Bug Description

Hi,
Im using Freebsd 10 (Xfce) 64bit and try to install pipelight-flash in firefox.

I follow the instructions https://bugs.launchpad.net/pipelight/+bug/1213663 but it doesn't work for me.

The output of about:plugins
Pipelight Error (flash)!

    File: libpipelight-flash.so
    Path: /usr/local/lib/pipelight/libpipelight-flash.so
    Version: 0.0

    Something went wrong, check the terminal output

Any ideas to fix this error ?
Thanks.

Which version of pipelight do you have installed? (pipelight-plugin --version)

Pipelight 0.2.7.3

It's last version available in ports

Pipelight 0.2.7.3 is soon a year old. This version does no longer work as the embedded plugin urls are outdated and there is no way to use the update command any more. The PGP key which was used to sign the plugin database for Pipelight 0.2.7.3 expired in the mean time and you will need to update to a more recent Pipelight version. There are already plenty of other FreeBSD users running into the same problem because the version in ports is outdated.

You can either convince the maintainer of the ports package to update the package or compile pipelight on your own (http://pipelight.net/cms/install/compile-pipelight.html). If you use the prebuilt win32 binaries, you only need g++, libx11 and gmake to compile pipelight, which should be too difficult. Just make sure to download 0.2.8.1 (for the git versions there are no prebuilt binaries) and run "sudo pipelight-plugin --update" after installing Pipelight.

I try to compile pipelight folowing http://pipelight.net/cms/install/compile-pipelight.html but i don't succeed. I assume i had to install also wine-compholio ?
In ports i have i386-wine-compholio and wine-compholio : what package i must install ?

You speak also about the prebuilt win32 binaries but i don't understand what you mean.

Im apologize for this questions, im a french newbie.

Thanks

Over a year later. Make it two reported with the issue for this bug report.
I'm having the same issue with Pipelight.

Distro:
Linux HTPC 3.16.0-73-generic #95~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 9 08:00:04 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
FireFox:v 47.0 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu Canonical -1.0

The output of about:plugins
Pipelight Error (flash)!

I have been through uninstalling Adobe Flash and various other steps to get Widevine and Silverlight working, well at least running in the Add-Ons. Also I have a plug in called User Agent Overrider to fake HBOGo to think I am running Firefox in windows.
All this mess is due to a DRM issue with HBOgo showing a black screen.
I am going to reinstall Adobe Flash for Linux again for now for other video streaming.
Hopefully we can get this issue fixed.

Thanks

A quick update...

I just did a forced update, " sudo apt-get --reinstall install pipelight " and now Pipelight is not showing in the add-ons.
