Could you check if the same problem exists in the 6.x series (it's hard masked at this moment)? (In reply to comment #1) > Could you check if the same problem exists in the 6.x series (it's hard masked > at this moment)? > I emerged www-client/chromium-6.0.466.0 Unfortunately it hasn't changed this problem - gecko-mediaplayer are still not picked up. I don't know if this is relevant, the plugins that are picked up correctly are all symbolic links out of /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins, the gecko-mediaplayer plugins are installed there. All four plugins with symbolic links are picked up correctly. ian2 ~ # ls -lh /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins total 480K -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95K Jun 27 16:45 gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95K Jun 27 16:45 gecko-mediaplayer-qt.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95K Jun 27 16:45 gecko-mediaplayer-rm.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95K Jun 27 16:45 gecko-mediaplayer.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95K Jun 27 16:45 gecko-mediaplayer-wmp.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 Apr 1 19:28 javaplugin.so -> //usr/share/java-config-2/nsplugin/sun-jdk-1.6-javaplugin.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Jun 24 18:15 libflashplayer.so -> /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Sep 13 2009 libmoonloader.so -> /usr/lib/moon/plugin/libmoonloader.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Jan 24 08:44 npPicasa3.so -> /opt/google/picasa/3.0/lib/npPicasa3.so Please see the previous bug and the linked upstream bug. By the way, thanks for some additional information, it seems we no longer need the blocker dependency in www-client/chromium so I've removed it. I've also updated the FAQ on Gentoo project page. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 309231 *** (In reply to comment #3) > Please see the previous bug and the linked upstream bug. > > By the way, thanks for some additional information, it seems we no longer need > the blocker dependency in www-client/chromium so I've removed it.

I have done that, and yet Chromium fails to pick up the plugins at all. Reports in #309231 say that the gecko plugins work - so they must be picking them up.

As for now gecko-mediaplayer is blacklisted by upstream. So the browser will never use it, and I'd rather not patch the code to do something else if USE="-gnome" because of decreased maintainability. I guess that when people say "it works" they mean that it doesn't hang the browser.
