mplayer plugins don't work with seamonkey browser
 

Hello! I installed mplayerplug-ins and linked mplayerplug-in.so to the plugin folder of the seamonkey browser and also linked mplayerplug-in.xpt to the component folder in the browser and it doesn't seem to work. I have done that as root since the browser installation dir are in my home dir. Do I need to link the w32codecs to the browser dir too? The seamonkey browser is based on Mozilla .Java and flash plugins work so I assumed I must have done something wrong. Thanks for your input.

Instead of linking mplayerplug-in.so and mplayerplug-in.xpt, just copy them to the relevant places. The only link that should in the plugin directory is libjavaplugin_oji.so. The rest of the files should just be copied to it.

Thanks! It worked I even looked at the plugin options on the browser and it showed that it will play all mpg,mpegs,divx,etc. the only thing I didn't see was the .wmv which is windows media. Now, I have the w32 codecs installed for xine and mplayer. How do I make that work in the browser so I can play embedded .wmv? Tnaks again

Try looking for mplayerplug-in-wmp.so, copy that to the plugins directory and copy the mplayerplug-in-wmp.xpt to the components directory.

That should do it.

Thanks again Baldrick. Now it runs smoothly with no hitch.:)

ok, after I got the mplayer plugin working, I started to notice that the audio and the music volume were degrading over time until I could not hear the audio for anything, not videos, PC games, dvd movies, nothing. apparently the mplayer plugins are causing problems. Has anyone had these problems? Thanks

Huh? no one had this problem before?
