lawsonrc Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi everyone, I have installed the mplayerplugin properly using the urpmi command. It installed completely into FirefoxWindows Media Player Plugin. The problem is that no matter the website, when I click on a video that requires Windows Media Player, it says: mplayer plugin embedded video player for mozilla playing mms://.......... Even though it says that it is playing, there is no video screen and no video playing. Here is what I have in About:Plugins: File name: mplayerplug-in-wmp.so mplayerplug-in 3.25 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 audio/x-ms-wmv Windows Media 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 Thanks in advance for any help.

daniewicz Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Do you have both of these files: mplayerplug-in.xpt mplayerplug-in.so Does mplayer work by itself outside of firefox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsonrc Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Thanks daniewicz..... The two files are inside my usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder. Yes, mplayer does work freestanding outside of firefox. Sorry it took so long for me to answer you. I appreciate your input and help.

SilverSurfer60 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 You need those two files in your .mozilla/plugins folder in your home folder. Note the folder is hidden. Happy New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsonrc Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thanks SilverSurfer60. I put them in the .mozilla/plugins folder; however, it made no difference, except that now I have the plugins in Firefox 2.0 now. Both Firefox 1.5.x and Firefox 2.0 will freeze up after the mplayerplugin has shown that the download for the video is complete and ready to play. Since the video won't play, I have to do a CTRL + ALT +ESC to terminate either Firefox. I'm thinking of taking the mozplugger plugin out to see if it is conflicting with the mplayer-plugin for .wmv files. I also plan to take out the totem player plugin, too. All advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks again! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Sorry if I seemed to give you duff information, I didn't realize you had other plugins or I would have mentioned the mozplugger and totem plugin. I found totem wouldn't play .wmv for me it just put a nice word or two up and locked up as you say. I've never had mozplugger in there so I haven't needed it. I have re-installed FF a number of times and each time copied the two files into .mozilla/plugins and it worked without a hitch. Good Luck.
