Is an update to Hikvision plugin to Web Components 3.0.5.43 possible?

Asked by Grinch

I installed Pipelight & Hikvision plugin ok in Firefox running on Mint 17.3 for a new Hikvision cctv installation. Firefox shows Web Components 3.0.4.6 installed in plugins. However when loading Hiks NVR browser interface a popup states a new version of plugin is available, and it will not play live/recorded video. I assume that it is looking for Web Components 3.0.5.43 as this is listed on the Hikvision data tab and is the version Hik installed on another machine running Windows 10/Firefox which works. Is an update possible?

Estimado yo lo actualize así... en Suse Leap... el procedimiento deberia ser similar...

Abrir Firefox y verificar la version instalada en plugins (anotar el nro de la version).

Conseguir el plugin... WebComponents.exe del nvr, camara o desde el sitio hikvision (versión más reciente...)... talvez desde un windows (cuando se descarga para instalar)...

Instalar con Wine... hasta que de un mensaje de error que no puede registrar el OCX/DLL.... Darle en Ignorar la instalación...

Verificar tener cerrado Firefox...

Hacer una busqueda del archivo npWebVideoPlugin.dll en el equipo.

find / -name npWebVideoPlugin.dll

Va a devolver por lo menos2 directorios... uno donde esta el plugin para ser usado con pipelight.. y el directorio donde esta el plugin nuevo instalado con wine (que no deberia estar siendo usado).

Ir al directorio donde esta el plugin para ser usado con pipelight... (en mi caso)

/home/usuario/.wine-pipelight/drive_c/Program Files/Web Components/

Hacer un respaldo del contenido... mv *.* ...

Ir al directorio donde esta instalado el plugin con wine... (en mi caso)

/home/usuario/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Web Components/

cp -p *.* al directorio donde va el plugin para ser usado con pipelight

cp -p *.* "/home/usuario/.wine-pipelight/drive_c/Program Files/Web Components/" (en mi caso)

sudo pipelight-plugin --update

sudo pipelight-plugin --create-mozilla-plugins

Abrir Firefox y probar, en plugins se puede verificar la version instalada.

Espero le sirva... más alla que desde la version 52 de firefox pronta a salir en marzo... aparentemente deberia dejar de funcionar :(

Disculpe que no lo traduje al ingles... puede usar google translator

Saludos
