aioshin Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) the problem: 1. when trying to watch CNN Video, I can hear the sound, but no video, all that I can see is the gray portion after buffering, what could be wrong on this? see attached image below cnn-sample.png 2. I can play apple.com trailers but in the middle of the action, it just stop, or sometimes the browser just shutdown without warning. the browsers I used are mozilla 1.76 and firefox 1.0.7, though it shows that the needed plugins were installed already(see attached image2.png) , and also, when testing the plugin with mplayer plugger testing ground, I was able to see those video clips on their site... on my previous mdk10.1.. I'd never got this problem, mine now is LE2005, and manually compiled the mplayerplugin... any ideas to solve this? TIA Edited November 15, 2005 by aioshin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aomighty Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Right-click anywhere on the video and choose Configure. Where you see vo, try changing it to x11, or, if it's on x11, change to xv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 tried what you have said but did'nt see any configure option.... also when trying to open a quicktime/apple trailer, it kills the browser again.. I'll try to recompile it again tommorow and try thus other options available... I still dont know how come it happen, it did'nt occur on my box on 10.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aomighty Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hmm... I'm using a self-compiled version, so maybe only the newest has the Configure option. Did you use a version from urpmi or compiled? The other thing you can try is editing your .mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf and where you see the "vo" line, change from x11 to xv, or vice versa.

aioshin Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 (edited) ohhh.... I dont know what anymore options to try I have tried different versions of mplayerplugin, currently am using 3.00 instead of using the latest which is 3.15 ( I used 3.15 but it will crash the borwser when viewing quicktime movie, that's why am trying lower version)), right now I can finish viewing a quicktime movie trailer from apple, but watching CNN is still a problem, it wont load the video images, all that I can see is only gray color.. ahh, what should I do about it? I boot my 10.1, found out that I have 2.85 ver. of mplayerplugin, ( I never had a problem with it) so I also tried the said version on 2005 but no luck.... I tried gtk1 and gtk 2 but same results. I tried also the suggestions of aomighty but still no fix.. What else should I have to do? here's my current browser plugin QuickTime Plug-in 6.0 File name: mplayerplug-in-qt.so mplayerplug-in 3.00 Video Player Plug-in for QuickTime, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player streams using MPlayer JavaScript Enabled and Using GTK2 Widgets MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled video/quicktime Quicktime mov Yes video/x-quicktime Quicktime mov Yes image/x-quicktime Quicktime mov Yes video/quicktime Quicktime mp4 Yes video/quicktime Quicktime - Session Description Protocol sdp Yes application/x-quicktimeplayer Quicktime mov Yes application/smil SMIL smil Yes Windows Media Player Plugin File name: mplayerplug-in-wmp.so mplayerplug-in 3.00 Video Player Plug-in for QuickTime, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player streams using MPlayer JavaScript Enabled and Using GTK2 Widgets MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/asx Media Files * Yes video/x-ms-asf-plugin Media Files * Yes video/x-msvideo AVI avi,* Yes video/msvideo AVI avi,* Yes application/x-mplayer2 Media Files * Yes application/x-ms-wmv Microsoft WMV video wmv,* Yes video/x-ms-asf Media Files asf,asx,* Yes video/x-ms-wm Media Files wm,* Yes video/x-ms-wmv Microsoft WMV video wmv,* Yes video/x-ms-wmp Windows Media wmp,* Yes video/x-ms-wvx Windows Media wvx,* Yes audio/x-ms-wax Windows Media wax,* Yes audio/x-ms-wma Windows Media wma,* Yes application/x-drm-v2 Windows Media asx,* Yes audio/wav Microsoft wave file wav,* Yes audio/x-wav Microsoft wave file wav,* Yes mplayerplug-in 3.00 File name: mplayerplug-in.so mplayerplug-in 3.00 Video Player Plug-in for QuickTime, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player streams using MPlayer JavaScript Enabled and Using GTK2 Widgets MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled video/mpeg MPEG mpg,mpeg Yes audio/mpeg MPEG mpg,mpeg Yes video/x-mpeg MPEG mpg,mpeg Yes video/x-mpeg2 MPEG2 mpv2,mp2ve Yes audio/mpeg MPEG mpg,mpeg Yes audio/x-mpeg MPEG mpg,mpeg Yes audio/mpeg2 MPEG audio mp2 Yes audio/x-mpeg2 MPEG audio mp2 Yes audio/mpeg3 MPEG audio mp3 Yes audio/x-mpeg3 MPEG audio mp3 Yes audio/mp3 MPEG audio mp3 Yes video/mp4 MPEG 4 Video mp4 Yes application/x-ogg Ogg Vorbis Media ogg Yes audio/ogg Ogg Vorbis Audio ogg Yes application/ogg Ogg Vorbis / Ogg Theora ogg Yes video/fli FLI animation fli,flc Yes video/x-fli FLI animation fli,flc Yes video/vnd.vivo VivoActive viv,vivo Yes application/x-nsv-vp3-mp3 Nullsoft Streaming Video nsv Yes what about on 2006, how's ur viewing on video using firefox? or any browser?
