Cool VL Viewer forum

when i replace bin/llplugin/libmedia_plugin_webkit.so with a symlink to the webkit plugin from the 2.x viewer, it does not give me the error, but it still does not work because that one needs some other libraries...


but when I use a symlink to bin/llplugin/libmedia_plugin_webkit.so from an older dolphinviewer 1, it works just fine.

Please, do NOT use random plugins: the glue code used to link webkit with the viewer is version-dependent !

Please, try the plugins I linked in this post (just click on the links: your wgets got the wrong URLs !)

Strange, because QtWebkit-plugin-Linux-4.6_2-1.26.0.14 got the QT Webkit version used with viewer 2.8...
Are you sure you installed them right, overwriting the bin/llplugin/libmedia_plugin_webkit.so file in the Cool VL Viewer installation directory ?

The original libmedia_plugin_webkit.so is 40547353 bytes large, with md5sum 1d1b7db038230656e17b401e65376502.
libmedia_plugin_webkit.so v4.6_2-1.26.0.14 is 39049533 bytes large, with md5sum d38f3c7d8836ff1a9049ed0f0ab1b4e1.
libmedia_plugin_webkit.so v4.7.1_2-1.26.0.14 is 40700300 bytes large with md5sum cd3cc69da4d53f37b5d8031f13e4d297.

As for Snowglobe-i686-1.4.2.3626, the Showcase is not working properly (click the Teleport buttons for destinations with a sim name containing a space, and see by yourself...). In any case, Snowglobe Qt Webkit is unusable with the new search engine, so I cannot go back...

I notice that:

QtWebkit-plugin-Linux-4.6-1.26.0.14

and

QtWebkit-plugin-Linux-4.6_2-1.26.0.14

Seem to be the same file.

same here.

downloaded all three, none of them worked (32bit openSUSE 11.4)

Hmmm... I tried with an older Cool Viewer that i still had knocking around, and 1.26.0.12 fails in the same way.

Here's another thing that i tried:

I ran "lld" on both the webkit plugin that works, and the one that doesn't.

then I preared the output a bit to make it actually comparable, and then ran a diff:

"1" is the ldd output from the failing webkit, "2" is from the one that works.
Seems that the working one was linked against libasound and SDL, the failing one wasn't...

another little gem:

I've rebuilt the latest cool viewer on my openSUSE 11.4 laptop, and it works just fine.

Hmm... Maybe because you disabled FMOD ?... What happens if you run the stock Cool VL Viewer v1.26.0.14 with FMOD enabled and OpenAL disabled ?

same thing happens... no matter if its fmod or openAL, webkit plugins dies.

and the same happens with my self built, only that that one doesn't have fmod, so if i switch it to fmod instead of openAL it starts ok, but I have no sound.
