ralph1976 Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 i use konqueror for webbrowsing since the fonts are much better on a tft than mozillas. i also installed kmplayer and mplayer to watch quicktime movies on the web (e.g. quicktime.com) but i get nothing but a black movie window in the browser and it doesn't start to play... any ideas how i can change this?

neutro Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Install mplayer with the win32 codecs (on Mandrake, use the PLF packages, they work great). Then install mplayerplug-in. I guess there's a PLF package for that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph1976 Posted February 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 i installed mplayer plf, win32codecs plf and the plugin. when i go to a quicktime site now, i get a grey windows and for a brief moment i writes mplayer-plugin the to left corner, but the window where the movie should be stays grey and nothing more happens...

neutro Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 On some sites, it seems that the plugin is unable to retrieve the movie. On most sites it works right. I'm not sure whose fault it is; then again, if you can't retrieve the movie and you got its URL, you can simply use "mplayer the_url" in a terminal.

!nkubus Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Yeah ive installed the last mplayer plugin but it loads the movie i can hear sound but my screen is bleu :( any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph1976 Posted February 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 @!nkubus: which version is it? mine is mplayerplugin-0.80-1mdk and the codec is win32-codecs-1.4-2plf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutro Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 For my part I use mplayer1.0-1.0-0.pre1.2plf (not the latest methinks) with mplayerplug-in 1.2 (compiled) with win32-codecs-1.3-1plf. As I said sometimes sites seem to not handle the stream nicely to the plugin (playing the streams directly in mplayer always works). You could post the URL if you want us to confirm the problem.
