ffi Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Just tell wether or not you manage to install the mplayer plugin. BTW, which browser are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonebags Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Just tell wether or not you manage to install the mplayer plugin. BTW, which browser are you using? still installing urpmi, im using mozilla firefox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) Erm, urpmi should already be installed, do you mean setting up the sources? You can use the following link, just follow the instructions: http://www.mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php edit: be sure to tick: Use compressed index, much smaller than normal, with less informations as this will save an about 100MB download each time you check your sources.

ffi Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) urpmi mplayerplugin from a terminal as root should do the trick for installing everything you need, except maybe the codecs... urpmi xine-win32 win32-codecs avifile-win32 for the codecs Edited May 30, 2006 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I've never installed avifile-win32. Only xine-win32 and win32-codecs. Oh, and mplayerplugin for the browser to play movies in webpages. I'd be interested to know what's in avifile-win32 though, so might have to check this out :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
