Description

Since moving the database to new server and upgrading from 1.7.4 to 1.8.4, rm files from my media server or elsewhere bring up prompt to install missing plug-in, subsequently identified as Realplayer 10.5 (which is installed and works inspite of error message in IE7 but not in Mozilla browser).
What has changed between the two versions to break this? There was no error message during upgrade. Installing another daily patch of 1.8.4+ did not help either. No modified code in any of the Moodle source files.

Error message in IE7: error in lines 42, character 11 no such interface supported
Firefox just shows plug-in search page.

The sample link below is accessible through guest login. Video recording plays back in Realplayer in all browsers but in page with error in IE7 and not at all in Mozilla.

I can't get the realmedia files to play in Firefox on any version of Moodle, so I don't think it's much to do with the changes between 1.7 and 1.8.

I just attached a patch for adding .rm embedding support to the resource module. Please test and write feedback here.

Dear Mathieu,

I am surprised. The problem still persists, and no solution is available. Using Firefox 2.0.14 and Realplayer 10.5 or 11, I do not see anything that works well. What gives?

Norbert,

I tested this here (Moodle 1.9, FF3b, under Ubuntu Linux - so using the mplayer-plugin) and it works well. I have also tested this under Windows XP with RealPlayer 11.0.3, and it works well there too in both FF2.0 and IE7.

I saw you opened another ticket, and I think that the particular problem you are having is distinct from the current issue. As this one doesn't seem to fix the problem you witness on your site, please send in more information in MDL-14412 (like steps to reproduce and such).

Mathieu,

I see you are using different software. Will upgrade to 1.9 and submit more details in MDL-14412. Thanks for now
