Mplayer plugin in Mozilla 1.3


mdg

Recommended Posts

I recently installed Mozilla 3.1, but I can't view videos (Quicktime, Realplayer).

 

In "About Plugins" in the Help section of Mozilla, the mplayer-plugin v0.60 is listed as installed, but if I try to view a video, I'm told I need to install the plugin

 

I installed Mozilla with the tar.gz from their site as per the accompanying readme file

 

How do I make Mozilla aware of the plugin?

Hmmm, don't know for sure, since I shelled out for Crossover. I'd recommend that you go to the Netscape plugin area and download "Plugger" (I'm not using Mdk, it might be on one of your CDs, actually). It's very useful for defining what is to be done with most standard mime-types.

 

One of the problems is that the same program will use a multitude of mimetypes... you might enter eight of them, and then right off, you'll find a ninth.

 

Anyway, can MPlayer play recent realplayer videos? I know it used to only be able to play older files. I have a recent version, just haven't tried, since I have realplayer installed.
