151677 - Shockwave for Director content doesn't load

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Winnie Lam]

From mozdev 1147 - http://mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1147

As advertised, Quicktime and Flash plugins work but Shockwave doesn't
seem to activate at all? Habbo (www.habbohotel.com) is a pretty good
site for checking out Shockwave performance as it's probably the most
complicated Shockwave implementation ever.

Click on "Go" in the image.  A new window opens but nothing is loaded in that
new window.  This does not hang or crash chimera, however.

reproduced using 0.3.0 06-13 build on OS 10.1.5.

Did you install the plugins into the Chimera directory? 0.3 doesn't pick them up
from the internet plugins folder yet (at least it doesn't for me)

[Winnie Lam]

My .mozilla/plugins folder is empty.  I do have shockwave plugins, according to
about:plugins.

File name: Shockwave Flash NP-PPC
Shockwave Flash 6.0 r29

File name: PluginLib
Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 8.5.1

Confirmed using Chimera/20020614. It works using FizzillaCFM/2002061014.

(FWIW, my Chimera seems to pick up plug-ins from [/Library/Internet Plug-Ins]
just fine.)

Comment 4

[saari (gone)]

it looks like ShockWave isn't officially supported for Netscape/Mozilla on OSX
yet, although the IE version of the plugin should theoretically work. Does it
load for any site or is this a site specific bug?

Comment 5

[Greg K.]

Other Shockwvae stuff at shockwave.com works fine in Chimera. I suspect there's
something else going on specific to habbohotel.com.

->bnesse, not a blocker if other shockwave content works

Comment 7

[Brian Nesse (gone)]

This appears to be a issue with data streaming. I see this on other shockwave
items such as games (the daily jigsaw puzzle at http://www.shockwave.com for
instance) where a window is opened, and a data transfer (file download I expect)
is supposed to take place.

Comment 8

[Winnie Lam]

Changing summary to "shockwave content doesn't load".  Also changing URL to a
more common one - bnesse's shockwave.com example in comment #7.  

If you go to the noted URL, some content doesn't load.  If you click on "play
game", most of the screen including the game doesn't load. 

Comment 9

[Garret Huntress]

I'm not sure if this is directly related or not... but:

Going to the provided test url using chimera 7-22, shockwave content didn't
load.  However, I decided to click and drag where the content should have been.
 What I got was an outline from completely outside the window! now, I'm not sure
if this is a different bug (there are plenty of drag bugs) or if the shockwave
plugin is drawing out in the middle of nowhere.

Any ideas?

Comment 10

[Greg K.]

Garret, that's a different bug (I don't have the number offhand, but I've seen it).

Comment 11

[Jürg Lehni]

You shouldn't mix things up: there are two versions of shockwave content: The
one created with macromedia flash (shockwave flash) and the one created with
macromedia director (shockwave director). Flash, as used on shockwave.com does
work just well (beside a few problems during scrolling), but director, used by a
lot of more complicated webpages like habbo hotel doesn't work at all.

Confirming this is still broken.

Comment 14

[Lewis Francis]

Might be helpful to change the summary to read "Shockwave for Director content
doesn't load" to minimize confusion with Flash support issues.

Shockwave branding dilution has lead Macromedia to rename the Flash plugin to
"Flash Player", but the damage is done.

Fwiw, Omniweb also cannot load Shockwave for Director content.  Is there an
architectural limitation with using carbon plugins that have external resources?

Comment 15

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

If someone could test Mozilla branch and trunk builds, that would be great.
Peterl: is this likely to be another CFM vs. Macho thing?

Comment 16

[Lewis Francis]

Test case url works with Moz 1.1, 1.2b and NS 7.  

Comment 17

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

As far as I can tell, the plugin is behaving differently under Chimera than in a
branch CFM build. It loads and inits fine. In Mozilla, when we send a null event
to the plugin (which comes out of a gecko GOTFOCUS event), the plugin then calls
geturl() (in the testcase I was using, the url was
"javascript:window.location+"__swmenu__unique__""). In chimera, geturl() was
never called.

Under Mozilla, the plugin also requested the user-agent string twice. This only
happens once for Chimera.

Comment 21

[Peter Lubczynski]

from bug 179139: NPP_New returns error on Mach-O:

CFM log:
0[4e2ad0]: NPP New called: this=3fc8310, npp=3fc8324,
mime=application/x-director, mode=1, argc=8, return=0

Chimera log:

mime=application/x-director, mode=1, argc=8, return=1

Comment 22

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

I wonder if the plugin is looking in application resources, say for a 'vers'
resource or something. This would fail for chimera.

Comment 23

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

My guess was correct. Adding a 'Localized.rsrc' file with a 'vers' resource in
English.lproj inside the bundle allows Director content to load. Howver, it
draws at the wrong offset :-\

Comment 24

Taking

Comment 25

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

I checked in build changes to add a 'vers' resource to Chimera, so this bug is
fixed. Note that Director content displays at the wrong offset if hardware
rendering (OpenGL) is enabled in its context menu; switch to software rendering,
and it draws fine. This is probably a bug in the plugin.

Comment 26

[FZiegler]

I guess this doesn't (yet) fix the Mach-O "dupe" (comment 19), right?

Comment 27

[Chris Petersen]

Using the 2002-11-27-04 Chimera build, I was able to load shockwave based sites
like habbohotel.com as well as shockwave.com games. Marking verified.

Comment 28

[Lewis Francis]

I'm able to load Shockwave Director content, but often it won't render until I
force a refresh my resizing my window.  Anyone else seeing this?  Should this be
written up as a different bug?
