Re: MPlayer Plugin has no Sound
Dear All:
Thank you for being so prompt in responding to my questions! Anyways, I extracted the mplayerplug-in-2.80.tar.gz into my /home folder, but then moved it with the "mv" command to my firefox plugins directory, so it works, but there is no sound! Should I have not installed it from the tarball? Sincerely, Richard |
1. Extract source.
2. Run ./configure. 3. Run make. 4. Copy mplayerplug-in.so to your Mozilla plugins folder, and mplayerplug-in.xpt to your Mozilla components folder. You extracted the source to your home folder but didnt make the plugin. Issue the above commands in the terminal/console/shell, after the third step you will have a file called something like this: mplayerplug-in.so. Move this in plugins directory and restart the browser. Good Luck |
Thank you, but I'm new, so I'm sorry for being so dense: I typed "./configure" or "make" after logging in as root, and it says "bash: no such file or directory". Is there something I'm supposed to do after typing "su" and then my password?
Sincerely, Richard |
Create a separate directory for mplayer plugin tar file, like this:
mkdir plugin (make sure you know where it is, for example: /home/plugin) mv /home/mplayerplug-in-2.80.tar.gz /home/plugin cd /home/plugin tar xzvf mplayerplug-in-2.80.tar.gz cd mplayerplug-in-2.80 (or whatever the directory name is for extracted files) ./configure make............and so on. Do all these as root i.e go in shell, type su and then your password. |
I get the following after typing "./configure":
checking for g++... no checking for c++... no checking for gpp... no checking for aCC... no checking for CC... no checking for cxx... no checking for cc++... no checking for cl... no checking for FCC... no checking for KCC... no checking for RCC... no checking for xlC_r... no checking for xlC... no checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. Geez what now? Thank you. Sincerely, Richard |
You need to install the G++ compiler.
|
Thank you, but how do I install G++? What is the name of the program that I use apt-get install for? And will that take care of everything on that list of errors that popped out of my terminal, or just that first one, and finally, how come I didn't have this problem when installing the plugin for RealPlayer?
Sincerely, Richard |
You didn't encounter that with Realplayer because Real does not ship source - only the compiled binaries.

I don't know if you've got this sorted by now, but I had the same problem with FC3 and the mplayer/mozilla plugin and no sound.
I resolved it by copying all of the win32codec files from /usr/local/lib/codecs to /usr/lib/win32. Sound now works from the mplayer plugin for me in FC3, and I didn't have to uninstall mplayer. There's an easier way to install mplayer in FC3; use 'yum'. You can get a good overview of installing all your browser plugins through yum on this page: http://www.fedorafaq.org/ HTH. |
