I recently tried viewing a metavid video[1] but instead of showing a
video, my browser displayed the text "[generic_missing_plugin]" where
the video should have been. This appears to happen with all metavid
videos (I see a lot of "[generic_missing_plugin]" when I visit
http://metavid-mike.blogspot.com/).
I am using Firefox 3.0.6 on Ubuntu 8.10. I do not have any Flash
plugins installed, nor do I have the VLC plugin installed. However, I
do have the Totem plugins installed for a wide variety of media
formats. According to my Applications list in Preferences, "Totem Web
Browser Plugin" is associated with "Ogg Audio", "Ogg Video", and "Ogg
multimedia file". I am able to play Theora/Vorbis files embedded via
<object> without any problems through Totem.
Is my setup supported? If not, are there plans to support it? It
would be nice to see mv_embed support arbitrary video plugins that
claim to play Ogg media.
I am really looking forward to a tool like mv_embed becoming
widely-adopted. It would be a huge step toward getting us out of
today's online video mess.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

how dose the MV_embed sort what file type can be play?
why is flash video picked first to be played when it is at the bottom of the list?
is there anyway I can override this setting?
for example:
i want theora video to play if VLC is installed,
else play flash video (if the flash video exist) with flowplayer
else play the theora video with Cortado

the Mv_embed's backquote in my wordpress installation
get rethemed/re-skined and all the text that is write cant be read
can you add a style to the backquote in both the stream selection section and the download section
to make the backgroud black?

Hi Metavid folks,
David with OpenCongress here - at Aphid's direction I'm posting a
small FlowPlayer related issue to the list. (Apologies if this is a
dupe in any way, I looked in the Jan. archives beforehand to check.)
I'm on Mac 10.5.6 using FF 3.0.5. Starting on this sample page on our
dev server ::
http://dev.opencongress.org/person/videos/400080_john_conyers
... playing the first video on the page, "Title: House proceeding
10-02-08 0:25:39 to 0:29:15", if a user drags the video playback
progress bar towards the center of the video (to skip ahead), the
video playback remains dimmed, as it is when FlowPlayer first loads a
video. This dimness obtains whether a user has started playing the
video & skips ahead, or not started playing the video & skips ahead.
Sound playback appears to be fine.
In Safari v.3.2.1, user is not allowed to grab the FlowPlayer progress
bar & skip ahead in video, at least we found that to be the case, it
just restarts the video
Ideal behavior for our users would be able to skip ahead in videos w/
no dimness & with the time to which they're skipped ahead displayed in
the regular FlowPlayer time section.
Hope this was a useful little report, certainly no biggie, hit me up
anytime for more deets, my contact info is below.
Thanks,
-David

Subject: Re: [Ogg a11y] another <video> tag srt, cmml example
hmm it should work if you set the content-type of the source to "text/x-src" ... feel free to pop by #metavid on irc.freenode.net and I can help with any issues that may come up if you want to try using it on your website .... I am presently "using" mv_embed on metavid.org

Start your day with Yahoo!7 and win a Sony Bravia TV. Enter now http://au.docs.yahoo.com/homepageset/?p1=other&p2=au&p3=tagline
I am about to push out some new updates.. we want to get in the practice
of announcing updates here prior to pushing them "live" ... so that any
person that is using or embedding metavid content will have a chance to
test or report anything thats not working prior to it going live on
metavid.org.
In practice this is mostly for our internal "team" to check the staging
server but may be relevant to others so big feature updates will be
announced on this list.
Anyway the staging server is:
http://mvbox2.cse.ucsc.edu/wiki/
Aphid did you ever prepare a testing matrix for browsers plugins we are
targeting? ... maybe you could send that report here.
peace,
michael
