You may want to update your urpmi databaseI got the similar error for mplayer.

 

I got the similar error for mplayer.

 

Any thought?

[scarecrow]

The files are there... I suppose their hdlist is out of sync.

Can you try another PLF mirror?

[pipa]

Thanks for your reply.

I tried another mirror and its working now.

 

I have another question:

 

Websites like youtube or other websites offers to view videos online on the browser itself. Is it possible to do that in linux on firefox? I tried, it brings up mplayer but it stops responding as soon as it loads.

 

Any suggestions?

[pmpatrick]

Do you have java and flash installed?

[pipa]

i dont think so. How do I do that?

[scarecrow]

java plugin, flashplugin, mplayer-plugin (or, if you use konqueror for browsing, you can substitute the latter with kmplayer or kaffeine). If your mplayer is armed with a complete codecs pack, you can playback "almost" anything in your browser ( e.g. shockwave content is still an exheption).

[pipa]

I am fairly new to linux. Can you elaborate what should i install and how should I install that?

[Greg2]

As root do

urpmi mplayerplugin jre flash-player-plugin

[pipa]

As root do

urpmi mplayerplugin jre flash-player-plugin

 

 

This command doesn't work it says

 

" no package named flash-player-plugin"

 

Can you please let me know how to install flash?

I had the exact same problem as you are having, until I found this how-to link. I'm not very good at tuning my system and this helped me to get videos running in Firefox on my 2007.1 Free.

 

I've posted this same link a few times and if you bear with it, this how-to will help you establish a nice desktop system of your Mandriva Spring (2007.1) Free.

If you don't like something, I think you can skip at least some parts of this how-to tutorial (I didn't install e.g. the VMware server).

" no package named flash-player-plugin"

 

This means you have not set up the Penguin Liberation Front (PLF) repos, which include non-GPL/proprietary software for Mandriva. Do it now using easyurpmi.

On PLF you will also find the full codecs package- the one from regular repos is crippled.
