255910 - Plugin sniffer fails to find nppl3260.xpt file for RealPlayer

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 184506

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Max Spicer]

The RealOnePlayer sets "XPTPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Real\\RealOne
Player\\Netscape6\\nppl3260.xpt" under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@real.com/nppl3260;version=6.0.10.835]
but Firefox (and I'm assuming also Mozilla), fail to pick up the XPT file.  I
have neither the plugin or the xpt file in my plugins/components directory, and
the plugin is picked up, but not scriptable - suggesting that the nppl3260.dll
is picked up correctly, but not the xpt.  As far as I can tell, Real are
correctly registering both the plugin and xpt file, but Mozilla's handling is
broken.  This means that sites such as
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio4_aod.shtml are broken as the ability to
control the plugin via there play, pause, fast forward buttons is lost.

I've gone for major severity on this as it breaks a lot of high visibilty sites
that rely on the real plugin.

Attachment: Registry keys created by Real in MozillaPlugins key

These are the keys that the RealOnePlayer created when installed.  These look
fine to me, but Mozilla fails to pick up the xpt file from them.
