I’m trying to get shockwave support on an embedded system.
Voyager is up and running, but when I try to play a *.swf file
(file:///test.swf) it downloads it instead of playing it.
I copied all the file that I assumed are related: plugins directory,
so etc. But to no avail. Voyager does reconize .mpg files
but does’t play them and complain about missing shared object
which is expected. But .swf files are just downloaded???
Sounds like you are missing the file “config” from your plugins directory.
You are likely missing libmedia.so for the mpeg stuff.

Are the paths correct in the config file? Are the permissions executable
for the plugins? Are you sure this is a flash 4 file? Do you have
the mime type for futuresplash defined in the config file, too?
Futuresplash I think is flash 5.

I have NEVER heard of these environment variables for flash. Can you
play the local file with phflash? This should act as a sanity check.
I am assuming you have the Patch B (ie. a formal release) vice
a patch that may be newer then my info. The flashplayer
uses libasound.so.1 and libPtPlugin.so. That should
be it. You can of course confirm this with “objdump -x flashplayer”
if debug info exists. Any chance of posting the command
line print outs from your crash when it starts? Does the flash
swf file use relative pathnames or is it just a standalong file?
Any chance you are running out of RAM when the plugin is loaded,
or does voyager just not load the plugin? Is there a core file?

Yes

Yep using Patch B
.The flashplayer
uses libasound.so.1 and libPtPlugin.so. That should

if debug info exists. Any chance of posting the command

It doesn’t crash. Voyager just refuses to play it, instead it
sees it as “unknow file type” and pops up a dialog to save
the file
swf file use relative pathnames or is it just a standalong file?
I specify file:///test/help.swf in voyager
Any chance you are running out of RAM when the plugin is loaded,
I’ll check for RAM but the machine as 64M and since I’m
using a custom made ph script very few program are
started, no self, no package manager. I doubt that is the problem.
or does voyager just not load the plugin?
That’s the impression I get.
Is there a core file?
No.
I did a test just before leaving work. I rename /usr/photon /usr/photon.bak
then created a link via QNET to our server onto which the .swf are
playing fine (ln -s /net/main/usr/photon /usr/photon). The problem
still exists. I did the same with /etc but no success. Tomorrow
I will do to the same with other directory. That way I should be
able to figure out what’s missing.

Then you still don’t have the real explanation for the problem.
The right question (IMHO is:
My custom installation of voyager is not setting the
environment variables/standard configuration
properly. What could be going wrong?
I would look a permissions in the user account that
you are starting things from to confirm voyager
files in .photon (and others) are the same on
both systems. grep these files for /usr/photon/plugins
and VPI_… to see. I’m sure the two environment variable
mentioned earlier should be set to defaults by voyager
when run.
Sorry I don’t know more about voyager config.
Later,

Voyager is up and running, but when I try to play a *.swf
file
(file:///test.swf) it downloads it instead of playing it.I copied all the file that I assumed are related: plugins
directory,
so etc. But to no avail. Voyager does reconize .mpg files
but does’t play them and complain about missing shared
object
which is expected. But .swf files are just downloaded???

Then you still don’t have the real explanation for the problem.
The right question (IMHO >My custom installation of voyager is not setting the
environment variables/standard configuration
properly. What could be going wrong?I would look a permissions in the user account that
you are starting things from to confirm voyager
files in .photon (and others) are the same on
both systems. grep these files for /usr/photon/plugins
and VPI_… to see. I’m sure the two environment variable
mentioned earlier should be set to defaults by voyager
when run.Sorry I don’t know more about voyager config.
Thanks for the help. Right now I’m working in “fire extequisher” mode.
Once this is over I’ll investigate to find the true nature of the beast!

Great, VPI_PLUGIN_PATH is the path to the config file. You
should only need this if your config file is not in
/usr/photon/plugins.
Was this the case?Not it’s not: VPI_PLUGIN_PATH is set to /usr/photon/plugins.

I have NEVER heard of these environment variables for flash. Can
you
play the local file with phflash? This should act as a sanity
check.
I am assuming you have the Patch B (ie. a formal release) vice
a patch that may be newer then my info. The flashplayer
uses libasound.so.1 and libPtPlugin.so. That should
be it. You can of course confirm this with “objdump -x
flashplayer”
if debug info exists. Any chance of posting the command
line print outs from your crash when it starts? Does the flash
swf file use relative pathnames or is it just a standalong file?
Any chance you are running out of RAM when the plugin is loaded,
or does voyager just not load the plugin? Is there a core file?“Mario Charest” <> mcharest@nozinformatic.com> > wrote in message

Are the paths correct in the config file? Are the permissions

No prob … I think the VPI_PLUGIN_PATH isn’t documented in the help so
that’s no way you can find it in the help section. It should be set by
default when voyager runs.
