+Q: Why does the browser plugin advertise itself as handling some file/stream types it can't handle? (e.g. why does it say it supports MP3 in the <tt>about:plugins</tt> when it doesn't?)<br/>
A: The problem is that the Mozilla/Gecko/Firefox plugin system doesn't allow for fine-grained advertising of those features.<br/>
For example, the Totem <i>GMP</i> plugin advertises itself as a Windows Media Player compatible-plugin. There is unfortunately no way to check whether all the necessary plugins are available to the media framework to play the stream before we try. For example, the installed plugins might only be able to play back a specific version of Windows Media Video. There is no way to advertise that fact using the current plugin system. There is also no way to know what will be <i>inside </i> the stream before we start playing it back.
