Description Elton Carvalho 2013-04-11 02:26:26 UTC
The browser plugin cannot be loaded in chromium, prompting the error
"Not implemented reached in bool webkit::npapi::WebPluginDelegateImpl::WindowedCreatePlugin() windowed plugin but without xembed. See http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=38229"

Referred chromium bug and related issues mention that "The plugin should advertise that it uses xembed." [
see https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=43941#c2 ]

Doesn't sound like LibreOffice issue...
Marking as RESOLVED INVALID.
Do not hesitate to reopen in case of mistriage.

According to the chromium bug linked in the report, the condition appears because the libreoffice browser plugin does not advertise that it uses xembed. Coding the plugin such that it advertises it uses a resource is a LibreOffice issue, no?

Or is the browser plugin independent of LibreOffice and I should report the bug somewhere else?

Seems Google decided to abandon NPAPI plugins in their browser - see http://blog.chromium.org/2013/09/saying-goodbye-to-our-old-friend-npapi.html.
So it is not our bug that the current plugin doesn't work in Chrome anymore.

Oh, good point.

So a feature-request bug asking to a Native messaging API ( http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/messaging#native-messaging ) plugin for example would be a better solution, I guess. I'll check if there's anything like that or submit one. 

Thanks.
