Bug 127502 – mplayerplug-in "Can't set a parent on widget which has a parent"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE

[Description Ashton Trey Belew 2006-03-24 21:15:48 UTC]

Greetings,
  Please excuse me if this is the incorrect place to file this, but mplayerplug-in appears to work on a very similar Debian system.  If I go to a site with media (http://www.apple.com/trailers/ for example), mplayerplug-in will either a) attempt to play the .jpg as a media file and fail or b) dutifully download the trailer and then pop up the text 'stopped.'  
  I have not yet found anything in the debug logs to explain problem 'a.'
  However, if I copy the url and run 'mplayer <url>' then an actual trailer will play every time.  So I did some poking around and found the following error when mplayerplug-in attempts to start playing:

(Gecko:30695): Gtk-WARNING **: Can't set a parent on widget which has a parent

As a result I recompiled mplayerplug-in with gtk disabled.  It now works (thus solving problem 'b') but no longer has the additional gtk-based functionality.  Changing the flags for gecko-sdk does not appear to solve the problem, nor does changing the gtk1 vs gtk2 flags.  I will continue poking around, but I thought it would be useful to pass this to people who have a greater clue than myself.
