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

Thanks in advance for any help.

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

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.

Here's a simple fix:

Edit: For Mandriva 2007 change the

/usr/bin/X11/mplayer

to

/usr/bin/mplayer
