CarlJF Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I have a problem since I upgraded to 2007 spring. In Firefox, when I click an audio link, it openend it with Rythmbox, which cause some problems... It just not working with internet radio. Before that, things were pening with Beep and worked just fine. Is there any way to change the default application from rhythmbox to anything else ??? Thanks!

CarlJF Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 It maybe me that miss something, but in Firefox (2.0.0.4), in the menu you specified, you cannot add new file type. The only options you have is to remove or modify existing ones and the only two that appears are for zip and torrent files. I've tried to remove Rhytmbox, but that only make Firefox open the radio stream in Audacious, which is even worse before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 What if you change the value of browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions from true to false using about:config Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlJF Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 What if you change the value of browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions from true to false using about:config Thanks! With that, I'm able to modify the existing extensions and made the stream plays in a compatible player. Everything is fine with that now! :D However, I'm still wondering how I can add new extensions in the list. Since there's no "add" button. Any idea ? For example, if I try to look at this news footage video, the only thing I see is that I should install a plugin to see it. I'm pretty sure that mplayer could do the trick. If I click on "Download plugin", a window open telling me that no plugin is found with a button to manually install a plugin. And clicking on this "manual install" button gets me to a Microsoft page! :unsure: No very helpful under linux! There's certainly a way to link this file type (application/x-mplayer2) or extension to mplayer, but this option just seems to be hidden somewhere in Firefox. Any idea on how to add the file type above in the list ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlJF Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 Ok guys, find out that the mplayer plugin wasn't installed during the upgrade to spring 2007. Doesn't know why, but, anyway, just reinstalling the package fix the video problem. Thanks again for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
