Plugin Functionality

[David B.]

I understand that IE6 does not support some plugin
functionality that previous interations of IE did support.

Specificaly, I am trying to use modplug to allow tracker
type music files (.mod, .s3m, .it, .xm, .far, .ult, .669)
to be played via the browser.

I have found on the net, a supposed regfix to restore that
lost functionality.

However I can't get it to work.

The regfix is this:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/x-mod]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/x-
zipped-mod]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/it]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/x-
zipped-it]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/xm]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/x-s3m]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/mod]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/669]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/x-669]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"

Having said all that, is there a way to get IE6 to run
this "classic" or older style plugins?

Or am I gonna have to invent the wheel again if I want to
do this?

Best regards,

David B.

1. That would mean that ever visitor would have to install modplug in their system.
2. You will have to add the mime types to your server configuration before the browser could "see"
the files.

Is there any reason you can't use a more standard format such as midi, avi, etc...??

I don't mind users having to download the plugin. That's
how it use to work. It's not a large download.

An no, I can't use another format because these type files
are what I am trying to present.

Tracker files are kinda like midi files, but with the
sampes/instruments included in the file. That's one of
the reasons I think they are so neat. If you have the
song file, you have all the instruments as well, and can
use them in your own compositions.

I guess is just an each to his own kinda thing.

So if I understand correctly, your telling me the hang up
is on the Server computer that hosts the site? The mime
types have to be registered there?

I have a java implementation of a mod music file player,
but its crude and would need to be recoded as it is just a
command line consoul thingy.

If I could just get IE 6 to run the modplug it, it has all
the bells and whistles, and I wouldnt have to go through
the gui development.

Thanks for your replay.

modfile is like a midifile on steriods


just had to add that thought

You might not mind the users having to download the plug-in, but the users "might," and that's my
point.

Also if the plug-in is downloaded / installed, does the user still have to modify the registry for
it to work in IE 6??

If so, I would recommend bundling / compiling the plug in and the registry entries in an installer
for people to download
and make a note on the site stating "To use these files you will need to download and run so and so
setup.exe.
The free Inno set up compiler will create the setup.exe for you, but you will have to do some
serious "Help file" reading to set it up to create the executable.

Ah yes, the scary prgram is gonna invade my computer
phobia.

Which is of course a genuine concern.

But if you state clearly its just a component to add more
functionality to your machine, most people will dare to be
bold.

And yes, i could repack the plugin to add the reg entires
to the users computer.

But here I am back to my first problem.

I can't get it to work PERIOD.

IE6 just won't run it (at least on my home xp pro
system). Earlier iterations of IE would.
The registry fix I posted was suggested on another site as
a work around, but I can't get it to float on my system.

It does run in IE 5.5 on Win2k here at the office.

I was hoping to find the missing part of the puzzle here.
What does it take to make IE6 doe what IE 5.5 did? This
is the nugget of information I am qeusting for.

Best regards,

David B.

[David B.]

But why does IE 5.5 not require all me to fiddle with the
server machine?

The user installs the plugin, which puts a dll file in the
plugin folder, and problably registers the extension types.

And when they go to a site that use the plugin, up it pops.

They can also drag and drop a mod file onto the browser,
and it will load the plug in and being playing.

Why does IE6 not do this, can it be made to do it again as
IE5.5 did, how do I do this?

I'd rather not have to fiddle on the server machine, as I
might want to use the plug in on several difrent host
machines, all of which I might not have access to or
privleges to set mime types.

Im not talking about anything spooky here, just a way to
play a music file in a browser.

Thanks,

David B.

If I could just get IE 6 to run the modplug it, it has all
the bells and whistles, and I wouldnt have to go through
the gui development.

Thanks for your replay.

1. That would mean that ever visitor would have to
install modplug in their system.
2. You will have to add the mime types to your server
configuration before the browser could "see"
the files.

Is there any reason you can't use a more standard format
such as midi, avi, etc...??

I understand that IE6 does not support some plugin
functionality that previous interations of IE did
support.

Specificaly, I am trying to use modplug to allow tracker
type music files
(.mod, .s3m, .it, .xm, .far, .ult, .669)
to be played via the browser.

I have found on the net, a supposed regfix to restore
that
lost functionality.

However I can't get it to work.

The regfix is this:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/x-
mod]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/x-
zipped-mod]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/it]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/x-
zipped-it]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/xm]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/x-
s3m]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/mod]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/669]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\audio/x-
669]
"CLSID" = "{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}"

Having said all that, is there a way to get IE6 to run
this "classic" or older style plugins?

Or am I gonna have to invent the wheel again if I want
to
do this?

Best regards,

David B.

Not yet, i'll try there, thanks for the idea.

 

[Andrew Murray]

Yeah, but the user might mind having to download it!

I don't mind users having to download the plugin. That's
how it use to work. It's not a large download.

An no, I can't use another format because these type files
are what I am trying to present.

Tracker files are kinda like midi files, but with the
sampes/instruments included in the file. That's one of
the reasons I think they are so neat. If you have the
song file, you have all the instruments as well, and can
use them in your own compositions.

I guess is just an each to his own kinda thing.

So if I understand correctly, your telling me the hang up
is on the Server computer that hosts the site? The mime
types have to be registered there?

I have a java implementation of a mod music file player,
but its crude and would need to be recoded as it is just a
command line consoul thingy.

If I could just get IE 6 to run the modplug it, it has all
the bells and whistles, and I wouldnt have to go through

sounds very complicated - more so than just clicking a link to a sound file -
that's probably why IE6 dropped that functionality to say nothing of whether
non-IE browsers have that "modfile" whatever-its-called stuff in it.

But why does IE 5.5 not require all me to fiddle with the
server machine?

The user installs the plugin, which puts a dll file in the
plugin folder, and problably registers the extension types.

And when they go to a site that use the plugin, up it pops.

They can also drag and drop a mod file onto the browser,
and it will load the plug in and being playing.

Why does IE6 not do this, can it be made to do it again as
IE5.5 did, how do I do this?

I'd rather not have to fiddle on the server machine, as I
might want to use the plug in on several difrent host
machines, all of which I might not have access to or
privleges to set mime types.

Im not talking about anything spooky here, just a way to
play a music file in a browser.

Thanks,

David B.

And yes, you will have to make sure the file extensions

are included in the "mime types" for the

server.
