"Media Plugin Failed"

[Keep Regent]

A few days ago, when loging in using viewer 2, the following message is displayed.  "The following Media Plugin has failed ..Media_plugin_webkit.  What has happened? .. If this is due to a bug in a recently distributed auto-update..please point me to a revious version of V2.  It suggests I reinstall this plugin .l.l but I have no clue on how to do this.

Thanks

Take a look at this Jira issue and see if any of the advice there helps:

Try changing your "User Account Control Settings" to "Never Notify" about changes made to my computer - For some reason this has been known to solve that problem (in Windows 7).

If you still want to go back to an earlier viewer you can download 2.6.6 or 2.6.8 from https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Supported_Viewers

Hello Keep. You can find the .exe file in your hard disk. C:\Program Files\SecondLifeViewer2\slplugin.exe

Try right click on it --> Properties --> Compatibility and set it to run for  in compatibily for Windows 95.

If that doesnt work for you, another solution described at the following link:

"I added slplugin.exe to my Windows Firewall and told my anti-virus it is an exception. I checked my computer for older versions of slplugin.exe and replaced all the older versions with a copy of the latest. I rebooted the computer after the changes. After the restart the SL2.0 Beta viewer started without the error.

For now that appears to be the solution".
