Ironfighter Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 I have lost the ability to watch video streams on my KDE desktop. ¨About:plugins¨ appears to show all the correct plugins as being installed (see below). The strange thing is they will run from any browser if I switch to a Gnome desktop. Any suggestions? (apart from if it works don´t fix it) :D Installed plug-ins Find more information about browser plug-ins at Netscape.com. Help for installing plug-ins is available from plugindoc.mozdev.org.

Ironfighter Posted December 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 If it works, don't fix it. Just kidding . What browser are you using? Firefox? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like your sense of humour! :D . Actually it was working'(see my previous posts) but I fixed it - just don´t know how. I am using Mozilla 1.7.2 and Konqueror 3.2.3 (using KDE 3.2.3). I think the problem started either when I installed Xine and MPlayer to try to get an AVI file to run. I suspect this is a KDE issue because both browsers will run a video stream if I switch to a Gnome desktop at log on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aomighty Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 That really is very odd... anyone have ideas? I guess try reinstalling all your plugins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironfighter Posted December 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 That really is very odd... anyone have ideas? I guess try reinstalling all your plugins. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I fixed it by uninstalling XIne through the Mandrake control centre. I searched for Xine and removed only the packages that didn´t appear to have any ¨none xine¨ dependencies. Wnen I had done this I found I could play AVI and WMV files through Mplayer - good - that is what started all this! But still no streaming video so I downloaded and installed Firefox to see if this made any difference - no :D. So i uninstalled Real Player and re installed it using RealPlayer10Gold.rpm. (which I had done previously - twice) and voila I can now watch the RAM files from the BBC once again! One strange side effect - although I am in KDE the appearance of my desktop has changed to look like the default Gnome desktop. Hope this helps someone I love those smily thingies!!
