.wmv, .mp3, .avi, etc in Firefox

Hey guys,

I was wondering how I could get Firefox to play embedded .mp3, .wmv, and .avi files in Ubuntu 5.10?

Thanks.

mplayerplug-in. It requires mplayer to be installed. Michapma's suggestion will get you started.

w32codecs and libdvdcss2 are not in the multiverse Ubuntu repositories. To get them, you need to add the line:

Code:

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ etch main

to /etc/apt/sources.list, then do:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2 mozilla-mplayer

That will give you the mplayer plugin for firefox to handle mpeg, quicktime, etc.
