opera fails to load the libvlcplugin.so located in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins since it can't find the libxul.so and the libxpcom.so libs located in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9. xulrunner is pulled by the vlc with the nsplugin USE flag set. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install vlc with USE nsplugin 2. start opera with --debugplugin Actual Results: failed to load libvlcplugin.so Expected Results: libvlcplugin.so present as plugin and ready to use used the opera 9.62 version. however, this plugin isn't loaded with konqueror either.

Well, generally I might be able to help, but Opera specifically doesn't do anything that konqueror's or mozilla's NS plugin API wouldn't. It would really help if the reporter posted the output of ldd /usr/lib*/nsbrowser/plugins/libvlcplugin.so

Vadim, what version of xulrunner-1.9 are you using?
i'm using xulrunner 1.9.0.4-r1. so your libxul.so is getting picked up by libvlcplugin.so? the only thing which is missing is the directory where libxul.so is located not being in the LD_PATH, isn't it?

I don't see any reference to libxul.so on their plugin. Although i think they use xul-1.8...
The vlc plugin cannot be loaded by mozilla-firefox-2 as well: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libvlcplugin.so [libxul.so: Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden] (means "file not found".) Versions: www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.19 media-video/vlc-0.9.8a net-libs/xulrunner-1.8.1.19 net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.0.5 yelp still requires xulrunner 1.8: $ equery d xulrunner ... gnome-extra/yelp-2.22.1-r2 (xulrunner? =net-libs/xulrunner-1.8*) ...
A work around for me currently is to add /usr/lib/xulrunner to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /usr/bin/firefox: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"} Interesting enough, the vlc plugin seems to be compiled against xulrunner-1.8 (although 1.9 was installed when vlc was compiled), as putting /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9 leads to undefined symbols: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libvlcplugin.so [/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/libxul.so: undefined symbol: js_CallClass]
So the plugin can be loaded, but it doesn't work ("No running windows found"). As it seems, a xulrunner based plugin requires a xulrunner based browser.
~media-video/vlc-0.9.6 is no longer in tree. Is this reproductible in any way with recent vlc/opera setup ?

works here with vlc-1.1.0 and opera-10.11. though, i have no controls (play, pause, etc.)
