Just upgraded the plugin to 0.9.18. Did the ’register your blog as Flattr app’ thingy and got my key and secret.

After filling in the corresponding Flattr-RSS settings, clicking on ’Save’ results in: ”You do not have sufficient permissions to modify unregistered settings for this site.” Thus, I cannot save the key and secret.

Universal Subtitles is a subtitling service, which works with existing video resources such as YouTube. They use custom embedding code for rendering the subtitles on top of the video, and as such, the plain YouTube embedding feature in Viper’s Video Quicktags won’t show the subtitles. It’d be nice if VVQ could support embedding videos through Universal Subtitles, with the added accessibility that having subtitles on video brings to viewers.

It’s probably not a simple task, as Universal Subtitles isn’t limited to just YouTube, but even having just subtitled YT for starters would be great.

On the one hand this has nothing to do with the new (built-in) player

You’re right, I misinterpreted the mention of Ogg streams in the opening post. Sorry about that.

I always used VLC as external player together with the Ogg stream and since they are delivered by OxyRadio things just work like a charm. There is no problem to skip to any position in a song.

In VLC they indeed seem to be seekable. I’ve been using Totem until now, and with it the latest changes really did make the streams unseekable there. So something has changed, but it affects seekability depending on the app’s support for it. Apparently Totem’s streaming support is more limited than VLC’s.

It seems the Ogg streams (m3u, xspf) are no longer seekable, i.e. it isn’t possible to skip forward or backward in playing time. This makes it somewhat cumbersome to quickly get a feel for new tracks, to know which albums are worth downloading. I’ve switched to MP3 streaming for the time being, since they are still seekable, but I hope that seeking returns to Ogg streams as well at some point, as I otherwise prefer them.

If you want to entirely switch back to the previous behavior, try set hidemenubar.floating = false.

That did it, excellent! Thanks for the rapid response and working solution.

With version 4.0.20101005 (in Ubuntu 10.04) there’s a black horizontal bar in place of the menu, whereas with the previous version there was none. I see all these hidemenubar.* options in config, can one of them be used to hide that ugly black bar entirely? I have no use for the hovering functionality, because I use a Personal Menu (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3895/#) button for bringing up the menus.

Great. If there’s anything more you need to know about my setup, I’ll be happy to provide.

I marked the answer above as unhelpful, because the issue raised in the title of the question went unanswered by it: English not showing up in the preferences, i.e. the language selection dropdown menu didn’t have English. I was able to fix this by unselecting Google and Google Services from HTTPS Everywhere’s settings, but then again wasn’t able to reproduce it after re-enabling them, so I’m still not sure whether HTTPS Everywhere was the root cause.

The plugin produces `img` tags without `alt` attributes. This makes sites using the plugin invalid in the eyes of validators. It’s quite easy to repair in the code, so I suggest this fix be included for the next revision of the plugin.

I’m running a multiple blogs setup under one domain. I’m the administrator of my site, and in addition I have one lesser user account for managing blogs other than the site root. I’ve installed the Flattr plugin, but I’ve only been able to make it fully work on the first blog I activated it in (under my non-admin account). In others, the ”Connect” link on the plugin’s options page does nothing: it seemingly just reloads the options page. That is, the connection is never made (it just says ”None”).

I tried disabling the plugin in the blog it does work in, but that didn’t help. I also tried different combinations of disabling/enabling the plugin in different blogs, using my administrator account, but it didn’t make a difference either. I also tried the Network activate option, to no avail. So I’m starting to suspect there’s some kind of a flaw in the plugin’s support for multiple blogs.

So, how can I connect my Flattr id to the rest of my blogs?
