and mainly ONLY functioning demos there. Then someone could write multiple instances bouncing ball, probably Cyphre :-) |
JoshM 19-Jun-2006 [1320] | Volker: do-browser simply executes a line of javascript within the context of the HTML page. Whatever security settings apply to javascript running within <script> tags in the page apply to do-browser code. |
Volker 19-Jun-2006 [1321] | Good. Was not sure about that context, wanted to be sure its the one of the html, not something with plugin-rights. |
JoshM 19-Jun-2006 [1322x3] | Allen: read-via-browser is a thought, but limits the "magic" of REBOL, no? I'm open to thoughts here....the signed scripts only idea is interesting to me.... |
Brock: I'm not sure that test.html has been updated yet....need to check on that.... | |
Brock: I have the plugin installed and working great on both browsers here, but who cares right ;-) | |
