X-mplayer2 - missing mime

Help! Almost every video that I click on on the internet pulls up the message; missing mime type - x-mplayer2 - no plug in available to play this format.
Can any of you nice people point me in the right direction to get a plug in that will play this format type?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Downgrading to version "20130428-1" solved the problem.
Anyone also encounter this? Is it a packaging issue? Thanks.

Sorry guys, I had a problem updating "extra" repo, and did a partial updates.
Re-sync the repository solved the issue, thanks.

MIME Objects not loaded, Script files from UR not provided to client

We observe diverse JavaScript Errors and missing MIME-Objects on our Clients when trying to start the Application.
We disabled compression for ICF-Service and for the Controllers, disabled HTTP/1.1. - no success.
We followed Hint 715598 and disabled GZIP-Compression for the whole System but the problems occur further.
Has anybody expierienced same behaviours? Is the problem to fix on client side or at WebAs? And of course how to fix ?????
We are on WebAS 6.40 SP 13.
Client-Browser: IE 5.5 SP2 and IE 6.0 SP1
Desparately,
Sebastian

It occurs at standard test applications like <i>SBSPEXT_HTMLB</i> and in my custom developed app. So its seeming to be a general problem.
By now we opened an error message @ SAP.

Web Dynpro image not found: The requested resource does not exist

Hi everybody,
I'm experiencing a strange Poltergeist, so I would like to cry out the issue and hope any kind sould could help me
In my WebDynpro application, I show a JPG picture which is located in the own project, that means in "src/mimes/Components/metromadrid.net.formacion.Cursos". The image appears correctly in my Development environment, but when the activity is moved to the Consolidation System (I'm using JDI), the image doesn't appear. If I try to access it directly, via URL, the messagen shown is "404 Not found: The requested resource does not exist.." (the URL accessed is http://hostname:port/webdynpro/resources/metromadrid.es/formacionapp/Components/metromadrid.net.formacion.Cursos/foto_vacia.jpg)
The point is that in the same Consolidation environment I have already some applications with images, which are found and loaded without any problem.
I have checked if the image appears in the corresponding active repository and everything seems alright (I mean I can see the file there).
Any idea? It would be really appreciated, since my time to solve the problem expires in few days...
Thank you very much in advance!!
Isidro Lopez

Hi Isidro,
your mime files were most probably not added to your NWDI activities when developing your Web Dynpro DC. This means when adding these mime files to the src/mimes/<comp package>.<Comp name> folder the Web Dynpro Tools have most probably not detected the new mime files. When testing your application on in your local development environment all images appear as they exist on your local file system. As missing mimes do not cause a CBS build failure you won't encounter a designtime error.
Please check whether the corresponding mimes are listed as 'local only' (house symbol) in your DTR perspective. In case they are listed as 'local only' you must explicitly add them to an activity.
I have also encountered this missing mime problem before but I have not started any investigation to really determine the reason for it.
Best regards, Bertram

Download data files from weblogic

I have weblogic 8.1 running on win2000. We use IIS running on the same machine
to proxy web requests to weblogic.
This setup works fine except when we place data files like word docs, xls and
msi files in a download directory for the user to access.
We have a HTML page that has href links to the files. When the link is clicked,
we want the file to be opened in an external application.
This does not seem to work.
If I go directly to the weblogic server (bypassing IIS) it works.
Any thoughts why this is not working?

Any thoughts why this is not working?You probably have a problem with mime-types. We had a similar experience with
the BEA Plugin for Apache:
WL, in its default configuration does not know about mime-types at all. So,
if you request e.g. a doc-file, WLS does not put any content-type in the
http-response. IE normally ignores that, looks at the file extension and
starts up Word - fine.
Unfortunatley, in our situation, the Apache (or the plugin) did set the
content-type, if there was none, and it was set to "text/html" by default.
If you now request a doc-file via the Apache, it comes with content-type
"text/html" and this confuses your browser.
Our solution was to add the missing mime-types in the web.xml of our
web-application:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/msword</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
Hope this helps!

