i installed Mplayer plugin and it's working fine, but it's taking over some flash clips and not showing them up well. like i went to HONDA's site and it's not showing the 360 view very well.. a lot of other flash movie are not working with mplayer plugin for firefox.i looked in thr mplayer config file and i was able to disable showing RM files ( real player files ) , but i don't now how to stop it from showing flash files ???? please help

The mplayerplug-in normally does not play flash animations, sometimes the flash animation is newer then the flash plugin can handle.

Have a look at the /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf and .types files to verify.

Do you have an url address for others to check????

that makes a lot of sence since the case doen't apply for all websites . i you want you try it out, go to HONDA.com > CIVIC COPE > gallary > then find the 360 view link. the link doen't show up nice and it's all messed up.
here is my MplayerPlugin conf file :

Code:

vo=x11
ao=alsa
cachesize=512
cache-percent=25
dload-dir=/root
showtime=1
enable-wmp=1
enable-qt=1
enable-rm=0
enable-gmp=1
enable-mpeg=1
enable-mp3=1
enable-ogg=1
enable-smil=1
enable-helix=0
nomediacache=0
rtsp-use-tcp=0

i don't know which of them would be the flash file types. i disabled RM files which are realplayer files but i don't which are the flash type. thanks a lot.
