wmv,mpg
 

how can I play mpg and wmv files from the internet?

mplayer .

And mplayerplug-in. You may want to remove the totem plug-in first.

mplayer
 

ok not sure what mplayer is. when I try to play a video kaffene pops up and says it can't play it. I have totem but can't figure out how to utilize it for the online stuff. now if I have to install mplayer I'll need some explicite instructions. I'm real new to this.

What Linux distro are you using?

distro
 

fedora 7 . hopefully this is new enough version

Bare in mind that some wmv files are DRM-crippled. These files won't work under Linux.

mplayer
 

i've installed mplayer and see it under sound and video but firefox doesn't seem to access it. also do i need to add some plugins to get it to play all the videos i see online?

mplayerplug-in. You may want to remove the totem plug-in first.

mplayer
 

how do i get mplayer plugin. please be detailed as i am very new.

mplayer plugin
 

please. someone must know

here is the link for fedora 6: http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/download.php

I don't know if it will work for 7. You can try this: http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=71239

suppose to platform independent.

The following should work for Fedora