OLE object Migration from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

Hello,
I used sql developer 3.1.07(oracle 11g) to perform data migration from MS ACESS.
the MS access data has a column with data type as "OLE object" ---there
saved a lot of pdf files .
Then I performed "copy to oracle" from MS access connection, the OLE data
changed to BLOB from oracle database, and data seems to be copied to
database as binary . However none of the data in the column can be opened. I
download the blob data to a file from sql developer and tried to open
using Adobe 8.1 with no success.
How can I fix this issue? or I should say, how can I migrate MS access OLE data to oracle?
Thanks,
H.M.

thx - will have a look

The original PDF content starts with:

But when I try to save the content in the BLOB as a file it claims about a missing mime extension and when I ignore this message and save the file anyway as a PDF the content is corrupted.
It shows as :

Did you also get the missing mime type error message?

Why does firefox 3.6.13 keep asking me what program to use to open torrent files when default is already set?

latest updates has done the same thing with all updates

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20file%20types#w_download-actions
'''When you click a link to download a file, the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Properly_Configuring_Server_MIME_Types#What_are_MIME_types.3F MIME type] determines what action Firefox will take.'''
Firefox doesn't go by the file extension like other browsers might. Wrong MIME type or a missing MIME type and Firefox will ask you what you want to do with the file.

Plug-in for Mime files for QuickTime missing.

I've been trying to view certain videos and listen to streaming music and sometimes it works (never that well) and other times it doesn't. I'm using QT not WM and when it works the videos don't play in the viewer. They usually download to the desktop and then have to be manually played. When it doesn't work I get a small blue box with a question mark and the following statement:
The page has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp.
I can't find the correct plug-in(s) on the website. What should I do?

Hi Jeronimo and welcome to the forums!
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5.2, but please see my footnote).
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, 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 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
The new RealPlayer Plus (v.11) is still in beta and therefore free, but works well on Tiger. It includes a download function, and you can get that here:
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
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/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
FOOTNOTE
If you are running Leopard:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

MIME header missing "filename=" results in BAD messages

I've been trying to track down several issues involving what appear to
be MIME handling issues. We are running GroupWise v7.01 (we have not
installed the "interim release" yet), and all components on the server
are at that release level (MTA, POA, GWIA, WebAccess).
One of the issues I am currently working on involves problems receiving
attachments from an outside sender. Their attachments are readable if
sent to an outside test account (i.e. - we've tested it with Yahoo
web-based mail, and a RoadRunner POP3 account using Outlook as the client).
The problem is that these e-mails either get dumped by the GWIA to the
GWPROB directory, or the e-mails go through, but the attachments are
corrupted (they do show up as attachments to the e-mail, but are
unreadable).
I haven't looked at why some e-mails go through and some don't, but I
did find out why the attachments are unreadable on the delivered
e-mails, and why the rest are just undeliverable. For whatever reason,
the sender's mail server (or AV gateway or whatever else had a chance to
touch the e-mail) is either not inserting, or is stripping out the
"filename=" from the MIME header just before the encoded attachment.
Adding this back into the message (by editing the original e-mail
w/header, and dropping the modified message into the GWIA "RECEIVE"
directory) fixes the attachment AND makes the e-mail deliverable.
Below I have an example of a bad e-mail which was originally sent to our
GWPROB directory, but was successfully delivered with a readable
attachment through a separate POP3 account (RoadRunner). Following this
"bad" e-mail example is the "fixed" version of that same e-mail, which
was delivered successfully to our user, with the attachment also being
readable.

************** END OF "FIXED" E-MAIL **************
The only change I made, which both allowed the above e-mail to be
delivered and made the attachment readable, was the addition of the
"filename=" just before the file name on the line after the
"Content-Disposition: attachment;".
I did the same test with an e-mail that had the same "filename="
missing, but somehow was successfully delivered to our user (again, the
attachment was unreadable). Adding the "filename=" into the resent
message did make the attachment readable.
I haven't looked to see if the sender's system is actually non-compliant
for excluding the "filename=" (I will be doing that later this evening),
or whether this is a GWIA problem for not being able to handle this. I
just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone else has seen this.
Does the "interim release" update by chance fix this?
Thanks,
Greg Niese

Does this email come in directly to GWIA (or do you have a relay host in
between)? I must say I've never experienced this problem on any of the GW
systems I administer. Could you tell us what domain this is coming from?

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.

Keep getting error, Plugin not installed MIME PlugIn application/x-mplayer2

many wb pages are not accessable, i keep getting this error messge?
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 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
Regards,
Peter

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.
