MIDI Plugin for Pale Moon on Linux

[infojr1]

Hi,

I'm trying to get embedded MIDI files to play on Pale Moon on Debian 12 (x64) without much luck. On Windows I used the QuickTime or Windows Media Player plugins.
Those don't exist here, and I tried to get the VLC Brower Plugin working, so I installed this (https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/18.04/ubuntu-un ... 4.deb.html) (which I think might be an older version, but I got errors when trying to build the latest one) and it doesn't seem to have MIDI between it's supported MIME types. Is there an alternative?

If it's because I'm not using the latest version of the VLC plugin, this is the output I get when trying to run ./autogen.sh.

Code: Select all

+ autoreconf -sfi
configure.ac:42: warning: The macro `AC_PROG_CC_C99' is obsolete.
configure.ac:42: You should run autoupdate.

Thanks for the help

As an alternative, maybe something like this, https://surikov.github.io/webaudiofont/ ?

Yes, but, doesn't that have to be implemented server-side? I wanted to access existing webpages. With Firefox I use this https://addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/addon/midi-player/, which can also be connected to Timidity, but can't find an NPAPI extension to do this.

It has been many years since I had it setup, but as I recall I had Timidity working via mozplugger.
The mozplugger.so file was installed along this path >> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mozplugger.so
I had to edit the /etc/mozpluggerrc.d/61-audio.conf file to get it working.

You can get the plugin here:

If you are using an old version of VLC, this may be why it isn't working for you:

Windows binary builds included MIDI support only in versions VLC media player from 1.1.0 through 2.0.8. Starting from version 2.1.0, support was dropped due to security issues. It was re-activated in VLC 3.0.0.

https://wiki.videolan.org/Midi/

That specifically talks about Windows binaries. Not sure what they did with Linux. Further down on the page they do get into installing the correct codec, which you may find useful.

BTW, your link is 404.
