Build ID: 2002062908 Sirius Satellite Radio Media player doesn't work. Go to http://www.sirius.com Click on a type of music Now select a specific channel (I picked 53) Click on the speaker left of the channel number to pop up the player The player opens but I can't get it to play... (It claims that no channel is selected. For a shortcut click here: http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/CachedPage&c=Page&cid=1019257316800&si=5_1_1&p1=53 Note that this failure has tarnished an otherwise favorable Mozilla review in the International Hearald Tribune: http://www.iht.com/articles/61550.html (the problem is mentioned on page 3 of the article) No Javascript errors noted. I suspect this is related to the Windows Media Player plug-in problem... http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151074

You need to make sure that the browser has recognized the plug-in. The easiest way to do that is to go to Help|About Plugins and see if it shows up in the list. If it does not, try shift+reload and see if it shows up. If that does not refresh the plug-ins page, try logging out of the app and log back in again. If after all of that and the plug-in does not show up in the plug-ins list, then search your hard drive and look for the associated dll file for the plug-in, copy the dll into the Program Files|Netscape|Netscape|Plugins directory - logout of the browser and back in again, and recheck the About|Plugins page. If the plug-in does not work after all that -- then we do have a bug!

The plugin appears to be properly installed as far as I can tell: Excerpt from Help|About Plug-Ins Microsoft (R) DRM File name: npdrmv2.dll Network Object Plugin Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-drm-v2 Network Interface Plugin (*.nip) nip Yes Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library File name: npdsplay.dll Npdsplay dll Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/asx Media Files * Yes video/x-ms-asf-plugin Media Files * Yes application/x-mplayer2 Media Files * Yes video/x-ms-asf Media Files (*.asf,*.asx) asf,asx,* Yes video/x-ms-wm Media Files (*.wm) wm,* Yes audio/x-ms-wma Media Files (*.wma) wma,* Yes audio/x-ms-wax Media Files (*.wax) wax,* Yes video/x-ms-wmv Media Files (*.wmv) wmv,* Yes video/x-ms-wvx Media Files (*.wvx) wvx,* Yes Microsoft® Windows Media Services File name: npwmsdrm.dll Windows Multimedia Services DRM Store Plug-In Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-drm DRM File (*.dnp) dnp Yes

you checked the dll is installed in the plugins directory?

Yes, all three are installed. (Media player 7.01) npdrmv2.dll npwmsdrm.dll npdsplay.dll

this could possibly be a regression from bug 150087

just went back to 614branch build and this still reproduces the way it does on 0709 brnch. I see an error in js console "Error: d has no properties Source File: http://www.sirius.com/MediaPlayer/JS/genre.js Line: 52" when I click on any channels after the alert asks me to do so. clicking in the blank tab at the bottom of the window takes me to download mplayer2 even tho I have the files for media player...hmm

Yeah, this is not a regression from bug 150087 as it happens on builds without that fix. During triage, Serge said they are incorrectly sniffing the browser despite using ua.js. --->reassign to evang

This page http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/CachedPage&c=Page&cid=1019257316800&si=5_1_1&p1=15 gives me: <script language="JavaScript"> var uAG="Mozilla/4.77 [en]C-CCK-MCD (Win98; U)"; var uBN="Netscape"; var uBV="4.77"; var uOS="Win98"; </script> I checked an my ua string is *not* set to nav4. Clicking on the listen now link and then mousing over and clicking in the popup gives: Error: d has no properties Source File: http://www.sirius.com/MediaPlayer/JS/player.js Line: 38 Error: d has no properties Source File: http://www.sirius.com/MediaPlayer/JS/genre.js Line: 52 Saved the popup to disk as complete web page. panel.html does use ua.js but does not use the values properly. It maps all netscape browsers into ie, and in other places use the old navigator.family values instead of it's remapped ones. They also have problems in panel.html with unclosed attributes, etc. Arun, I will attach a 'fixed' version however it will probably needs some work with regard to their object tags.

This page seems to have been updated, but still doesn't work. Now, it specifically detects for Mozilla (vs. Netscape 4) and maps Mozilla onto "other". Then in http://sirius.com/MediaPlayer/JS/genre.js there is a switch statement which has a case for "nn4", a case for "ie", and a case for "other" which is NOOPed. The steps to reproduce are: 1. Goto http://sirius.com. 2. Click the "listen now" button in the upper-right. Popup appears. 3. Notice that when you click a genre nothing happens. (the list of stations is supposed to appear on the right side of the popup)

This zip contains the original popup, a 'fixed' popup and a diff showing the changes. Essentially replaced old ua.js with current version, fixed browser checking to use values from ua.js ("ie4", "nn4", "gecko") and fixed several invalid javascript hrefs which had the form <a href="javascript:foo("bar")">baz</a> None of this matters though since the page uses WMP and scripts it using SCRIPT FOR EVENT stuff for IE and the ActiveX compatibility applet for NN4 ( I think ). Can we convince them to support a media for which we have a fully scriptable solution available?

Bob, is this still an issue? I'm not entirely clear on what, exactly, the problem is, and based on the fact that bug 287280 was filed as "works in Firefox, not in Camino", it sure sounds like this bug has been FIXED (and replaced by that one, which deals with busted sniffing).

Bug 375668 indicates this has been FIXED by Sirius (and replaced by the much more minor issue in that bug).
