- Notes on the plugin's internals
- ===============================
-
-
- Envars of interest
- ===================
-
- export TOTEM_EMBEDDED_DEBUG_SYNC=1
- - Pass --sync to the totem-plugin-viewer
-
- export TOTEM_EMBEDDED_DEBUG_FATAL=1
- - Pass --g-fatal-warnings to the totem-plugin-viewer
-
- export TOTEM_EMBEDDED_GDB=1
- - Launch a gdb session inside an xterm to capture crashes and errors
- from the totem-plugin-viewer
-
- export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=`pwd`
- - Mozilla/Gecko/Firefox envar to lookup the browser plugins in the current
- directory
-
- Disabling specific mime-types
- =============================
-
- This can be achieved using 2 files. They are:
- /etc/totem/browser-plugins.ini ($(sysconfdir)/totem/browser-plugins.ini)
- and
- ~/.config/totem/browser-plugins.ini
-
- The format is:
- [Plugins]
- [mimetype].disabled=true/false
-
- For example, to disable all the mime-types in the Complex plugin:
- [Plugins]
- audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin.disabled=true
-
- The system-wide file will take precedence over any settings in the user-wide
- setting. Bear in mind that Firefox/Seamonkey might not re-read the plugin list
- once it's been cached. You might have to remove the pluginreg.dat from the Mozilla
- profile directory.
-
- Special topics: Complex plugin
- ==============================
-
- The complex plugin supports multiple plugins working together, see
- [http://service.real.com/help/library/guides/realone/ProductionGuide/HTML/realpgd.htm?page=htmfiles/embed.htm].
-
- To implement this, we maintain a list of totem complex plugins.
- The plugins are partitioned into classes by their 'console' name; and a
- random plugin (well, the first one instantiated) is chosen as representant.
- This one owns the plugin viewer and all viewer interaction of the linked plugins
- are done trough it. When this plugin is destroyed, we search for a new
- representant, transfer the viewer ownership to it and update the representant
- pointer in all of the classes' plugins.
-
- Special topics: NarrowSpace plugin
- ==================================
-
- The NarrowSpace plugin currently handles only a small portions of the possible
- PARAMETERS possible:
