Safari and MIME type "application/x-mplayer2"

When trying to listen to web pages conatining mp3 audio files (prior to purchasing them) , Safari comes up with a message saying that MIME type “application/x-mplayer2” is not installed and only downloads the html file and not the mp3 file. When we check on our installed plug-ins in Safari, MIME type “application/x-mplayer2” has been installed.
How do we fix this? We are using Safari Version 2.0.2 (416.12) OSX 10.4.3. It works on one of our older machines running Safari Version 1.3.1 (v312.3.3) OSX 10.3.9

Nevermind. I answered my own question. Seek and you shall find. http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html I just had to DL the WMV plug in. All better.

MIME type application/x-mplayer2

One URL I visit pops up a warning that I don't have a "MIME type 'application/x-mplayer2' plug-in installed, so I can't use certain portions of the site. Where can I find such a plug-in? Is it a popular plug-in that is used by other sites?

I've never come across this plugin before - doubt it's widely used - but it might refer to MPlayer OS X, MPlayer Plug-in or Windows Media, I'm not sure. Try out MPlayer Plug-in first.

Error Message- JTV has content of MIME type "application/x-mplayer2."

Because you don't have a plug in installed for this type of Mime this content can't be displayed.
Where do I go to get this plug in so I can view content that I'm needing to view?
Thanks!

MIME type "application/x-mplayer2", but you don't have a plug-in installed.

I went to http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/ and installed Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X, but it still doesn't work.
All I want to do is listen to Sirius online... Thank you!!!

Download and install the Flip4Mac Windows Media Plugin 2.2. It replace WMP and is available at http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm

The page “Coastalwatch :: surfcams :: surf reports :: swell forecasts :: news” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
Wher do i get this plug-in from? Or is it as simple as changing a setting on the system?

Hi Percy and welcome to the forums!
Wher do i get this plug-in from? Or is it as simple as changing a setting on the system?
Probably a bit of both. Try this:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Safari can't play application/x-mplayer2 sounds

I use Safari to visit websites that run Nagios, a network management system. When something
is wrong, Nagios displays web pages that have an imbedded object that's of MIME type
"application/x-mplayer2". Safari displays a pop-up that says
Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in.
The page "Nagios" has a content of MIME type
"application/x-mplayer2". Because you don't have a
plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content
can't be displayed.
I can navigate directly to file .wav file and Safari (QuickTime?) plays the sound. I think
I need to get "application/x-mplayer2" added to the list of MIME types that the QuickTime
plug-in handles. Is there a way to do that?
I know that QuickTime has a System Preferences pane, with an "Advanced" tab with a
"MIME Settings" button. That doesn't help - it controls MIME types that QuickTime supports,
not the MIME types that the QuickTime plug-in supports.
Also, I had Window Media Player installed, but it gave "One or more arguments are not valid".

Try this:

Content of MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash"

Hey, im not that advanced with this stuff but I keep on getting this message recently and I cannot remember any recent major downloads/updates:
This page has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type.
This happens on Youtube, facebook and stuff like that. Also, Ive noticed that apple trailers using quicktime isnt working. I have installed the new plugins for flashplayer and Quicktime but still no result.
Any help PLEASE? I hate using firefox coz i love safari!
Cheers!

Have you by any chance moved Safari from its proper place in the Applications Folder to a sub-folder, or renamed it?
Try this routine:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/postscript.

Hi,
we are running framed web pages showing preview (PNG or JPEG) of postscript files. These previews are simply linked to the postscript files. Following this links one gets the postscript source shown and not the graphics!? The error console says:
Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/postscript.
When one chooses to:
Open link in new tab
the postscript is correctly shown!
The rough layout of the pages is:
Start page:
and frame2.htm (frame1.htm is not of importance):
When one sets the target to open up a new page the postscript is shown correctly, but we want the postscript to be shown in the 'content' frame!
If I remember correctly, did this work as wanted in the past and changed the behavior the last year. We experience this behavior in snow leopard and lion (all running the up to date Safari - and yes we are upgrading constantly).
Any help to get the wanted behavior (back), would be very appreciated!!
Cheers,
Raimund

same thing for me, anyone have any info on this?

How to get at a mail of MIME type application/vnd.ms-excel?

My java proggie has to deal with an email sent with Outlook '97 (don't ask me why it has to be that) and this email has the following header fields (see below). Now, my program works fine if the email has MIME type multipart/mixed. So, how do I have to do to handle an email of MIME type application/vnd.ms-excel (outline of logic or even some code snippet will be greatly appreciated)?

Depends on what you want to do with it.
If you want to access the data in the Excel spreadsheet
and make sense of it, you're going to need some
Java classes to interpret an Excel spreadsheet.
Good luck on that. :-)
If you just want to save the content in a file, as if it
were an attachment, use msg.getInputStream()
and copy the data to a file, like this:
        OutputStream out = null;
        InputStream in = null;
        try {
            out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
            in = msg.getInputStream();
            byte[] buf = new byte[8192];
            int len;
            while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0)
                out.write(buf, 0, len);
        } finally {
            // close streams, but don't mask original exception, if any
            try {
                if (in != null)
                    in.close();
            } catch (IOException ex) { }
            try {
                if (out != null)
                    out.close();
            } catch (IOException ex) { }
        }

Trouble shooting- MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash"

I am experincing a problem with watching youtube videos. This problem is exactly like Subtitlemewrong's problem which stated...
"I received only the December '07 update of Quicktime (7.4) and Security Update (2007-009 1.1). That's it. And then my life went to shambles and flash content no longer displays on the web!"...
"A website with flash content won't load, instead I get a block icon with a question mark and a message saying, "The page "Page Title X" has content of MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash". Because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, the content can't be displayed." Sometimes I get directed to the Adobe site for Flash, which I'll download. But that doesn't do anything either."
I tried the solution that was given by Klaus1 and it didn't work. I uninstalled using http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
Then I tried to install using http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash. I clicked on powerpc -based mac and started to install and recieved taht same message that I didn't have the plug-in installed this MIME type.
Thanks for you help.

Yeah, I already tried it under a different account. Unfortunately the new account had the same problem. I appreciate the suggestion. My only logical guess is that the new update to quicktime doesn't mix with 10.3 Panther. I am planning on upgrading to Leopard next week after I get my paycheck. Who knows, maybe those guys will know how to fix it, but so far...no luck. Thanks.

Trying to embed a video file in HTML5: ERROR=No video with supported format and MIME type found?

Hello all!
I am desparate for a solution. I am testing my site on Firefox and Explorer and still no sign of a functional video yet.
Firefox: I get the error: No video with supported format and MIME type found.
Explorer: I just get a distorted layout.
Here is the code I am working on:
<table id="Table_01" width="480" height="801" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
        <td colspan="6">
            <img src="images/Video_01.jpg" width="480" height="114" alt=""></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td rowspan="3">
            <img src="images/Video_02.jpg" width="52" height="486" alt=""></td>
        <td colspan="4">
           <video controls width="376" height="221">
             <source src="C:\Users\aalmeida\Videos\AEMC PEL 103 6 Channel, Power & Energy Logger - with Display (Part 1).mp4" type="Video/Mp4"/>
             <source src="C:\Users\aalmeida\Videos\AEMC PEL 103 6 Channel, Power & Energy Logger - with Display (Part 1).webm" type="Video/WebM"/>
             <source src="C:\Users\aalmeida\Videos\AEMC PEL 103 6 Channel, Power & Energy Logger - with Display (Part 1).oggtheora.ogv" type="Video/Ogg"/>
             </video>
Please tell me that there is something missing in the code. I have spent a lot of time uninstalling-updating Firefox plugins, added MIME types in the Internet Information Manager (I'm on Windows 7)
and seriuously hit a dead end with this!
Any advice would be muchly appreciated!!!
Thanks
~LA

As Jon said, you must declare the page as HTML5.
And your server may not be set up to deliver video as a binary file if it is an .OGG file. I have not seen this problem with .MP4 or .M4V in the past, but every server is a little different.
To add a MIME type, you need to change your .htaccess file on an Apache server thusly:
AddType audio/ogg .oga
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType application/ogg .ogg
AddHandler application-ogg .ogg .ogv .oga
Additionally, MIME types can usually be changed on a server's Control Panel. One can also ask one's hosting provider to do this as well.
Firefox makes it necessary to use OGG files. Webkit-based browsers will deal with .M4V or .MP4 and I understand Internet Exploder will work with the latter two as well.

How To Get FileType and MIME Type from a File

Hi,
I am using following ways to get FileType and MIME Type.
I am able to get file type, but I am getting MIME Type as */*
Can any one please let me know how to get MIME Type, but it should not be time consuming process.
For File Type I am using following Code:
private String getFileData(InputStream inStream) {
fileName = C:\temp\temp.tiff
String filePath = Util.createTempFile(fileName);
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(filePath, "rw");
while (inStream.available() > 0) {
     byte[] buf = new byte[inStream.available()];
     inStream.read(buf);
     raf.write(buf);
inStream.close();
raf.close();
File file = new File(filePath);
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
String fileType = chooser.getTypeDescription(file);
file.delete();
//MIME Type I am getting from
DataHandler data = new DataHandler(new DocumentSource(inStream));
data.getContentType();
data.getContentType() is not working well in all cases.
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Ram.

data.getContentType() is not working well in all cases.That's because there's no way to get MIME type of all files on all filesystems.

Image size and mime type.. non-java guy needs help

Image size, mime type.. non-java guy needs help
Im not at all familiar with java so this is really weird for me to work out. I?ve been doing it all day (and half of yesterday).
Im trying to write a custom clodFusion tag in java that gets the width, height, size and MIME types of a given file. I?ve been trying to get it to work on the command line first. I can get the width and height but cant get the size and the MIME type.
Here is what I got
/*import com.allaire.cfx.*;*/
import java.awt.image.renderable.*;
import javax.media.jai.*;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ImageInfo {
private RenderedOp image = null;
private RenderedOp result = null;
private int height = 0;
private int width = 0;
private String type = "";
private String size = "";
public void loadf(String file) throws IOException
file = "80by80.jpg";
FileSeekableStream fss = new FileSeekableStream(file);
image = JAI.create("stream", fss);
height = image.getHeight();
width = image.getWidth();
System.out.println(height + "\n");
System.out.println(width);
System.out.println(type);
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
ImageInfo test = new ImageInfo();
test.loadf(args[0]);
can anyone please help me out to modify the above so I can also print the mime type and the file size to screen.
thanks for any help

any suggestions?

Hi
This is sample code need to be declared in the OnInputProcessing an event for an ID:
data:
w_event type ref to cl_htmlb_event,
w_obj type ref to object,
w_mod type ref to cl_htmlb_inputfield,
w_module type string.
data:
   tv type ref to cl_htmlb_tableview,
   tv_data type ref to cl_htmlb_event_tableview.
call method cl_htmlb_manager=>get_event
exporting
    request = runtime->server->request
receiving
    event   = w_event.
case w_event->id.
when 'open'.
    call method cl_htmlb_manager=>get_data
      exporting
        request = runtime->server->request
        name    = 'inputfield'
        id      = 'module'
      receiving
        data    = w_obj.
       w_mod ?= w_obj.
       w_module = w_mod->value.
endcase.
'open' this open you need to declare in HTMLB Button Tag with Option ID...in this way as soon as you click the Button OPEN the Event will be triggered
