161197 - Real Player controls do not appear when playing video with plug-in

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Camino Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Douglas Beach]

When playing a video with the real player plugin, not only are the videos not
positioned properly (bug 158015), but the player controls do not appear, as they
do in (for example) Mozilla.  In a possibly related development, the Real splash
screen does not appear in the video window before the video plays.  (Again, this
works properly in Mozilla.)  I have witnessed this behavior on several websites,
for example, weather.com, espn.com, cnet news, etc.

Confirmed using Chimera/20020801 to access the testcases at
[http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/front-end/testcases/plugins/realaudiotest.html].

I think this is a problem with the plugin, not with Chimera. In IE, the
controller shows up only sporadically, and draws in wierd places when you scroll.

Another simple test case can be found here:

The plugin's controller is not appearing.

In Safari the Realplayer controls appear but there is a dialog error message: A
required component is missing to play the content you selected. Choose Update...

In Camino (Build ID: 2003090102 under Panther 7B53 on a powerbook G4/667Mhz) the
controls start to appear but do not seem to display. The same dialog error
message also appears.

In Mozilla (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5b)
Gecko/20030826) the page is completely blank.

the attachment url doesn't play welll with others, real player can't play it at all.

the URL in the URL field of the bug gives some tests but the osx player doesn't
fit w/in those boundaries. when it does, the controls display ok to me.
