daniewicz Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 My guess would be mplayerplugin from the repositories. I am not a mplayer user so I cannot verify this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 firefox ask me to install a particular plugin: application/x-mplayer2 You can always find this info on the MIME type list at mozdev.org: plugindoc.mozdev.org In this case it's Windows media. So if you haven't already done so, you will need to add the PLF repos to your software sources using easy-urpmi, the link is at the top-right of the forum page. After you have added the PLF and updated your media sources, you will need to install (from the PLF repos) the mplayer, and the win32-codecs packages. Then install the mplayerplugin package from the Mandriva repos. I would also suggest installing the real-codecs package why you're doing this. Let us know if that works for you, and welcome aboard! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanituo Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 hi greg2 and thanks to your welcame message! i've already installed mplayer and win32-codecs: mplayer-1.0-1.rc2.10mdv2008.1 win32-codecs-1.8-2plf2007.1 then I install real-codecs: real-codecs-1.2-3plf2008.0 but the problem doesn't solve. Can I give you other info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 You also need to install the mplayer from the PLF, that one is from the mdv repo. Could you give us a link to check the media that you are trying to watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanituo Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 You also need to install the mplayer from the PLF, that one is from the mdv repo. Can you give me the code to do this?

Greg2 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 It would be urpmi --media plf mplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanituo Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 urpmi --media plf mplayer now, i've mplayer-1.0-1.rc2.10.5plf2008.1 but firefox always asks the application/x-mplayer2 plugin... what about differences between my old mdv mplayer and this plf version?

Greg2 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 The mplayer from the PLF is compiled with more audio/video support for the patent affected media types. I have just now checked your URL, and I'm also unable to view the streaming video on that site with mplayer or vlc. Can anybody here watch it?

dude67 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 For me it opens up a pop up window, but the player doesn't show anything. It just says "Getting playlist - stopped". But for me it doesn't complain about the plugin. This is from my FF about:plugins for the Windows mediaplayer plug-in: File name: mplayerplug-in-wmp.so mplayerplug-in 3.55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Either I missed something here, or the browser plugin mplayerplugin hasn't been installed, and so until this is done, Firefox won't recognise it. Just installing mplayer and the codecs on it's own won't resolve it, because this is the local media player like totem, kaffeine, vlc, and so on. To get it to work in Firefox, install the mplayerplugin!! Some media might not play, depending on the codec in use, it happens unfortunately. Just need to find out exactly what format it's being broadcast in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 It's called mplayerplugin in the main_release repository. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Just install gecko-mediaplayer, plus the full win32codecs package from the mplayer site, if you haven't already done so. mplayerplugin is genuinely broken ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I know you say that often, scarecrow, but for me mplayerplugin isn't broken and never has been in the past two years. I find it “plug and play†and bug-free. The video application I have the most trouble with is Totem; for some reason, neither it nor the associated firefox plugin has ever worked flawlessly on my PCs… Yves.
